Style On-the-Go: How to Make a DIY Travel Jewelry Organizer

Time to vote! Which one is worse: Tangled necklaces or losing one earring? They’re both pretty terrible. Our solution: this all-in-one travel jewelry case! This is a MUST for your next trip, whether it’s a two-week-long journey or a quick overnight to Southern Cali. If you’re not sure what else to pack, may we suggest cute sandals to match your summer dresses and a punny beach cover-up for lounging at the pool? ;)

– patterned and solid fabric

– clear pouches

– sewing machine

– sewing pins

Instructions:

1. Cut 2 rectangles out of canvas that measure 10 x 13 inches. Then cut one rectangle that measure 11 x 15 inches out of canvas and another out of your patterned fabric.

2. Find the center of your 11 x 15-inch canvas rectangle and then pin on your desired pouch. Sew onto the canvas.

3. Use your solid colored fabric to create a pocket and loops for necklaces to hag from. Sew onto the canvas.

4. Once you have prepared the desired jewelry holders on your canvas, pin to the patterned fabric with the pockets (good side) facing in.

5. Sew around 3/4 of the rectangle, then turn right-side out and sew up the hole.

6. Do this same process for the 10 x 13-inch rectangles. Attach your desired pockets and sew.

7. Cut a piece of paracord and sew to the front side (patterned) of your rectangle.

8. Pin the center line of the smaller rectangle to the center line of the larger rectangle. Then sew down this line.

9. Fill with your favorite jewelry and head off to your tropical vacay!

Fire up that sewing machine, and let’s get started.

You will need canvas and a fun patterned fabric to complete this DIY. Cut two canvas rectangles that measure 10 x 13 inches, one canvas rectangle that measures 11 x 15 inches and one pattern rectangle that measures 11 x 15 inches.

Since we’re making a travel jewelry book, find the center of each sized rectangle. This will make it easier for you to center your pieces on your “page.”

Pin your pouch to the canvas page and sew. We used fun neon thread to amp up the neutral canvas.

Use your solid colored fabric to add loops and pockets to your canvas page. You’ll want to create pieces that are about 8 inches wide. When pinning, add extra space so your jewelry can slide in.

Pin your canvas to the patterned fabric. Make sure to pin good sides facing in. Sew 3/4 of the way around and then turn right side-out and sew closed.

Follow the same process for the 10 x 13-inch piece of canvas. Sew your desired add-ons to the inside page.

Pin the center of the pages together and then sew. You’re almost ready for vacation.

Cut a long piece of paracord, pin and sew onto the patterned side of the rectangle.

Check it out! A four-page jewelry-holding slice of heaven.

When choosing your color palette, try to use brights that will pop and complement each other.

Pop in your jewelry. Canvas is a great material to hold your earrings. Stick the posts through the canvas and attach the back on the other side. The neutral color makes the earrings pop and easy to spot.

Attach your bracelets to the sewn loops. Wait — is that a Katy Perry fast food charm bracelet? Yes. Yes it is.

The clear pouches are perfect for extra long necklaces that could get tangled.

The loops paired with the bottom pouch will keep delicate chains separated and not tangled when traveling. Total win!

All packed and ready to go!

Drawstring 8-pocket jewelry pouch.

Your favorite shiny beads and baubles deserve to come along on vacation too. But figuring out how to pack them, without opening your suitcase upon arrival to find a tangled mess, is always a challenge. Our traveling jewelry pouch is up to the task. It has eight, wedge-shaped pockets to hold necklaces, earrings, rings, and watches. The pouch gathers up with a drawstring, safely enclosing the pockets in an upright position. 

• ½ yard EACH of TWO 44″+ wide quilting weight cotton fabrics in coordinating prints NOTE: As mentioned above, if you cut carefully, ½ yard of each print will yield TWO matching pouches.
• Scrap of lightweight batting for center circle
• 2 yards of ⅛” satin rattail cording ; this is available in a rainbow of colors
• All purpose thread to match fabric
• See-through ruler
• Seam ripper
• Fabric marker, pen, or tailor’s chalk
• Iron and ironing board
• Scissors or rotary cutter and mat
• Straight pins
• Hand sewing needle
• Small safety pin

Getting Started and Pattern Download

• Download and print FOUR copies of the 8½” x 11″ pattern sheet: Pouch Template . IMPORTANT:  This pattern is ONE 8½” x 11″ sheet. You must print the PDF file at 100%. DO NOT SCALE to fit the page. There is a guide rule on the page so you can confirm your final printout is to scale. Print horizontally (landscape).
• Cut out all four wedge pieces along the solid lines. Following the diagram on the sheet, tape the four wedges together to form a circle. Butt together your cut pieces and tape; do NOT overlap.
• The solid outside line is your cut line for the large circles. The solid inner line is the cut line for the smaller circles. And, the assembly diagram circle itself should be cut out and used as a pattern to cut the batting circle. NOTE: If you want, you could print EIGHT copies of the template, tape them together into two circle patterns, use one at full size and cut the other one down to the smaller size. Then you could retain both patterns (along with one small circle pattern) in your files for later use.
• Use the full circle pattern to cut ONE large circle from EACH of the two print fabrics.
• Use the trimmed, smaller circle pattern to cut ONE smaller circle from EACH of the two print fabrics.

At Your Sewing Machine & Ironing Board

• Carefully open up the buttonhole with your seam ripper.
• Find the small circle that will form the interior of your pockets. Place it wrong side up on your work surface and center the batting circle on it.

• Using a ¼” seam allowance , stitch both circle-pairs together, leaving a 1-2″ opening for turning. NOTE: When stitching in a circle, it can be a bit of a challenge to keep your seam allowance even and your curve smooth. Our best tips are to go slowly and to stop now and then, with your needle in the down position, lift up the presser foot, and slightly adjust your fabric to keep your seam allowance true. The smaller the circle, the more often you may need to stop and adjust. We also used a Janome Quarter Inch foot  to help keep the seam allowance on track. Shortening the stitch length slightly can also help keep curves smooth.

• Press well, folding in and pressing the raw edges of the opening so they are flush with the sewn seam .
• Pin this opening closed. Thread a hand sewing needle with thread to match the fabric and  slip stitch to close.

Mark and make the interior pockets

• Place your large circle exterior side down on your work surface. Place the smaller pocket circle interior side up (so you can see your markings) centered and on top of the first circle. Pin in place through both layers.

• Remove the sewn circles from the machine, press to insure both layers remain nice and flat, and adjust the pins as necessary to hold the layers together. Remove any visible basting stitches.

Create the drawstring channel

• You need to create two circular seams for your drawstring channel. These two seams should align top and bottom with the original buttonhole you made way back at the beginning.

• Attach a small safety pin to one end of the rattail satin cord.

• Make sure your cord tails are long enough to wrap around the pouch several times and make a generous bow. Trim away any excess, then make a small knot at the end of each tail.

Pattern Testing Results

I gave the testing team a tight deadline on this one because I knew it would make such a great Christmas present and wanted to make sure you all had time to sew it.  As always, they rise to the challenge and created some pretty bags and made sure this pattern is spot on!

Louise – I liked it. Lots of compartments to keep things separate. Like the chain holder. Hopefully, will keep necklaces from knotting.   I used a Pellon fusible lightweight interfacing and a Pellon fusible fleece. They worked well.

Sarah – the only thing that held me up with this pattern was how great it was.  Every time I completed a section I had to get out some jewelry and start adding it in!

Donna at Stitched by Donna – I love the pattern.  I added topstitching to the flap on my purse.  For the interfacing, I used  Pellon Shape-Flex SF101 – woven interfacing, and Pellon Fusible Interfacing .   I used Pellon sew-in heavyweight stiff interfacing instead of cardboard for the earring holder, so the purse can be washable. I then punched holes with a regular hole puncher on the interfacing only before placing it in the stud holder.

Linda –  Great pattern. Easy to put together. Unfortunately, I did not have a very fancy fabric to test with but next time I will try it with one.   I loved the idea of making a jewelry organizer. This one has a lot of pockets and has a place for everything, rings, earring, chain. I liked the zipper pocket to make things more secure. However once closed it's not too big to get into your luggage and things stay in place. I loved the way it looks like a purse once closed making it pretty and feminine.   

For the interfacing, I used Pellon 911FF. I loved this interfacing for cotton. I have used it in almost all my bags. For the fleece,  it was not fusible so I used HeatnBond Lite to fuse it to the fabric. It worked great.

Sara at Made by Sara – It is a lovely bag! I love it! Although I didn't make the chain holders and added a larger ring holder for mine. I think you have thought about all the necessary pockets and closures to keep everything neat and safe.  For the earring holder, I used a clear vinyl as a liner instead of a card to make it washable.

Crystal –  this is a great idea, I like that there is a place for nearly every type of jewelry… the satin look is pretty. I was curious about the tie option and how or if it was functional – it looks pretty but its really optional I think. Mine stays closed just fine with the magnetic closure. I used baby snaps, and Kam snaps (prefer to avoid hand sewing of snaps).  When I make this again, I'll use one layer of fleece lining, and one layer of heavy craft fusible for added stiffness.  And it can easily be adapted to suit your own jewelry – for my next one I'll make those chain loops longer and use them for bangles and big hoop earrings.

A BIG Thank you to everyone who helped with the pattern testing on this one at such short notice and at such a busy time of year.

I have fell in love with this jewelry bag! I have searched and searched Pinterest for the right one and ran across yours!! I love everything about it! Is there any way to get the free pattern for this?? It would be the perfect bag!! Thank You for sharing!!!

I’m confused about the instruction of Pattern Piece A. It says to cut 2x fusible interfacing and 2x fusible fleece. However, in both the sewing instructions and video tuturial, there is no mention to use BOTH the interfacing and fleece on Piece A. Should it be one or the other depending on fabric weight?

Hi Lara, the answer to your question is on page 3 and 4. Please have another look.

Thank you for the reply. Next problem: The fusible fleece is not adhering to the fusible interfacing which is already applied to the fabric (Piece A). Any advice welcomed. I’m trying to make 5 of these by Tuesday morning (Christmas presents).

HI Lara, try not use steam when ironing the interfacing and see if that does the trick. Sprayable fabric glue would be my next move if the dry iron does not work.

I cannot find where to download this for free. Thank you for your time.

HI, Sally, it is probably because the link has expired, they are only good for 24 hours.

thank you for such a cute little purse…

Lovely idea! Thanks!

What Fabric to Use for a Jewelry Organizer

Finished size, diy jewelry organizer - sewing steps.

• How Do I Get the Diy Jewelry Organizer pattern for FREE?

WANT A PRINTABLE COPY OF THE WHOLE TUTORIAL?

I have a confession to make: I hardly ever take my jewelry with me on vacation. Why? Because I always get a tangled mess trying to keep them in my old cosmetic pouch . While I have a pretty much well-working solution for necklace storage in my home ( THIS super simple necklace hanger - works perfectly!), I honestly needed a sound travel-proof jewelry storage solution.

Now I'm showing off what I made, and showing you how to make a jewelry organizer for necklaces and earrings. You know, just in case you need one. Or know someone who'd love this cute circular pouch as a gift.

Now back to sewing your new, homemade diy jewelry holder. So, how do you make a travel jewelry pouch?

You know I love quilting cotton. Not just because it's available in all the prints and colors I can imagine, but also because it's not stretchy, it's lightweight and durable enough for travel.

But canvas, linen, or microfiber work great too, as they are all sturdy and breathable. Worried about humidity? Go for a water-resistant fabric!

And how much fabric do you need? You only need two fat quarters of fabric and 2 yards of cord.

• a padded center storage area to stash larger pieces of jewelry, such as watches and bracelets,
• eight inner pockets provide convenient storage for rings and smaller items
• the satin cord cinches the top closed and prevents tangling
• cuteness factor plus easier closure: hexie pulls!

Oh, and this is what the inside looks like when you pull on those drawstrings! Beautiful tiny pockets just pop out from a previously flat piece of fabric:

What I also love about this diy jewelry holder is the size. So handy - it's something like a 5" ball, you can safely throw it into your purse and carry it anywhere with you!

Finished size: closed 5" x 5" x 6" (13 x 13 x 15 cm), open flat: 12" (30cm)

But first, I'd like to mention that this pattern has been tested by my trusted pattern testers, so make sure to check out their beautiful jewelry organizers too - some of their photos are in the shop .

Now, let me give you a full supplies list so you've got everything ready to start:

• two fat quarters of quilting fabric
• a 3" scrap piece of fusible fleece
• 2.2 yards or 2 meters of ⅛"-width (3mm) satin cording
• sewing machine or needle, pins or sewing clips,
• iron, scissors, or rotary cutter plus cutting mat (I use  this one by Olfa )
• the  free template

Shop my personal favorite sewing supplies on Amazon HERE.

Step 1 - Get the pattern

Join our mailing list and get the jewelry organizer pattern emailed to you:

Step 2 - Print the pattern and Cut The Fabric

Print it out at no scaling (=100% size) and tape the paper pieces where necessary. Then cut out the fabric pieces:

• 2 large circles (Pattern Piece #1)
• 2 smaller circles (Pattern Piece #2)
• 1 piece of fusible fleece (Pattern Piece #3)
• 4 squares the size of 3" (7.5 cm) for hexies (optional, no pattern piece)

Step 3 - Make 2 buttonholes

Once you've cut out the 2 large circle pieces (from pattern piece #1), grab the one that's planned to become the outer and make 2 buttonholes on opposite sides of the circle, each the size of half an inch, and placed between 1 ¾" and 2 ¼" (4.5 and 5.7cm) away from the outer edge. See image below:

Use a buttonhole foot if you have one, it makes it so easy to sew buttonholes! Also, a useful tip: when you've finished sewing the buttonhole and you're ready to cut the slit using your seam ripper, place a pin to the spot where the slit should end - this way, you won't cut too far! See photo below:

BONUS TIP: Alternative To Buttonholes

If you aren't a fan of sewing buttonholes you'll love what Ulrike (find her on Etsy here ) suggested when pattern testing: use 2 grommets instead - here's how to add grommets the easy way. Eyelets are an option too.

Please note:

• before starting, fuse a 1" square piece of strong interfacing on the back side of the fabric where a grommet or an eyelet will be installed
• grommet's or eyelet's outer diameter must be a bit smaller than ½" , or it won't fit into the channel.
• Caution when sewing: make sure the needle never runs into the grommet/eyelet , or it will break!

Step 4 - sew the large piece

We're still with pattern piece #1 - Now it's time to stitch the two large circles together: Place the two large circle pieces RST and stitch around using a ¼" (7mm) seam allowance and make sure to leave a 2" (5cm) gap for turning. The arrows in the photo below show where the two buttonholes are placed. (SAME POSITION FOR EYELETS, NOT PICTURED)

Step 5 - Turn Right side out

Use pinking shears to trim the edges or make small notches all around the circle for easier turning. (I really, really love using pinking shears here, it goes so much faster!) Do not trim on the gap for turning.

Step 6 - Edgestitch around

Once turned right-side-out, press and then edgestitch all the way around. The seam will also close the gap for turning.

Step 7 - Make Pockets

Start working on pattern piece #2, the Pocket. First, apply the small 3-inch circle of fusible fleece (#3) to the backside of what you want to become the pocket lining (not visible!).

Step 8 - Stitch The Pocket Circles

Place the two pocket pieces RST and stitch around using a ¼" (7mm) seam allowance and make sure to leave a 2" (5cm) gap for turning.

Step 9 - Turn right Side out

Press to set the seam and trim the edge using pinking shears (do not trim on the gap for turning), turn right-side-out, press and edgestitch, just like you did with the larger circles.

TIP: Pressing makes the edge stitching so much easier!

Step 10 - Trace And Sew Slip Pockets

• Use pattern pieces #3 and #2 to trace the central 3" circle and the dividers onto the sewn pocket piece (#2).
• Center the pocket circle on the large (shell) circle, like this: large circle (#1) with LINING facing UP and the pocket circle (#2) with the LINING facing DOWN. (In other words, the inside of the larger circle and the inside of the smaller circle should be touching.)
• Topstitch through ALL the layers - both the small center circle and all straight pocket dividers, as marked by the blue lines in the photo below:

Step 11 - Make A Casing For the Cording

Remember the two buttonholes you made when starting the project? These are on the outer side of the large circle. Now, we'll make the casing - two circular seams that will align with the buttonholes - see the two red circles in the below photo.

• The buttonholes will end up between the two seams, and these seams will just barely touch the edges of the buttonholes.
• The INNER LINE of stitching will be super close to the edge of the smaller circle - just make sure not to stitch over it. If you love measuring, it should be exactly 2" (5.1cm) away from the finished edge of the large circle. This is the place where the buttonhole edge is.
• The OUTER LINE of stitching should be ½" (1.3cm) away from the inner line . Measuring from the outer edge, it's 1 ½" (3.8cm) from the large circle's outer edge.

IMPORTANT: the two seams should be ½" (1.3cm) apart , as the drawstring casing needs to be exactly this width. Here's a detailed view of the two casing lines on the inner side of the jewelry pouch pattern:

...and on the outside. The two stitching lines 'encase' the buttonholes, and voila! the drawstring casing is finalized.

Step 12 - Insert the cording

Now we'll need to insert the two 40" (1m) satin cords into the casing. Here's how:

• Attach your first cord to a safety pin and guide it through one buttonhole opening all the way around. Yep, you've read that right, both cord tails will peek out from the SAME buttonhole.
• Guide the other cord through the other buttonhole, all the way around. See below:

Step 13 - Add Drawstring Pulls

Tie off a knot on each end of the drawstring. You've finished your very own travel jewelry case - unless you want your drawstring pulls to be extra cute. I added two cute hexie pulls to make this drawstring jewelry bag even easier to use. Perfect!

Here is how to baste the hexies , my latest tutorial.

If you want a detailed step-by-step on how to insert these pretty hexie pulls , I've got you covered, too:

Check out the detailed how-to for adding hexie drawstring pulls - TUTORIAL HERE .

And, finished! You've just made a beautiful diy jewelry organizer. Congrats!

Make sure to check out the photos in the shop too , there are more beautiful jewelry organizers sewn by pattern testers!

Safely store all your jewelry in separate pockets while traveling to prevent tangling in this adorable pouch! Perfect for carrying cosmetics too, and adding a stylish touch to your overnight travel routine. One of the best diy jewelry organizer ideas if you ask me!

So much cuter than I thought it would be. So much so that when I shared pictures with family they all wanted one. I would recommend the interfacing on one of each sized circles. It really does make a difference. Makes it look very professional..This is a very easy to follow tutorial, a beginner sewer will have not problem following the very well written tutorial.

Used colored twine I had at home that matched the fabrics. Not the really scratchy type, but a silkier one. I think it came from a dollar store. Thanks!

You are so right, and yours is beautiful! I made these as gifts years ago with silver cloth as the lining. It prevents tarnish of silver jewelry and other metals. I store my silver necklaces in an extra silver cloth pouch with pockets for silverware that I have had for over 50 years. No tarnish ever happens! 😀 It can be bought by the yard. It is a nice, very soft flannel that is treated to protect fine silver, and perfect for jewelry. Look for Pacific Silver Cloth or Hagerty. It is expensive, but it is 58 inches wide and goes a long way in small projects. You can line a drawer with it, too. It is always seen inside silver chests because it works so well. I guarantee: a jewelry pouch made with it will become a cherished heirloom! (Great bridal shower gift she won’t receive duplicates of!). You’re welcome. Love, Grandma, LOL! 😆

Barbara hi, this is an awesome idea! Thank you for dropping by, happy to hear from you. xoxo,

Great idea! One way to make it even better would be to use cross stitch fabric (aida cloth) so that you can secure your ear rings directly on the fabric so they don't fall out if the bag gets turned upside down.

what a great idea! I think I have some of the aida cloth somewhere at the bottom of my stash...I'm terrible with cross-stitch so this might be a way better use of it!

Komsomolskaya metro station looks like a museum. It has vaulted ceilings and baroque decor.

Hidden underground, in the heart of Moscow, are historical and architectural treasures of Russia. These are Soviet-era creations – the metro stations of Moscow.

Our guide Maria introduced these elaborate metro stations as “the palaces for the people.” Built between 1937 and 1955, each station holds its own history and stories. Stalin had the idea of building beautiful underground spaces that the masses could enjoy. They would look like museums, art centers, concert halls, palaces and churches. Each would have a different theme. None would be alike.

The two-hour private tour was with a former Intourist tour guide named Maria. Maria lived in Moscow all her life and through the communist era of 60s to 90s. She has been a tour guide for more than 30 years. Being in her 60s, she moved rather quickly for her age. We traveled and crammed with Maria and other Muscovites on the metro to visit 10 different metro stations.

Moscow subways are very clean

To Maria, every street, metro and building told a story. I couldn’t keep up with her stories. I don’t remember most of what she said because I was just thrilled being in Moscow.   Added to that, she spilled out so many Russian words and names, which to one who can’t read Cyrillic, sounded so foreign and could be easily forgotten.

The metro tour was the first part of our all day tour of Moscow with Maria. Here are the stations we visited:

1. Komsomolskaya Metro Station  is the most beautiful of them all. Painted yellow and decorated with chandeliers, gold leaves and semi precious stones, the station looks like a stately museum. And possibly decorated like a palace. I saw Komsomolskaya first, before the rest of the stations upon arrival in Moscow by train from St. Petersburg.

2. Revolution Square Metro Station (Ploshchad Revolyutsii) has marble arches and 72 bronze sculptures designed by Alexey Dushkin. The marble arches are flanked by the bronze sculptures. If you look closely you will see passersby touching the bronze dog's nose. Legend has it that good luck comes to those who touch the dog's nose.

3. Arbatskaya Metro Station served as a shelter during the Soviet-era. It is one of the largest and the deepest metro stations in Moscow.

4. Biblioteka Imeni Lenina Metro Station was built in 1935 and named after the Russian State Library. It is located near the library and has a big mosaic portrait of Lenin and yellow ceramic tiles on the track walls.

5. Kievskaya Metro Station was one of the first to be completed in Moscow. Named after the capital city of Ukraine by Kiev-born, Nikita Khruschev, Stalin's successor.

6. Novoslobodskaya Metro Station  was built in 1952. It has 32 stained glass murals with brass borders.

7. Kurskaya Metro Station was one of the first few to be built in Moscow in 1938. It has ceiling panels and artwork showing Soviet leadership, Soviet lifestyle and political power. It has a dome with patriotic slogans decorated with red stars representing the Soviet's World War II Hall of Fame. Kurskaya Metro Station is a must-visit station in Moscow.

8. Mayakovskaya Metro Station built in 1938. It was named after Russian poet Vladmir Mayakovsky. This is one of the most beautiful metro stations in the world with 34 mosaics painted by Alexander Deyneka.

9. Belorusskaya Metro Station is named after the people of Belarus. In the picture below, there are statues of 3 members of the Partisan Resistance in Belarus during World War II. The statues were sculpted by Sergei Orlov, S. Rabinovich and I. Slonim.

10. Teatralnaya Metro Station (Theatre Metro Station) is located near the Bolshoi Theatre.
