Add on the right, left and bottom another 2.5-3.5 centimeters per sizing and internal volume. Draw a fold line with a simple pencil. Cut off excess paper. In a similar way, make the second blank-side under the pencil cases with your own hands. Only do not measure extra centimeters - they are no longer needed. On pencil lines bend inward seam allowances.
