Here's a super-quick, super-easy way to make an elegant gift pouch for earrings or other small jewelry. No sewing needed!

No-sew ribbon pouch made by Noreen Doll,
made to hold a 2" x 2" earring card.

Step 1: From a roll of 2.5" wide wire-edged ribbon (available at fabric or craft stores), cut a 7"-long piece.

Step 2: Fold each end of your 7" piece under about 3/8" to make a nicely finished edge.

Step 3: Fold about 2-1/4" of the bottom end of your ribbon up toward the middle.

Step 4: Fold about 1-1/2" of the top of the ribbon down toward the middle. Now you have a little matchbook-shaped pouch.

Step 5: Gently pinch the open sides of the pouch together. The wire edges of the ribbon actually hold the pouch together quite well. Put earrings (or whatever) into your new little no-sew ribbon jewelry pouch.

I bought a 30-foot roll of this wire-edged ribbon on clearance after Christmas (regularly $5.99 per roll, on sale for $1.50).

A 30-foot roll of ribbon will make about 51 of pouches of this size. At regular price, that's about 12 cents per pouch. At the clearance price, it's about 3 cents per pouch.

For an embellished and larger version of this project, be sure to see the fantasy jewelry pouches by Carolina of NeoVamp.

She's taken this project to a gorgeous new level!
