through our gifts! This Crayon Roll Holder is a great and useful gift for children!
I noticed on our crayon roll that the inner fabric lining gets marked up quite a bit from the crayons going in and out. So this time instead of using interfacing on the lining piece I covered it with iron on vinyl. This is such a cool product. I had to keep myself from covering all the pieces---and I am glad I didn't. The turning at the end gets it a bit wrinkled. I fear if I had done the whole thing it might look like a mess. The only draw back is that it is slicker and the crayons have less friction. However the new closure allows you to tighten it up to keep the crayons inside.
You need:
1 - 5 X 16 1/2 inch piece of fabric for the outside
1 - 5 X 16 1/2 inch piece of fabric the the inside
1 - 6 X 16 1/2 inch piece of fabric folded lenghtwise and pressed for the pocket
ric rac (if desired)
1 - 5 X 16 1/2 piece of iron on vinyl
1 Cord Stop
Iron on the vinyl to the right side of your lining piece following package directions.
Place pocket piece ontop of right side of lining. Starting 1 1/4 inches over from the edge, stitch from top of pocket (back stitch at top) to bottom. Then stitch every 1 inch. You should have 1 1/4 inches left on the other end.
If using ric rac pin it around the edges, overlap at bottom. I use fray check to keep ends from unraveling.
Place outside piece ontop of pocket and lining, right sides together. Place a 20" piece of cord (folded in half) in the middle on the right side. Ends of cord go towards the center.
Sew all the way around 1/4 inch from the edge. Leave a 2-3 inch opening at the TOP.
Clip corners and turn. Press (don't press vinyl with bare hot iron), making sure to press opening to the inside. Pin opening shut and then top stitch all the way around very close to the edge (making sure you sew all layers of the opening shut.)
Squeeze the Cord Stop and thread both ends of the cording through the center hole (have patience, thread ends one at a time). Tie the ends of the cording together into a knot. I placed a drop of glue in the knot to keep it secure and then put fray check on the ends.
Finished!

I can’t thank you enough for this tute! I am planning on modifying it slightly (make it wider) to use as a gift for my sister who is a make-up artist. She has so many eye/lip pencils and brushes that I know she will LOVE how organized this helps her keep her supplies. Thanks again!

love this! Wonder if you could do a flap at the top to cover the crayons? We have two rolls (gifts) and the crayons don’t always stay in the pouch when traveling. It’s be great to have some sort of flap that goes over the top of the crayons when not in use…?

[...] I’m soo excited for Macey! She gets to go to her first “friend” birthday party tomorrow for TWO girls that are in her sunbeam class. The invite said to only bring one present but I figure that since these aren’t anything big and fancy that one for each girl will be just fine. I was bummed that the local whatevermart only had one Strawberry Shortcake coloring book. Geesh, that totally ruined my whole Strawberry Shortcake theme. Shortcake is totally better than Cinderella. It was nice to get out Berny and do some sewing while Maddy was down for a nap today. The pattern for the crayon rolls came from Skip to my Lou. [...]
