a new take on the crayon roll.

so with the school sales, crayons are cheap! 25 cents cheap. and I probably bought my weight in them. We are big fans of the crayon roll--but I came up with a new twist.

a crayon roll with a little tablet to color.

I got these tablets at walgreens 6 for $1. can't beat that

and made a basic crayon roll

start with some fabric

fold down the top section and sew.

turn it right side out....iron

iron the remaining edges up  just a half inch

then sew along the bottom folded edge.

then take it up about 2/3 of the way

add your elastic for the closure and then sew all the way around.

take a measuring tape and pins

and measure how far apart you want the crayons.

make sure you leave plenty of room for the tablet.

to cover the tablet...i just used hot glue and followed THESE instructions

fill with crayons and tablet and roll up THEN sew on your button

I ended up making a whole slew of them

(I made more than this even....but these are the ones I'm selling on ETSY!)
