I found a wonderful Tutorial at a cute blog called 'Chocolate on my Cranium' to make crayon rolls. I thought it would be fun to make one for my 3 year old grandson, Cutler. I also wanted to make larger ones for markers for my two granddaughters, Cailee & Nora. I practiced last night making one for my own colored pencils. I made a few mistakes, but that's how I learn :)
It calls for 3 colors of fabric and fuseable interfacing (I didn't have that!) so I used batting instead. It also called for ribbon to tie it but I used a hair band and a large button.
My spacing is way off but I hope to do better next time. I'm going to pick up a sewing marker so I can actually measure things out! haha
It will be a nice way to store my pencils! It was kind of fun!
Happy Friday to you all!

These are just great gift ideas--love all of them!
You were quite busy and productive. Your snowpeople are adorable. My clay just sits in a box on the shelf and does nothing! I really like your pencil roll. Great possibilities for gifts, especially for the little artists in the family. Thanks for sharing. :o)
