Craftiness of the Day

Infinity Scarf

I have absolutely no patience whatsoever! I watched two different tutorials on how to make an infinity scarf. Needless to say, I took a little bit of info from both and went at it. This is what I came up with! 

I can post some handy dandy instructions on how to recreate this masterpiece when I make the next one. Or....I can make and monogram one for $17. This one happens to be black and white chevron with a red fancy-shmancy monogram. Did I mention that it is cozy flannel?! 

Crayon Rolls

With two small kiddos, crayons are a part of our everyday life. We take crayons in the car, to church, to school...and even places we should not have crayons! The boxes have always annoyed me because my kids destroy them the first time they open them. My next solution was the trusty ziploc baggie. That works fabulous when they leave it open and pick it up. You see what I mean?! So I was really excited when a friend told me about the crayon rolls. 

I use a pattern on my monogram machine to create this, but it could easily be done on a normal sewing machine. You could also change the size to accommodate markers, paint brushes, or make-up stuff. Once you fill it up you just roll it up and tie the ribbon into a bow to hold it secure. When it is opened up, the crayons fit securely into the pockets. They don't fall out, even when dropped. I make these personalized to order for $10.
