Rubber Pen Organiser Wraps Around Notebooks

This neat rubber strap keeps pens organized and notebooks closed

I don’t think I have ever seen a commercial product as ripe for home-made copying as the Journal Bandolier. Made by Etsy-er CleverHands in San Francisco, the bandolier is a strap that stretches around your notebook (the paper kind) and has loops and hoops for pens and pencils.

Why would it be so great to make yourself? Because it uses old bike inner tubes and a strip of elastic, sewn together. The elastic puts the “band” in bandolier, and the rubber tube makes the pen-holding loops. The whole thing slides over a Moleskine or similar sized notebook. If you were making your own, you could also include a Velcro connection for taking it on and off more easily.

If you’re not up to making your own, or you just don’t want to go out and buy an expensive sewing machine just to put a strap on your journal, then you can buy one for $17. Also available in other fabrics.
