A crayon roll
I remember seeing a roll for picnic silverware in Martha awhile ago and then a couple of weeks ago happythings posted a picture of a crayon & pencil roll she made. So, yesterday during naptime I sketched and measured out my creation. I'm taking advantage of this full moon thing, gotta work fast. Anyway, before dinner I set Keely up with a bunny tea party and went to town sewing away. I messed up three times and the end product is smaller than it was intended to be because I had to keep cutting off my mistakes! So, it took me about an hour total to make this little thing. But I know how to do it now and I think I could make another in about 1/2 hour. Do crayons need a little roll? I don't know. But they got one. The colors are a bit wild but that ribbon totally matches the pink elephant material, no? I am quite pleased with this. Thankyou happythings for the inspiration. Oh yes, and she is working on making a tutorial for a drawstring bag too. 8-)
I'm looking for more projects, keep 'em coming. They'll be another full moon next month.

cute, cute! I started to make one of these once to throw in the diaper bag for restaurant use and never finished. I have to look and finish now!
Yes, I do think crayons need a roll. Glad you had success -- looks really cute! As a kid I was obsessed with putting my crayons in rainbow order so the rainbow ribbon appealed to me for this project. Are kids better during full moons? Hmm, that explains some things!
this is super-duper crazy nice!!! you are sure on a roll! so cute!!! i want one, too...i mean babybug wants one.
I second the motion that this would be perfect to throw in the diaper bag for outings. Too cute.
