All you need are notebooks, colorful pipe cleaners (available online), glue, and optionally, a bookmark.

Keep all your electronic cords tidy with a handmade roll pouch. Ideal for storing chargers, earphones, USB cables, and more, this DIY project keeps your gadgets organized.
You will need leather, snap buttons, and permanent markers for personalization. Cut the leather into a rectangular shape on one end and a semi-circular or triangular shape on the other.

Your custom cord pouch is ready!

Bookmarks are always appreciated, whether for personal use or as thoughtful gifts. Making your own is quick and fun.
Choose from ribbon, button, paper clip, beaded, or yarn bookmarks. For example, braid colorful yarn and add beads for a unique beaded bookmark, or tie a ribbon around a paper clip for a simple yet charming design. This craft is perfect to do with friends!
