Christmas Project - Crayon Rolls

This is one of the projects I worked on this month.  I made them for the grandkids and their mothers.  Their mom's take crayons to church to keep the little ones quiet during Sacrament meeting.  I let them open them on Christmas Eve and gave each one a coloring book.  I was surpised how much the kids LOVED them!

I chose fabrics with each child in mind.  William Loves frogs...

Wayne is in to cowboys right now...

Trey LOVES anything Mickey Mouse!

Jayden Loves butterflies, flowers and all things PINK!

Kaitlen is in to her friends.

Haven loves purple

Payten likes Dora

And little Izzy...this matches her car seat but I just Loved the Paisley in pinks and browns.

They hold 24 crayons and roll up nicely for storing.

This was a fun little project and the kids really liked them!

I loved Isabelle's crayon holder! I thought they were so darn cute! I am going to have one of them probably as long as I have kids that play with crayons!

Those are SO cute. You are so creative and talented. Did you make up your own pattern?

Liz said...

Tamra I did make up my pattern it's super easy. I think I will make another one and just post the "How Too's" so everyone can have it.

Those are great! Please do post the pattern, etc. Did you get all of your projects done?

I love these crayon rolls! I love them! What a great idea. Wayyyyy cute! I wish my mother sewed like that, and I really hope that you have passed that talent on to your daughters, what a great legacy! I never learned to sew, I can't even sew a button, but every time I see someone give a homeade quilt, or cute little things like these crayon rolls, I think to myself that I need to learn! Those are some lucky grandkids you have! :)

You could make a business out of those, that's something I'd buy for sure. Adorable and practical too, and I bet you could keep other stuff in them like makeup or handcare things like nail files, polish etc.
