    This was the simplest, most cost effective and fun tutorial I've seen. Love it. I may be late but it's my go-to for 2020 and I'm excited for 2021.

      I agree. I love this tutorial. Seeing this 7/26/2023. The other tutorials I've seen have been long and tedious. Your tutorial is simple, straight-to-the-point, and I love the black and white stripe theme.

    Beautiful planner! Another thing you can use in place of chipboard is a cereal box. When I needed chipboard shapes as a paper crafter, we just double layered a cutout from a cereal box and it matched the thickness of chipboard, perfectly! Just cover one side with white paper or some pretty patterned paper to further customize the inside. 😊

      +Kim Muhl That's a great idea Kim, thank you so much for sharing! I actually really want to try to make a hard bound cover for my disbound, but the chipboard is too thick to be punched with my Arc punch, so a cereal box may work!!

  • @penelopefp

    Yours is so cute!!!
    I bought a ream of paper meant for resumes. Nicer than plain copy paper but not as heavy as card stock. (Less than $10.) It is a dream to write on!! I printed my planner pages. Cut my "covers" and dividers out of cereal boxes, and took it to my local Office Depot. They punched it and inserted the spiral binding for about $6. I also had them punch about 30 extra pages just in case I want to print extra inserts. I can still take out the spiral and rearrange the pages if I want to. The spiral twists out easily. Then after adding pages or making change, I use a small screwdriver to line up the first holes, start inserting the coil, move the screwdriver to the 4th hole, keep inserting/twisting in the spiral, move the screwdriver down to about the 8th hole, keep twisting in the spiral, etc and voila.... in a short minute it is all put back together. For less than $10 I have enough paper to make at least 5 years' worth of planners. And at $6 a year for the hole punching and spiral, it is super affordable.

    Aloha, I know this video was in 2015. But thank you so much for keeping it up. This was the most informative video... I wanted to order a custom journal because I do daily devotions and wanted ladies to share what they had learn unto a journal. They don't have companies that will do a custom order in bulk and when they do it's not what you want. I was able to create my own inserts to fit my project and walk through your step by step. My first time watching you, I thought perfect I got it. When I end up making my first trial boy was it blessed... lool.. I had the other side on the side. I ended watching the finish part of your video again.. had a AHA moment.. and waaaalah it is finally completed. A masterpiece. Thank you and Thank you God for you.. Awesome tutorial. I will post a video soon... heheheheh.. I am so happy with the finish results

    I've been designing and printing my planners for awhile. I just been using a three ring binder however, I'm getting ready to go live in a van down by the river so printing pages isn't going to be as easy! I'm going to do a six month test to see how it works! I want to add a spiral so I don't lose pages if I drop it! I'm thinking it would also fit perfectly in the pocket in the door or behind the seat.

  • @leticiamalagon1036
    @leticiamalagon1036 6 лет назад +1

    This was inspiring! I have been thinking about making my own planner for a while now. I make printables for binders (like almost every year). I like to stay organized and I find that a lot of the planners that I find don't have what I need in one planner. It's a little frustrating at times. Recently I have been thinking about making a planner for mass production. As a student and someone who works and tries to juggle social life and life at home while also trying to stay healthy ALL AT THE SAME TIME, it is essential for me to have certain things in a planner. I want to give this to other people who are also trying to do the same. Making my own planners saved my grades and helped me stay in shape (and sane)!

    Very nice tutorial!! I am working on designing my own personal planner so I try to watch everyone's ideas. I have designed my own calendar and plan to use Paper Leather for the cover so I can use some of my artwork. I wanted to use my Cinch with chipboard covers, and I still might. I also wanted to include several of the pocket pages. I think making the pockets using a very sturdy material is something to think about. Your video was very well done and I appreciate you sharing your work.

    As for the Cinch, great tool but for the price, why on earth wouldn't they make it a bit wider/longer to accommodate such a standard project size? All that second punching wouldn't be necessary. In spite of it, your binder turned out amazing. You have a really good eye for precision work. Thanks again!

    Wow! This is super fancy :) Looks awesome and smart idea- there's always little things about planners that I wish would be different.

    Thank you for this! I’m so late 2022 😆, not even sure if you’ll read this mess but I would love to know what program and how you create the planner with? ❤️
