Tutorial: No-sew sidewalk chalk bag

June 24, 2013 by Anne Weaver

IMG_5490There’s nothing like a few pieces of colored sidewalk chalk for inexpensive summertime fun.  Jess from The Sewing Rabbit shares a tutorial at Craftaholics Anonymous shows how you can make a drawstring bag to hold your sidewalk chalk.  It’s made from a non-fraying vinyl or chalkboard fabric and no sewing is required.  You can make one in just 10 minutes.  Go to Craftaholics Anonymous for the how-to.

Sidewalk chalk is a great way to entertain the kids and you don’t need to buy it. It is so easy to make at home and inexpensive too. Sidewalk chalk is great for adults who like to draw or doodle too. Grab the kids and find some concrete sit down and have fun.

Making and using sidewalk chalk became very popular in 2020 as decorations and drawings were placed on the streets by children during the lockdown. If you are looking to make your own chalk check out this Sidewalk Chalk paint Kit it uses liquid chalk for squeezing and painting rather than hand drawing with solid sidewalk chalk.
