Crayons to go with this cool "Fold-up Crayon Pouch" from Nested

Nested has put together a swell "Fold-up Crayon Pouch" tutorial for those kids you just gotta have their colors with them at all times. Even Harold would be beggin' for one of these bad-boys to house his purple crayons.

Once I can across this excellent tutorial with clear instructions and pictures I knew I had to make some for my mini Monets. The one you see pictured is my first attempt at the pouch which took about an hour to complete and is severely crooked. Fortunately, this pouch is for my 2 year old daughter who won't ever notice the tons of flaws. The perfect pouch for my little one who never leaves a restaurant without lifting a few crayons. My 8 year old son isn't as excited about this whole project as I am. Although he's actually thinking a larger one for his markers and colored pencils in skull fabric, of course, wouldn't be so bad and might actually help him keep track of them because those darn things seem to have a knack at making their way into all sorts of drawers and such in our home. I'm even thinking these pouches would make some nice holiday gifts for the cousins. Roll and tote those Crayolas and never worry about losing Magenta again.
