CUPCAKE CHALK BAG PATTERN

This cupcake chalk bag is so sweet and fun to make. Add a cherry topper and cinch it closed for an adorable chalk bag that will keep your chalk secure and your climbing fun.

Last month, I stumbled upon some adorable cupcake-flannel fabric while rummaging through the JOANN’s remnant fabric bins (who doesn’t head straight there?!). I decided immediately that I would need to crochet a matching cupcake chalk bag so that I could use this precious fabric as the liner. And here we are! More food related chalk bags. I just can’t get enough. It feels like I may need to devote my entire blog to food shaped chalk bags – is that too niche?? I think it would bring me joy, and since I have been Marie Kondo-ing my way through our home, my ability to sense what sparks joy is at an all time high and I’m going with it!
