No-Sew Colored Pencil Roll and No-Sew Crayon Wrap. Free Sewing Pattern and Tutorial.
No-Sew Colored Pencil Roll
For me, summer and sewing don't seem to mix. I've got a lot going on in the garden, it's hot in my garage (AKA sewing studio), the little one isn't wearing much clothing anyway ... the list of excuses is a mile long. But there's good news, my anti-sewing attitude led me to a cool + easy craft!
I put together a little tutorial in case you want to make one.

Here's to simple summer crafts - no machine required!
No-Sew Crayon Wrap
I've been dreaming of a crayon version of the No-Sew Colored Pencil Roll since I made it. But this time, I knew I wanted to add paper. The perfect little wrap to tuck in your purse and have on hand at a restaurant, or any other place a little one is expected to sit fairly still. And so, the No-Sew Crayon Wrap was born. Easily crafted, no sewing machine required. This version requires even less materials and time. What more could one want?

3. With the pattern as your guide, use a ruler to mark all of the dashes in disappearing ink.
4. Using an exacto knife, cut along the dashes to create slits where the crayons and paper will slide through.
5. To make the paper pack, simply cut the sheets in half length wise, fold, and staple a few times along the fold.
