Dollar Store Christmas: Crayon Rolls for Kids

Frugal Gift 1: Crayon Rolls for Kids


Life in Grace hosted an awesome tutorial written by Lindsey of The Pleated Poppy for how to make crayon rolls for kids that I followed to make these. I also made a taller version of this to hold colored pencils for a 13 year old budding artist.


Cost per roll: $.98
* fabric: scraps from old projects
* Buttons: on hand
* Hair elastic: on hand
* Crayons: $1.96 at walmart for a box large enough to fill both rolls

This post is a part of my Dollar Store Christmas round up 2010 series. Full post here.

I'm sharing this with:
