Here's the pictures:
This is the chalk side. I'm not sure why I got the wrinkles. I think I needed to let the glue set longer before sewing and rolling it. It was perfectly flat until I rolled it up and then the wrinkles set in. I was too impatient to try them out, I guess. :-) The two I made are going to my nieces as testers before I make a bunch so I'm going to try one more and let the glue set a couple of days before sewing.
