Child’s Art Apron from Dishtowel

My boys are quite the little artists these days, so I am always trying to think of new ideas for them. I whipped up a little artist’s apron, made completely out of one dollar store dish towel! Mr. S is absolutely in love with all the little pockets! [click here for tutorial]

Also, if you get your crayons during those back-to-school sales like I did, you can get them for 25 cents or less! (Oh, how I love office supplies! But I digress….)

Project Estimate:

Dish towel, $1
Box of 24 crayons, $1

Total: $2

25 cents – I have to keep my eyes open as I have a project I was making with crayons. Do you know if you can buy individual colours somewhere?

This is a great idea!!! Vone, I am not sure if you can buy individual colors but I know you can buy certain ones in bulk at Lakeshore Learning store (they are online as well). I would try a teacher supply store or an art supply store.
