{how to make: a crayon roll-up}

Just wanted to share another Fiskars project today...

from the "gift-a-day" November calendar.

It's the perfect stocking stuffer for any little person on your list!

I've always loved the Crayon-Roll-Up holders that I've seen on crafty sites like etsy, and decided that I'd just design my own.

It's the perfect thing to toss in your purse, or diaper bag, and take out at a restaurant, or in a waiting room, etc etc, you know :)

You can personalize it however you like - this Michael Miller Airplane fabric just happened to be perfect for evan.

And, if you'd like to make your own, you can see the whole project, with directions HERE.

Hi, Susan. Just found your blog yesterday via Lain's 5 Things blog, and I'm hooked already. :)

I love this crayon roll-up, mostly because I love polka dots! I ordered one similar to this from Etsy a year ago, and my son uses it at church or in waiting rooms. The only thing that I don't like is that the crayons have left marks on the fabric at the top of the roll. Maybe we should start putting the tips of the crayons in first, so the marks won't be as bad.

Thanks for the great post!

I love this and so I started making one tonight...thing is I didn't entirely understand the ribbon instructions and as a result only have 1 piece of ribbon on the end...any thoughts for how to remedy? I already stitched the 20 pockets so I can't turn roll back inside out. BooHoo!

Cute, cute project, Susan!!!!!

[Lulu]

Adorable!!! I so need to do that, I'd even use the same fabrics if I would find them!! :)

[Breanne]

very cute, for mine I use one large piece of ribbon instead of the 2 and attach velcro to it, easier for my cousin's son who is only 3 to open and close on his own.

I am trying to make this and I keep reading the instructions over and over but I just don't get it. hmmmm???? I feel silly. Thanks so much for sharing all your projects.
