I love having lots of pencil pouches on hand for all of my art supplies. Pencil pouches also come in handy when traveling…even if it’s just going out to backyard to do some art. I made these fun pencil pouches before but this time I wanted to make a galaxy painted pencil pouch.
Make This Galaxy Pencil Pouch Yourself
The secret to the vibrant colors is to use acrylic ink. Acrylic ink is very easy to apply to canvas material and you only need to use a small amount. See below for the supply list and directions.

How to Make a Galaxy Painted Pencil Pouch
-
- Start by painting the black area of the pencil pouch with acrylic paint. I outlined the area first with a pencil.
- Add galaxy details. I used these nail dotting tools for the stars. Using the different sized dotting tools will help create size variation for the stars.
- For the moon, planet and large sizes, use a very small paintbrush.

- Put a small amount of neon acrylic ink in a small plastic paint palette. I painted in rainbow color order but you can use any order you’d like.
