I made my almost 2 year old nephews crayon holders for part of their Easter gifts! I love how they turned out!
Here's what you'll need:
a. 5 x 8.5" outside fabric
b. 5 x 8.5" inside fabric
c. 6 x 8.5" pocket fabric
d. 5 x 8.5" fusible interfacing
e. 17" ribbon
Here's what you do: 1. Fold your pocket piece {c.} in half
hotdog style aka length-wise and press. 2. While you're iron is on, press the fusible interfacing {d.} to the inside piece {b.}
3. Pin the inside piece {b.} to the pocket piece {c}. Line up the open edge of the pocket piece {c.} to a long edge of the inside piece {b.}. 4. Measure in 1.25" from the edge and mark a straight line up & down the pocket piece {as shown below}. Measure in 1" and mark again....all the way to the end of your fabric. You'll have 1.25" left at the other end. {see below} 5. Stitch on the lines you marked,
backstitching where the pocket meets the inside fabric.
6. Pin the outside fabric piece {a.} right sides facing to the pocket/inside piece. Make sure to pin your ribbon on one of the short ends and tuck inside. Stitch on both long sides and one short side {the side with your ribbon}. Leave one short side open for turning. Use a 5/8" seam allowance.
7. Turn the holder right side out. Fold under the open end and stitch shut.
8. Ta-
da!! Insert a package of 8 jumbo crayons and roll up. Use the ribbon to tie shut.
I wish I would have thought about these when my kids were smaller!!
My and Lil Man's school celebrates Grandparent's Day on the same night as Open House. I've been in the habit of giving the grands photos or photo collages. This year, I had each kiddo tell me something that made each grand "the best"....very cute & very insightful!!
I wrote on black paper with white chalk & had each kiddo sign their name.
