A big thank you to Angela for swapping some kid fabric. She helped me be able to make these without buying any new supplies (besides the art stuff)!
I changed the placement and number of pockets and used Velcro instead of ties in order to make it a little easier for kids to open and close and for them to lie flat when closed.
Each one has a pack of 8 crayons, a pad of paper, 5 markers and some stickers.
The pattern can be found here: Mr. Monkeysuit's Traveling Art Show
Edit: If you want to make the pockets as shown here, here are the measurements from left to right: 4.5" - 4.75" - 1" - 1" - 1" - 1" - 1" - whatever was left.
These are genius! They'd make such great stocking stuffers, too!
ReplyDeleteThese are great, Kris! The kids (and their parents!!) will appreciate them.
ReplyDeleteTHose are so cute! I'm sure a few adults will be trying to use them, too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely idea! Those kids are very lucky ;)
ReplyDeleteSuper cute! How nice of you to make them..I'm sure the kids will totally love them!

So cute! I love crayons and fancy holders! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! This will be a great surprise for the kids.
ReplyDeleteThis is just such a sweet and wonderful idea and they turned out so cute. The kids will always remember this as a fun wedding.
ReplyDeletePerfect! What a great gift those will be for the kids. I made crayon caddies awhile back, and they were always a big hit. I love the fabrics you used on these, too-- what a bonus that you didn't even have to shop for them.
ReplyDeleteYou are so sweet for doing this! The kids are going to be so happy.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very cool blog. And I certainly understand your need to make things. I feel the same way, I also learned to "create" things (crocheting, sewing, cooking) at my Grandma's house growing up too.
