Birthday presents for the kid's classmates are always a challenge for me. I don't know the kids very well. I don't want to just buy them junk, but I also don't want to invest too much time into making something. I have been thinking about this little art purse for awhile, but have not been able to sort it all out until yesterday afternoon. I sat down and drew out a plan then did some measuring and it all fell into place. It is the perfect size for a toddler. The pocket is just big enough for a 5 x 7 notebook.
I took pictures and jotted down measurements so that I can make a tutorial. Plus we just received another invitation today for another birthday party. So I think I will make at least a couple more to work out any kinks and make sure I have good photos.
Happy Crafty Tuesday everyone!!!

Those are absolutely perfect "classmate gifts" as you say! And every kid loves an art kit. I will be happy to testdrive your tutorial for you... :-) Although...zippers. Scary.
I love the contrasting polka lots, too!
Cute idea. I like the inside pocket. Definitely should make cute gifts for kiddos. :) And I don't blame you for spending time out doors in nice weather one bit.
LOVE IT! Yes, you definitely need to do a tutorial. That is a great birthday gift for a little girl, and not a piece of plastic junk that won't see much use.
that is so very bright and cheerful - and perfect for little hands! Love it. I perked up at the mention of the tutorial, too. Yes please!
I want one! I need something to carry my copy of 'Wreck This Journal' around in. I envy those who sew.
What a great idea! That's adorable!
