Inspired by the Easter basket of goodies Stubby Pencil Studio is offering in this weeks special giveaway, I imagined how nice it would be to fill my own children's baskets this year with nothing but new art supplies and some handmade artists roll-ups made by Mama!
I recently picked up these awesome twig colored pencils and right away thought they deserved a special tin or holder for my daughter to carry them around in. Aren't they wonderful!?
I selected a Domestic Bliss print to match the bright colors of the pencils and a Half Moon Modern scissor fabric to keep with the craft theme. I added a layer of my favorite batting to add that softness and to make sure that nothing my little artist carries would break as this is surely to be slung around quite a bit!
I stitched in extra wide supply slots, to hold these twig pencils nicely, with room for more supplies!
When not in use, I think the addition of my little hanging girl applique will be a fun thing for my girl to roll up and tuck away!
To finish it off, I added an extra long fabric strap to wrap around and keep the roll-up nice and snug. In hindsight I would have added a simple elastic loop like Rachel did here.
Good thing I have two more to make to see just what will work best for my little artists!!
How about you, are you planning on making any Easter gifts?

Oh good a new project!:D I had thought you turned into a giveaway blog, haha! It's great Maureen, I am sure your daughter will love it. I know my niece would!!
ReplyDeleteHa! Nope, not a giveaway blog, although I do love hosting them!!:)
DeleteIt's perfect, Maureen. The fabrics work so well together. Great place to showcase your little applique girl.
ReplyDeleteToo cute! Love it! And so practical.
ReplyDeleteThat's just so adorable, all the details are so wonderful and the applique is totally amazing. And, no Easter presents in our house, I'm trying so hard to keep it as a holiday when no gifts are given, our kids are used to it by now, and complain only a little.
ReplyDeleteReally cute!
ReplyDeleteLove every detail! The applique is really perfect.

I love it! Love those pencils, too. It really looks like you've found *just* the right project for the cute little girl. Have a great week! :)
ReplyDeleteadorable maureen! i bet your daughter is going to love it soo much! how do you cut out the little bitty pieces, like her perfect hair? do you use a silhouette or a cricut or your scissors?
ReplyDeleteLove it and the pencils are so cute.The applique is very nice!
ReplyDeleteSo cute and I really like those pencils and the applique. We always tried to give our kids craft supplies at Easter instead of so much candy. (A little bit of that too)
ReplyDeleteUtterly brilliant! She suits it perfectly :)
ReplyDeleteThe pencils are fabulous too!
I really like this. Any chance of a tutorial?
ReplyDeleteI might!
DeleteIt's so cute! I think homemade gifts will be a wonderful treat in the Easter basket.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Love all the colours. Not really a big celebrator of Easter, we tend to make cakes and such =D
ReplyDeleteI love this, Maureen. What a perfect use for that sweet little girl. I've been totally tempted to buy those exact same pencils before. The natural look is just divine.
ReplyDeleteThat is adorable and I love the twig pencils!
ReplyDeleteThis is so creative! A tutorial would be really great, I hope you do share one!
ReplyDeleteThanks Cheryl! I'll try to put a tutorial together, but it definitely won't be for several weeks!!
DeleteAww, so cute, glad she finally found a home!
ReplyDeleteLove this project Maureen, it looks fantastic and very practical. I have a few loved ones I would like to make one of these for. Did you follow a pattern or make it yourself?
ReplyDeleteThank you Rhonda!! I didn't follow a pattern, I created this one myself, and I am considering putting together a tutorial to share here soon! :)
DeleteI LOVE how that turned out!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute! What a great idea for your cool twig pencils.
