Where the last double slot is located, above and blow that is a leather band and another elastic pouch, enabling safe storage for sharpeners and erasers.On the very bottom of the Pencil Wrap, where the core of the pencils would sit or nib of the pens would sit, there is a soft brown leather skirt that protects the contents of the wrap, making sure that non of your pens or pencils have cores exposed were they could be damaged or worse spike into the user.

The kit allows for the printing of fine line drawings, produce lettering techniques, and create photographic half-tone positives on fabric.
