The author says to make them, but doesn't say how.

I would take the lower leg portion, and sew up the bottom 2/3, and fold the top down.  Attach velcro.  I just made a clutch purse/cosmetic bag this way, and lined it too.  Very easy.

Crayon/Pencil roll: could easily be made from the lower legs of jeans: http://nested.typepad.com/blog/2007/07/m...

And a zippy one: http://ayumills.blogspot.com/2008/06/how...

This one it for felt, but why not cut it out of denim and zigzag the edges, and let them then go raggy.  Very 'in'!  http://www.hobbycraft.co.uk/LESSONS/prin...

Some of these look like great fun.

Answer 3

String and glue.
