This DIY Jewelry Organizer Looks like a Notebook

Being the busy #girlbosses we are, finding a way to keep up with our packed schedules in style is a daily concern. In order to take our favorite jewels from the office to drinks to business trips and vacations, we made these DIY organizers disguised as notebooks that pop right into a tote, weekend bag or suitcase!

Chloe + Isabel

Travel Jewelry Organizer Kit in natural linen or black color options. As a serious BONUS, this kit also comes with 20% off Chloe + Isabel jewelry to fill it up!

This DIY kit uses similar techniques applied in traditional bookbinding to create a hardcover “book” with added walls to contain your jewelry. Keep scrolling for detailed instructions!

Materials (included in our kit!):

– book cloth roll

– chipboard sheets

– card stock

– PVA glue

– E6000 glue

– foam brush

– black velvet foam insert

– elastic

– X-ACTO knife

– brass brads

Additional Supplies (not included in kit):

– cutting mat

– steel ruler

– scissors

– pencil

– small bowl or other container (for glue)

Instructions:

1. Cut your chipboard into two 8.5 x 5.5-inch pieces, two 8.5 x 1-inch strips, two 5.5 x 1-inch strips and four 1 x 1-inch squares, using your X-ACTO knife.

2. Place your chipboard pieces onto the paper side of your book cloth, trace around in pencil and cut out using scissors.

3. Brush PVA glue onto your book cloth using your foam brush and then start folding your exposed book cloth over your chipboard.

4. Add more PVA glue to your 1-inch chipboard strips and tightly fold the book cloth down on top of them — these will be your walls.

5. Fold up your 1-inch walls to match up with your 1 x 1-inch tabs, and cut a small vertical slit into each of them so that you can fit a brad through both.

6. Fold up these walls again and glue down the remaining book cloth onto the back cover, folding your 1 x 1-inch tabs inward at the same time.

7. Once your three walls are up, cut your card stock to 8 x 11 inches and glue down with PVA glue to cover the exposed chipboard.

8. Fasten the four 1 x 1-inch tabs to their corresponding walls by pushing a brad into your pre-cut slits and securing from the inside.

9. Cut your foam insert down to 5.5 inches wide, making sure that the ring slits run horizontally. Then trace below the insert in pencil.

10. Glue leftover book cloth onto a 5.5 x 0.75-inch chipboard strip and glue onto to the line you traced to create a dividing wall.

11. Let dry for 15 minutes or so and then place your foam insert back into the organizer. It should fit snugly against your dividing wall.

12. Add an elastic strap by glueing the two ends to the back cover of your organizer with E6000 glue, and let dry overnight under a heavy object.

13. Pop in your jewelry and hit the road knowing your favorite pieces are safe!

Grab your main materials pictured on the left (and included in our kit!), some additional household supplies (pictured right) and let’s get started!

Cut your first sheet of chipboard directly in half with your X-ACTO knife, so that you have two rectangles measuring 5.5 x 8.5 inches.

BUILDING THE BOOK COVER

Then, cut your second sheet of chipboard into two 8.5 x 1-inch strips, two 5.5 x 1-inch strips, and four 1 x 1-inch squares. It may help to first draw this out in pencil before cutting with your X-ACTO.

Double check that you have all the pieces pictured above cut out and ready to go!

Next, unroll your book cloth and then roll it paper-side out so that it will lay flat when unrolled.

Arrange your chipboard pieces onto the paper side of your book cloth, leaving small 1/8-inch gaps between all of your pieces. Make sure your whole arrangement is two inches from the top edge and one inch from the left edge. Temporarily tape or hold down the pieces with your hand, and carefully trace around the perimeter of your chipboard in pencil.

Draw a one- to two-inch border around your pieces so that it matches the drawing above and then cut along that same border with scissors. Take a minute to make sure that your border looks like this – your careful measurements here are the key to the success of your case later!

Put your chipboard pieces to the side and then cut two slits at the four corners where your 1 x 1-inch chipboard tabs were previously placed. This will allow your 1-inch tabs to fold inward later.

When you’ve cut slits in all four corners, your book cloth should look like this.

Brush an even layer of PVA glue onto your book cloth using your foam brush while staying inside the lines that you traced around your chipboard pieces.

Carefully place your chipboard pieces back onto the glued book cloth in the same arrangement that you traced before, leaving an approximately 1/8-inch gap in between all your pieces.

Brush a thin layer of PVA glue onto the book cloth surrounding the left side of your chipboard (this will be your front cover when you’re done), tightly fold the two corners over onto the chipboard and smooth down.

Brush a little extra glue onto the corners before tightly folding the top, bottom and left-side flaps onto the chipboard.

This time, brush PVA glue onto just your 1-inch-wide chipboard strips and tightly fold the book cloth over the glue. This will leave the bottom inch of your book cloth free of glue so that you can fold up the walls of your organizer later.

Fold up this first wall so that it stands straight up. This just stretches out the book cloth to allow you to fold up all three walls later when the glue has dried.

Repeat this process with the bottom and right edges, remembering to only apply glue to the chipboard strips.

When you’ve glued and folded all three edges, your covered chipboard should look like this.

While your arrangement is still flat, cut a small vertical slit into the middle of your 1 x 1-inch tabs using your X-ACTO knife. Make sure the knife can go all the way through before folding up your “book” spine and poking your knife through the slit to reach the second piece of chipboard. This will make a small mark on the spine for you to cut a matching slit.

Cut a horizontal slit in the spine where you previously made a small mark through the 1 x 1-inch tab. Repeat this process for all four 1 x 1-inch tabs and their corresponding walls.

Now it’s time to raise those walls! Brush PVA glue onto your three remaining strips of book cloth, fold up your three walls at a right angle and smooth down the glued cloth onto the chipboard with your hands. Make sure your 1-inch tabs fold inside your right-hand wall when you fold up the top and bottom walls.

Your soon-to-be organizer should now look something like this!

To cover up the exposed chipboard, trim your card stock down to 8 x 11 inches with your X-ACTO knife. Then glue the card stock down with PVA glue, leaving a small, even border of book cloth showing.

COVERING THE INTERIOR

Carefully fold up the spine of your “book” and then fold just the front cover upward, creasing the cardstock with your fingernail so that it can easily fold open and closed.

Now that you’ve covered your chipboard, carefully poke the X-ACTO through the slits you cut earlier so that it also cuts through the card stock.

Then fold up the spine and fasten it to your 1 x 1-inch tabs by pushing a brad through the matching slits in the spine and tabs. Open up the two wings of the brad to hold everything together.

Almost done, we promise! Your “notebook” organizer should look like this!

Trim the foam insert down to 5.5 inches wide by pressing down firmly with your ruler and cutting with your X-ACTO knife. Make sure that the ring slits are running horizontally while you do this.

Place the trimmed foam insert into your organizer so that it fits snugly on the top and sides, and trace a line underneath it in pencil. This is where we will create a divider wall separating the foam section and a bottom section for chunkier jewelry pieces.

Cut a 5.5 x 0.75-inch strip of chipboard and a 5.5 x 4-inch piece of book cloth from your leftover materials.

Brush PVA glue onto your piece of book cloth, 0.5 inches from the top and 1.5 inches from the bottom.

Place your chipboard strip onto the glue and tightly fold the book cloth over it. Then fold back the two un-glued strips and cover with more PVA glue.

Carefully place this piece, glue side down, onto the pencil line you traced earlier and smooth down to create a dividing wall.

Pop in your foam insert and your inner structure is done!

To add an elastic strap closure, wrap the elastic around the front and back of your organizer and trim the ends two inches from the edge on the backside.

ADDING THE ELASTIC STRAP

Put a dab of E6000 glue onto the end of your elastic and fold it over onto itself. Then glue this folded over edge onto the backside of your organizer. Repeat on the other end of the elastic and place a heavy object on both sides while the glue dries overnight.

Look at that clever jewelry case in disguise! Hide it in a stack of books and no one will ever know.

This edible crescent-roll cornucopia is our way of making a normal cheese boardmore festive — and definitely more fun — during the holiday season. Our go-to this time of year is a massive cheese plate that can stand alone and be the main attraction, or the starter for a larger meal. Press on for the surprisingly easy steps to braid a breaded cornucopia.

Chris Andre

Materials + Tools:

  • 1 roll of tin foil
  • 2 packages of crescent rolls
  • 1 egg (for egg wash before cornucopia goes into the oven), optional

Chris Andre

Instructions:

Start by sculpting tin foil into the shape of a cornucopia (it looks like a cone with an upturned tail). Pro tip: Lightly pack tin foil so it's easier to remove later from your baked cornucopia. Crescent rolls should be buttery enough that this shouldn't be difficult.

Chris Andre

Your tin foil mold should look a little something like this.

Chris Andre

Pop open the crescent rolls and cut the triangles into strips. Pinch together the ends of strips to make strips longer.

Chris Andre

Braid crescent roll strips. You can make these as fancy as you want. Not a braiding pro? Skip this step and leave those strips alone.

Chris Andre

Wrap tin foil cornucopia with braids/strips. Make sure you cover all the tin foil. Leave a little wiggle room at the opening of the cornucopia, so that when you’re done baking you can pull some of that tin foil out.

Chris Andre

Use any extra dough to cover the bottom of your cornucopia. Pinch the sides and anchor those braids/strips in.

Chris Andre

Brush on egg wash before placing your cornucopia in the oven. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes. Take out of oven and cover spots of cornucopia that are already golden brown with extra tin foil. Bake for another 20 minutes at 250 degrees Fahrenheit.

Chris Andre

Let it cool down until it’s easy to handle. Remove tin foil.

Chris Andre

Place cornucopia in corner of your cheese plate. Arrange cheese on your serving tray.

Chris Andre

Add crackers — we like to have two or three options.

Chris Andre

Don’t forget to fill up your cornucopia. It's called "the horn of plenty" for a reason. Fill with fresh fruit like grapes, apples, and pears.

Chris Andre

Add nuts like walnuts and pistachios to fill in any empty spaces. Garnish with fresh herbs like rosemary and sage to finish it off.

Chris Andre

Voilà! Invite over your friends, open a bottle of wine, and dig in!

Chris Andre

A cornucopia cheese board will become your new favorite holiday tradition.

Madewell does such a great job with their accessories — I've bought multiple items from them with them never really tarnishing. These chunky earrings are perfectly on trend, and at such an affordable price too!

Mango Chunky Stone Earrings

I love these gold statement earrings! The hardware is definitely gold, but the pops of color in the stones bring such a fun element to any outfit.

I can totally see these with a dainty pink purse, or a classic chocolate leather bag.

Jenny Bird Florence Earrings

These were gifted to me, but I'm telling you right now, I've worn them SO much that I would buy them in a heartbeat.

They are extremely high quality, durable, and perfect for everyday use!

Coach Carriage Studs

These are giving me all the vintage-vibes with the sweet horse-drawn carriage engraved into them! I love the detailing, and I especially love how affordable they are, given these earrings are Coach. They're simple but are sure to become an everyday pair!

Madewell Pearl Earrings

Pearl and gold together just look phenomenal and so classy! I love these because they aren't as weighty, so they won't feel super heavy on your ears when you wear them, all the while still giving the illusion of more hearty earrings. Definitely perfect for a comfy, cute statement earring!

Heaven Mayhem Wine Earrings

I personally have these and wear them ALL the time! They are the perfect accessory to an all black look. My favorite way to style them is with a chic blazer and jeans with a slicked back bun, and voila! The earrings pack a punch and add some fun to an otherwise simple outfit!

Bauble Bar Flower Earrings

Flower earrings are a great way to make a statement, and I absolutely love Bauble Bar for all of their statement jewelry! They have some other great gold options that are sure to stand out and help add some flair to your outfit!

Sézane Heart Earrings

These gold statement earrings definitely made a statement (see what I did there?) when they went viral on Tiktok! They sold out for a brief moment, but they're available now, so run to grab them while they're still in stock!

Anthropologie Gold Starfish Earrings

Want to be an IRL Princess Ariel?! Then these are the earrings for you! I would definitely grab them if you have any upcoming tropical vacations planned because these would be to-die for during a beach-front dinner!

Petit Moments Dangling Earrings

Dangling earrings are such a moment because they just feel so elegant and extravagant at the same time! Every time I wear earrings like this, it feels like I'm headed off to fancy ball in a gown. And these stunning earrings are made with 18k gold plating, so they're extremely nice quality without all the fully-gold cost.

Sterling Forever Pearl Earrings

The vintage '80s brooch-looking earrings will never be out of style, I'm truly obsessed with them! If you can't thrift them, then I would highly suggest these stunning pearl earrings from Sterling Forever, because they really do look straight out of the '80s! These are the perfect statement piece to any outfit!

Though Black Friday is traditionally the official start of the holiday shopping season, we argue that it’s been kicking since mid-October. We know, we know: it still feels extremely early to start thinking about the holidays, but they’ll be here before you know it! Plus, many brands and retailers are already promoting their holiday goodies with plenty of sales and discounts available right now.

If you’re ready to embark on your holiday shopping journey, but still need answers to questions like ‘when’s the best time to shop?’ and ‘where should I shop for gifts?’ and even ‘how the heck do I save money this season?’, you’ve come to the right place. Consider this your go-to guide for holiday shopping in 2024.

Scroll on for our best guidance on navigating this busy time of year and finding the best gifts possible!

When's the best time to do holiday shopping?

Kaboompics / PEXELS

The best time to do holiday shopping really all depends on your personal shopping goals. Do you want to get a jump on items you know will sell out soon? Do you want to save the most money possible? Do you want to focus on handmade, personalized gifts? These factors will undoubtedly influence your holiday shopping schedule.

Cottonbro Studio / PEXELS

Shopping early can be advantageous for all of the aforementioned goals. A lot of retailers start promoting their holiday products early on, giving you ample time to snatch up that limited-time lip kit or fancy water bottle you’ve been eyeing way before the holidays.

Plus, some of the best deals for holiday shopping happen ahead of Black Friday and Cyber Monday – in 2023, Experian observed a surge in early spending in October, thanks to early discounts, a trend likely to continue in 2024.

Finally, shopping early can be especially helpful if your plan is to focus on handmade or personalized gifts, giving the artisan you buy from (or yourself, if you’re DIY-ing your gifts) plenty of time to craft the item with love and care.

Gallup reported in 2023 that one in four shoppers start shopping as early as September, a trend likely to continue in 2024 – so you might already be embarking on your shopping spree!

Mikhail Nilov / PEXELS

If right now is just still too darn early for you to start holiday shopping, Black Friday and Cyber Monday are some of the best times to shop since so many retailers offer their largest discounts of the entire year. Plus, the late November-early December timeline can feel a bit more appropriate for the gifting season opposed to late October-early November, when everyone’s still recovering from Halloween.

The only thing to consider during this time is the shipping timelines for the items you purchase – but most retailers will typically advise their specific shipping schedules, so you don’t risk your goodies arriving late.

Where should I shop for gifts?

Ron Lach / PEXELS

You have three main options when it comes to where to shop for holiday gifts: online, in-store, and via our amazing gift guides. Of course, each method has its advantages and disadvantages.

Shopping in-store offers a tangible experience: the opportunity to hold specific items in your hands and gauge exactly what they’ll be like when you give them as a gift. The pitfall with shopping in-person is that it typically requires a commute and journeys through potentially very busy malls and shopping strips, which can add to the already-stressful holiday experience.

In-store shopping can be more physically exhausting, but it’s all about preference! Sometimes strolling through the stores that get all dolled up for Christmas is the best part of the season.

Andrea Piacquadio / PEXELS

Per Google, 65% of those planning to shop for the holidays say they will shop online more. Shopping for gifts online can be super helpful since you can centralize your findings in your browser’s bookmark tab or via virtual cart(s). Plus, shopping online can pose more opportunities for saving some money: lots of retailers typically offer discount codes for online users, especially if you sign up for their digital marketing channels (like email and text) and make a purchase.

Shopping online isn’t just shopping, either. The internet can be a stellar research tool to help you vet whether certain products are worth it, where they can be bought, and when they’ll be available. In fact, Google reported that more than half of U.S. holiday shoppers who went into a store last year say they looked up product reviews online and/or located an item in-store by checking it online.

Kaboompics / PEXELS

Last but not least, scrolling gift guides has to be our favorite place to shop for gifts – and not just because we write and publish them.

At their very core, gift guides help streamline the holiday shopping process, alleviating the stress that bubbles up when you’re wondering what the heck to shop for in the first place. Our gift guides are backed by real people, real experiences, and real opinions from our editorial team. We only promote products that we really love and believe in, oftentimes ones we’ve tested and reviewed ourselves.

We have gift guides for just about everyone on your list, with more on the way! Check ‘em out:

What are the best kinds of gifts to give?

Kaboompics / PEXELS

The best kinds of gifts to give are thoughtful gifts that consider the giftee’s interests, wants, and needs. These gifts can be sentimental, practical, or both simultaneously. What matters most in a gift is that it’ll be meaningful to them past just the holiday season, whether it’s helping them get through daily tasks, reminding them of a memorable trip or event, or giving them small doses of joy.

“Shoppers are increasingly looking for personalized and unique gifts that reflect the recipient's personality and interests,” says Mia Anderson, Owner of ChicSew. “With the rise of online shopping, many consumers are opting for curated gift boxes or experiences that add a special touch.”

Cottonbro Studio / PEXELS

Gift boxes, personalized items, books of interest, self-care goodies, and even gift cards can all be thoughtful gifts depending on the recipient. If you have no clue what your giftee is into, it’s not a bad idea to ask them what they want the most!

“My idea of a great gift is something that is in tandem with the recipient's interest and offers something new to the person, be it learning a new skill, enjoying a calming activity, or simply spending quality time with the family,” says Alfred Christ, Sales Manager & Marketer at Robotime. “This season, we encourage shoppers to shift their focus on quality and the memories their gifts will create and not just merely material aspects.”

When is Black Friday?

Sora Shimazaki / PEXELS

Black Friday is always the Friday after Thanksgiving. This year, Black Friday lands on November 29.

When is Cyber Monday?

Kindel Media / PEXELS

Cyber Monday is typcally the Monday after Thanksgiving. This year, Cyber Monday will land on December 2. Oftentimes, retailers and brands extend their online offers through the week (coined Cyber Week) after the event. Salesforce reported that 67% of shoppers in 2024 plan on shopping during Cyber Week!

The holidays at Starbucks are creeping up on us, people! Peppermint Mocha season will return on November 7. If you’re a die-hard Starbucks fan, you know Red Cup Day is a whole holiday in itself – the frenzy for a free reusable cup is truly no joke. There’s even an entire website dedicated to counting down the madness! Even though there’s no official word on when Red Cup Day 2024 will be, there are several clues that cue us into the annual event. Scroll on for details!

What is Red Cup Day?

Starbucks

Red Cup Day is Starbucks’ highly-awaited annual event that marks the start of holiday beverage season at the coffee chain. For one day only (and while supplies last), customers who order any of Starbucks’ holiday drinks will receive a reusable red cup that features a bespoke design for the respective year.

Starbucks

Here’s a list of all the drinks rumored to be available on the Starbucks holiday menu starting November 7:

  • Peppermint Mocha
  • Peppermint White Chocolate Mocha
  • Caramel Brûlée Latte
  • Sugar Cookie Almondmilk Latte
  • Chestnut Praline Latte
  • Salted Pecan Crunch Cold Brew
  • Iced Gingerbread Oatmilk Chai

What do the red cups look like for 2024?

Starbucks

Starbucks hasn’t officially announced when Red Cup Day will be for 2024, let alone what the famed red cups will look like this go-around. The one obvious point is that the cups will be red! They’ll also likely feature some festive motifs that echo the holiday season. Last year’s red cups boasted playful white and green stars and ornament-like shapes.

Why should I participate in Red Cup Day?

Starbucks

Red Cup Day = freebies, which can feel really rewarding if you’re really into receiving free goodies. Plus, it’s just a fun way to lean into the holiday spirit. The red reusable cup keeps giving beyond Red Cup Day, though! Every time you use the reusable cup for future Starbucks orders, you get a 10-cent discount as well as 25 bonus stars toward your Starbucks Rewards account to save up for more discounts on drinks, food, and merchandise.

When is Starbucks' Red Cup Day 2024?

Starbucks

Again, Starbucks hasn’t alerted us on when Red Cup Day will be for 2024, but based on previous Red Cup Days, we can infer it’ll land on the third Thursday of November. In 2022, Red Cup Day happened on November 17, and for 2023, it was November 16. The third Thursday of November in 2024 hits on November 21, so mark your calendars, everyone!

Additionally, check back here for official info as Red Cup Day approaches.
