Crayon Roll for Twist-up Crayons

Mushroom and Fairy Crayon Roll

Since Hannah has upgraded from "regular" crayons to twist up crayons, I decided to make her a new crayon roll.  I used the tutorial from Skip to my Lou, but changed the dimensions to fit the twist up crayons.

The pockets for each crayon are 3/4" wide

I also added two additional pockets, one at 3/4" for a pencil, and this one at 1" for a twist up eraser.
I used a 1/4" seam allowance on the entire piece.  

Outer Piece & Lining - 11.25" long and 8" tall
Inner Pocket - 11.25" long and 10" tall (folded in half so it measures 11.25" long and 5" tall
20" piece of cording and a cord stop

If you are just making one for 12 twist up crayons without the extra slots then it would measure 9.5" long (instead of 11.25" long)

Hannah's is SO into mushrooms right now this this fabric worked perfect!

The little fairies are cute too.

All rolled up which fits nicely into my purse, for drawing at restaurants.

The cord stop keeps everything nice and tight so no crayons slip out.

Crayon Rolls

Here are the CUTE crayon rolls that I've finally finished!! I just think they are the coolest thing around. They are easy to make too. They fit a 16 pack of crayons (which I bought for .25 cents each at Wal-mart). Here's the online tutorial that I followed to make these. It took me about an hour to make each one of them. Not too bad until I decided to make 39 of them...

Pink and purple for the girls.


Big boys got dinosaurs!


Animals for the little boys.


Thomas the Tank Engine for my nephew.


The crayon rolls even hold an 8 pack of "Big" Crayons placed in every other pocket (for the smaller artists).
