Many college students are on a tight budget—crafting presents for the holidays is one way to save money while making your gifts stand out among the rest. This step-by-step jewelry holder DIY is the perfect way to test out your creative genes this season.

Step One: Start with a plain 11×13 canvas board. Rip out pages from an old book no longer being used and use a sponge paintbrush and Modge Podge to attach the pages to the canvas. Make sure the pages are flat against the canvas so no bubbles are created. Let dry.

Step Two: Place the sticky letters onto the canvas to spell out a favorite quote. Make sure the letters are either to one side or directly in the middle, allowing room for jewelry to hang and not cover the quote.

Step Three: With your paint color of choice, use a different sponge paintbrush to paint the entire canvas. Make sure to get all sides and not brush too forcefully, which will cause the letters to peel off. Let dry.

Step Four: Pick desired knobs, preferably two, and decide where you want them to be placed on the canvas. Make sure the knobs are in a location that won’t cover the quote. Drill the knobs into the wood frame of the canvas. Additional cutting down of the knobs might be necessary if they protrude too far out on the back side of the canvas.

Step Five: Add super glue to the holes where the knobs are placed to secure them and to improve their performance. Peel off the sticky letters to unveil the quote written in the book text.
