Toddler Crayon Roll

Last year I made this crayon roll for the first time for my niece Madison. At the time, Owen was under a year old and wasn't really in need of one so I held off in making one for him. Now he's 2 and loves to scribble on paper. After he tore the box, I knew it was time to make him his own crayon roll.

The pattern I used for my previous rolls held 16 skinny crayons. Because Owen uses the bigger chunkier crayons, I modified the roll to hold 8 crayons. A few weeks ago, I found some super cute Cat in the Hat fabric in the scrap pile at the fabric store. This, in combination with my current scrap pile and roll of ribbon, made this project under $2! Love super cheap projects!

So in about an hour, I had a fun toddler-friendly crayon roll!

Please don't look too close, because as always I'm not a perfectionist sewer. :) I can't wait for Owen to use his new roll tomorrow. Stay tuned...there are more sewing projects on the horizon. I'm finally getting around to sewing something for Oliver. :)
