Today Chick is going to a double birthday party, so I made crayon rolls for her to take as gifts. I also made one for her, which was a last minute thought for a birthday gift but didn't get done in time (because it was so last minute)...so I did her's at the same time as the other two.
This was the first one I made, and I just followed the directions from
this tutorial & didn't try anything fancy.
This one I thought would be fun with double needle stitching between & X-stitches around the outside. I like it, but I ended up messing up the spacing, so only 15 crayons fit into the roll & the last spot is too small for a crayon. It would also look better if the double stitching was in the same color, but I used what I had handy & I don't suppose a 3 yr old will care.
On the last one I did X-stitches in between, which I really like, and a vine around the edge (I can take it or leave it...I like the X-stitches around the other one, but was worried that it might be too much to do the dividers & the border like that.)
Anyhow, the outside of the third is made from an old stained t-shirt that I had in my refashion box. All of the other fabrics & materials were from my stash.

very cute! I've been thinking about making some of those, too. I love how you embellished the outside w/ Arizona's name, and tried the different stitching. very cool!
That is such a cute idea! I wish I had a sewing machine-- especially being now, being snowed in for the next couple of days....
Those are awesome! I love the stitch you used to separate the crayons. Your machine must be fancy smancy!
...I don't know why I still haven't made one of these.
Great idea! Thanks for sharing!
I'll add this to my list of projects.
Cute! I love the decorative stitching!
YOU ARE SERIOUSLY AMAZING! I wish I could do that! What a great idea!
