You can use any trim you like. The trim seen here is called Ruffle Rick Rack. Place your trim on top of the Wonder Tape and sew it to the exterior of the tote.

I love getting this before Christmas. I saw your link Little Becky Homecky. And such a great tutorial with gorgeous pics to go along with it. Thanks for sharing at Hookin On Hump Day! Very cute — and useful! Like the idea of being able to corral the crayons in the pocket instead of a box that dumps out at the most inoppurtune time! Thanks so much for sharing on Busy Monday! I think this is pretty cool! Your instructions seem very well organized and simple. And now I believe I have found inspiration for Christmas gifts for my god children!!
Only need to find the time. I used leftover pieces of fabric I had from other projects to try it out.

I love this carrier. Thanks for the great tutorial. I wish I sewed better so that I could make this! This is my favorite thing on your blog so far! I just made this but there are a few steps and info missing. Thankfully I realized that and did so before I stitched it altogether.
I used fusible fleece which was helpful. I know, not the best practice. Yours turned out cute. Thanks so much for sharing this awesome project. Thanks for a great tute! Really pleased how mine turned out! So many cute ideas and very adorable!! Keep up the good work!! Question about the felt. I have come across a lot of different kinds of felt. I am familiar with felt but not enough to know what kind of felt is safe for projects like this or for quilting. Can you give me any tips of what to stay away from and which types that are better quality?
You know, since I wrote this I have changed my mind. I would recommend using fusible fleece instead of felt. Was I supposed to sew the main body piece or the pocket piece? It should have said CUT not sewed. I just changed it. Thanks for the heads up. I meant fold the piece that will be your pocket for crayons in half with right sides together and sew it together. A border all the way around? Just the sides and top? With what seam allowance,? I sewed it how I thought and it came out too short, so now I have to take the stitches out and redo it.
Hi Amber, Love this tutorial on the color crayon totes. But I am having difficulty printing the instructions. It keeps say cannot print due to internal issue with the tutorial. Can you please tell me where else I might find it to print. Would greatly appreciated the help. Or do they need to be wiped clean. Thanks so much for the great tutorial! I used this to make my nieces some for Christmas last year and they liked them a lot: Thanks for the great idea and tutorial.
I used quilted fabric for the main piece for the carrier and machine embroidered a crayon design on the front. Then used crayon print cotton fabric for the inside pocket that holds crayons. It was fun to make and give as a gift. Thank you for this great project! Could I use extra firm fusible interfacing in place of the felt?
Do you have the outside dimensions of the portfolio when it is closed? Will it hold a full size coloring book? Amber, I just made this for my Grandson for his 6th birthday. Thanks so much for this wonderful tutorial, it turned out so cute and he enjoyed it the best out of all the gifts. Will be great for going traveling and just being at home! Your tutorial was easy to follow and I will be making 2 more of them for another Grandson and Granddaughter! Thank you so much for this idea.
