New Animal Pencil Caddies are made in the 6x10 hoop and are just as cute as they can be! 

They make up completely in the hoop and incredible QUICK!

They take very little fabric and would make darling party favors or gifts!

They hold 8 pencils (pick your favorite colors!) and have a handy little wrist strap.

Some brands of thinner markers will also fit (I used Crayola thin markers).
