what made me late for school pick-up today…

February 17, 2009 in crayon wrap, doll nappies, etsy by Sew Funky | 3 comments

okay, so it didn’t make me that late! I just got carried away and before I knew it, it was 2.45pm…


some new crayon wraps for my etsy store…


and some doll nappies too…

The doll nappies fit a cabbage patch doll and are ever so sweet! I thought I would make some for Briahna’s dolls and I might even put some in my etsy store…

The crayon wraps are a new design I came up with today. The crayon’s slip into the pockets and underneath the top and then are rolled up and tied. :) They look great, I just have to get some photographs taken with the crayons inside and I’ll hopefully have them in my store by tomorrow.

I would have liked to have added them to the store today, but I’m out tonight at a movie screening of Confessions of a Shopaholic. :)

yet another crayon wrap…

For sweet Lilli, who just turned three!


An easier wrap, cos I didn’t have to “make” the crayons…


I’m just loving how easy these are to make, and how much enjoyment they give the recipient and their parents. It’s such a great thing to be able to throw something like this in your handbag with a notebook, to keep the kid’s occupied in waiting rooms and at church etc. :)

It’s a wrap…

Hehehe!, well actually it’s a crayon wrap! :)

Avert your eyes, Rebekah and Jodz, or you’ll ruin the surprise!

Today is the first day that we are kidless! Well, they left yesterday, and today’s the first full day away from them. Can you tell I’m missing them already? Well, kinda, at least it’s given me some wonderful time to get creative!

I wrote my first review on Filmguide late last night after watching Australia – go check it out and tell me what you all think! The first part of the review was written by Mr Sew-Funky and the second part, by me! A kind of “he say’s, she say’s” review!

Back to the original reason for this post – the crayon wrap!

I don’t know if you’ve ever been stuck with lot’s of broken crayons before, but with three budding artists in the family, I am. So what to do with the useless little bits… Well, you can make new ones, rainbow ones if you like… And so before I even made the crayon wrap prototype I wanted to make some wee crayons by recycling the old. :)

Here’s how;

You need something to melt them in, I chose an old gem iron, but you can make them in muffin pans too!

You need some old worn out crayons, my girls have plenty! :) Don’t worry if they look awful, they won’t look bad for long!

Put baking paper in the gem iron (so they won’t stay in there after melting!). Break up the crayons and put them in. I chose similar colours, but you can mix the crayons up for a rainbow effect!

Put them in the oven at 180 degrees Celcius for about 15 minutes. Look at them melt, this is after around 5 minutes.

They’re ready to take out when they look like this! Leave them to set in the gem iron. :)

This is what they looked like when I took them out of the iron, all ready to put into the new crayon wrap!

Tah Dah! All ready to use by little hands!

And here are the gorgeous little wraps that I made for Miss Jodz Stuff and for my cute little nephew Mo!

This is what they look like when they’re open. They have a little flap that covers the crayons. :)


Seriously cute, don’t you think?
