My daughter and I are prepping for Music Camp next week. She helped me make these easy pouches for our campers to store their take home games and activities.
I love how simple and inexpensive this was to make. It could also be a great addition to students piano binders where they can store flashcards, take home games, or maybe even serve as an erasable white board.
What you need:
Zippered Pencil Pouch
Electrical Tape
Sharpie
Scissors
Ruler
3x5 card
Because the actual size of the window of my pouch was about the size of an octave on my piano, I just used the cardboard insert to "make a pattern" for my keys, instead of actually measuring. I placed the cardstock over my piano keys and made small snips with scissors in between each key. Then I centered the "pattern" in the pouch and lined up the 3x5 card along the "snips" to draw straight lines across the window. I love how forgiving the electrical tape is, but I thought some of the fun colors and patterns of duct tape could also make a fun variation for the piano keys.

What a cute idea! And with all of the back-to-school sales going on, this is a great time to snap up some of those pouches!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I like to stock up on colored folders and sheet protectors during the sales for storing supplemental printed music/activities this time of year.
