Finishing

• Hold crayons right sides/front sides together, thread needle with black yarn, and sew up the sides (making a long strip of 7 crayons). Sew the 1st crayon & last crayon together.
• Leaving pouch inside out, decide which crayons you want on the front/back and which two crayons will be the sides. Hold row 1 of the bottom base to the bottom of either side crayon and sew across. Line the front/back crayons with the side edge of the bottom strip and sew in place. Sew other side crayon to last row of bottom strip, the sew front/back crayons to the other side of bottom strip.
• Starting at Front Center Crayon: Begin by inserting tie between stitches 2 & 3 of row 15, continue weaving in & out of of the stitches of row 15 around each crayon.
• Hide all strings.
• Optional: With Black Puffy Paint, write “Crayons” on the front of the pouch. For a cleaner finish, write the word “Crayons” on a piece of wax paper or plastic wrap. Allow to dry completely, then peel the word off, and glue to the front of the pouch.
