DIY Crayon Wallet

TheInspiredHome.org // DIY Crayon Wallet Tutorial including sticker pocket!

I recently embarked on a number of sewing projects for Miss O. I wanted to make her a few special items before her baby brother arrived. As I’ve mentioned in many posts before, this kid would colour all day long if she could. Making a crayon wallet for her seemed like a no-brainer. Through the wonders of Pinterest I found a number of tutorials but none of them had exactly what I wanted. I decided to wing it by taking ideas from a number of tutorials, photos and existing products. 

This post is not a detailed tutorial but simply an excuse to show off my work! I will give a few pointers of things I applied to my project. Even a beginner can fashion their own version from my tips below. I consider myself a beginner and I came up with my own design so I have faith you can create your own crayon wallet!

Tutorials and Products Used for Inspiration

I decided on a number of things I wanted to include in Miss O’s crayon wallet.

  1. Pockets for crayons
  2. Flap to cover the ends of the crayons
  3. Pocket for a notepad
  4. Pocket to hold stickers
  5. Handle for carrying
  6. Button & elastic closure

I chose a Dora fabric as that is Miss O’s absolute fave. I used a contrasting fabric for the pockets and handle. The dimensions we formed around the size of the crayons and the size of the notepads I purchased at my local dollar store. 

Items Required

  • Dimensions I used for all fabric will be listed further in post
  • 2 identical pieces of fabric: 1 for outside, 1 for inside (these were the same in my design but you can use different fabrics)
  • 2 identical pieces of lightweight fusible interfacing: affixed on inside of the fabric pieces listed above
  • 2 different contrasting fabric pockets (1 piece will = 2 pockets; other is for crayon pocket)
  • Handle in contrasting fabric
  • Large button
  • Piece of elastic (can also use a hair elastic)

Dimensions (fabric is cut 1″ bigger than final product)

  • Cut 2 identical pieces of your main fabric: 19.5″ x 9″
  • Cut 2 identical pieces of fusible interfacing: 19.5″ x 9″
  • Contrasting fabric for crayon pocket: 9″ x 4″
  • Contrasting fabric for notepad +sticker pockets: 11″ x 7″ 
  • Contrasting fabric for handle: 10″ x 1″
  • Elastic: cut according to your button placement

 Basic Rundown of Steps

  • Ironing is very important – it will help you with your creases and keep things lined up.
  • Start by sewing on your crayon pocket; reinforce the stitching between crayon spaces. Each pocket is 1 1/4″.
  • Stitch on your other pockets; reinforce the top few stitches on each pocket.
  • Figure out button placement and sew it in to place.
  • Make your handle using the same technique as making a key fob.
  • Pin your front & back pieces, right sides together. Be sure to include your handle & elastic (tuck them in!)
  • Sew around the outside; put extra stitches over the elastic & handle. Flip it right side out. Sew around the perimeter ensuring you close the hole used to flip. 
  • Iron your creases one last time et voila! 
  • Please feel free to ask questions in the comments below if you would like further clarification on certain things. Please keep in mind this is not intended to be a full tutorial, simply a guide to help you design your very own crayon wallet!
