Make a 15х21 cm base:

Paint the white cloth with the green spray:

Draw dark green stripes:

Use the painted cloth to make the cover. Stitch it with the synthetic stuffing in the middle:

Add the elastic:

The elastic should be at the edge of the red fleece and green cloth:

Wrap the cloth at the corners:

You can sew or glue the buttonhole pencil. To do this, fold a small piece of elastic in half and glue under the flyleaf.
