Crayon Roll

I made the crayon roll using this tutorial, all from scrap fabric and ribbon (hence the reason the ribbon doesn't really match). 

What I learned: 

1.  Rick rack is cute, but hard to sew on evenly.  Maybe I will improve with practice. 
2.  Put the cute fabric either as the pocket or as the outside (not behind the crayons as I did here -- you can barely see it). 
3.  This is a quick sewing project -- less than an hour. 
4.  If you have more than 16 crayons (the number used in the tutorial), just add an inch for every additional crayon to your measurements.

I made a couple of these also. The kids love them. I don't like that the crayons leave marks on the fabric behind the pockets though.

Cute- but are the kids better at putting their crayons away since they have these? Our big problem with Claire and her crayons/markers is keeping them cleaned up.
