Crayon and Pencil Rolls

I Made These :)

I made 13: 9 crayon rolls, 3 color pencil rolls and 1 marking pen roll. This was my Christmas present 2011 project for all my nieces, nephews and kids(and one for a friend at work). The first one I made took a few hours to figure out. I had seen a photo of a crayon roll(if you google search for 'crayon roll' you'll find tons of images). I took what I saw and did what I usually do by altering the design a bit to make it mine. I wanted each crayons pocket to be a matching color to the crayon. Most of the images I saw were not like that. Most looked plain: super easy to make but looked so plain. I also thought of changing how to keep it rolled up. Most of the images I saw had two strings that tie in a bow...I made mine with a band of elastic...I thought that would make it more kid friendly. Towards the end I got very fast at making these. I'm actually not burned out on them. I wanted to keep making, but ran out of kids. Maybe I'll make some for my girl scouts... Since I've done this project...I've become so familiar that I can name all the colors in a box of crayons.
