I was blog hopping and stumbled upon a couple of fun sewing projects that I could do with some of my scraps. I’ve never made a crayon roll before, so I tried it, and it was fun. So I made four. Most crayon rolls are tied up with a ribbon, but I figure that most kids don’t know how to tie things so I added a button with an elastic loop instead. (if anyone knows how to sew on an elastic cord without breaking the elastic, I would love a tip.) The tutorial can be found at Chocolate on my Cranium.
These are mini crayon rolls which hold the bare necessities
These rolls hold up to 16 crayons
Hopefully my nieces will enjoy these. I made a quick little pair of kimono baby shoes so their little brother wouldn’t feel left out.
The kimono shoe pattern is found at homespun-threads. I discovered a new love recently…linen and corduroy fabric! Oh the endless possibilities!
