I’m so glad you’re here.
You’re looking for the DIY Period Kit for School, right? The one that fits in a SECRET Compartment Notebook?
I’m here to show you exactly how to make it, but before I share it, you absolutely must know a few things…
Periods are scary for girls at school. I want to make sure that you moms and dads out there are ready to help your daughter SUCCEED with her period at school. Now that you are here, I want your DIY secret compartment notebook to look great. But I also want to make sure you’re ready to help your daughter survive her cycle in a comfortable, dignified way!
If you’re ready to:
- Pamper your daughter during her period
- Help your daughter be prepared for her period no matter what
- Avoid getting mid-day phone calls about “accidents” at school
- Carry a stylish notebook cover that “does it all”
And best of all help your daughter feel confident about her period, I've got your back!
Here is what you MUST know to get your daughter prepped for handling her period any day, anywhere but ESPECIALLY at school…
This is great! I love the’anti-theft’ story! I will be sharing this with my niece who is 13…
This is such a great idea and I love how it looks. I am going to share the idea with my niece ~ she loves to create so this will perfect for her (and practical, too!).
Thanks so much!
Very nice tutorial,love it
OH my gosh that anti-theft device story is hilarious! i’m going to have to use that next time I drive in a super busy, crime-ridden city. Other than that, your secret compartment notebook is absolutely GORGEOUS and this is an amazing work of art! [client]
Thanks so much!!!
Super clever and so relevant. Those young girls are so easily embarrashed. This pretty cover is both deluxe and practical. Thanks Jen for sharing it with us. Always so happy to see your contributions in the SHARE IT party. See you again next Sat/Sun. Have a great week, Rose
That secret compartment is awesome, I love the beautiful wrapped design. What a story, hilarious!
Thank you so much!
I think it’s a neat idea except that when I was in public AND private school, if I was in class and needed to go change my pad or tampon I wasn’t allowed to bring things like this to the restroom with me. I had to discreetly (which always failed because the wrappers are loud not to mention the shuffling through my booksack) put what I needed in my pocket because we weren’t allowed to bring anything with us. I’m only 19 so it wasn’t all that long ago that I was in school.
That sounds terrible. Was the school in denial that girls have periods?!
I don’t think that that’s it. It’s that schools are constantly wary that children are trying to skip class and are up to no good. If they bring things to the restroom with them then there’s the idea that they are going to the restroom to get out of class and cause mischief instead of because they actually need to go to the restroom. No girl will outright say to a teacher in front of a class hey I’m on my period can I go to the restroom so teachers are unaware of the students motives. In today’s society children are always up to no good especially if they want to leave class.
I have a friend who had a teacher in high school, a little over 10 years ago for her, and he refused to let her go to the bathroom. She knew that she’d started her period, and she has a pretty heavy flow. By the time the class was over, she had bled through both her underwear and her pants. There was blood all over the seat. After that, he started letting girls go to the bathroom in his class.
That is horrible!
This looks so neat, I love the colors, and the clasp is really pretty. Thanks for posting. Hello from Whimsy Wednesdays.
Thanks so much!
Love it! I wish I thought of this years ago when my daughter was in school. This journal cover can also be used for the office !
This is amazing! You have a great creativity! But it is a lot of sewing and I don’t think I would have time for that! Do you sell them? It’ll be amazing if you did!
Thank you for stopping by to share your secret compartment notebook cover this week, it is darling and I love the color and charm!! I hope you have a great weekend!

This is such a great idea! It can be a hard thing for a young girl and having something like this would be wonderful! Thanks for sharing with SYC.
hugs,

Such a great idea! And so nice combination, u r really handy. It is amazing!!! 🙂
Great for a first sewing project for girls!
Great first sewing project for a group of girls!
For just the reason you stated “No purse or backpack” in any classroom for my twin girls, I made pencil cases with pockets. I also like your idea and will pass it on to other mothers of young girls.
Awesome!!!
How big is the notebook supposed to be. I am twelve and I would really like to make this for me. I have not started my period yet but it would be good just in case.
Hello, It can be as big as you like – you cut the fabric to the size to fit the notebook, about 1″ bigger all the way around. So if the notebook is open and it measure 9″ tall and 14″ wide, cut the fabric to 11″ tall and 16″ wide.
I absolutely love this idea. I have been searching like the whole web to find this! Thank you so much.
Awesome! I am sharing a no-sew version next month so I hope you will follow me on social media (Facebook is best at facebook.com/jenniferppriestblog) so you’ll get notified when I do. Also, you can sign up for my newsletter to get updates as well.
What size notebook did you use for this?
The one that is half an 8.5×11 paper – it’s like half a standard notebook 🙂
I am thinking about making this for myself this summer, for when I go back to school in the fall.
I’m a trans boy, so while my school let’s girls being bags to the bathroom it’s harder for me cause of how they think cause if I’m want to be a boy i should be able to do what the girls in my school can, even though we both have periods.
So this can actually help me a lot. So thanks for this, and I might even share it with the other trans students that i know to help them as well.
Yeah you can totally make it! The great thing about making it yourself is you can customize it how you want too. I’d love to see a photo when you make it 🙂
