    I came across your older video about this & immediately ran out to Michaels after I watched it. The leather really does feel VERY nice & I love my notebook 10xs more because I made it myself 😭❤️ I’m so proud of it lol. I trimmed mine as best I could to be standard size (the height of the leather is a little shorter than traveler’s company, but it does still fit & work with the standard size inserts.) I really want to make a pocket size next, so this tutorial is perfect timing! 👌

    If you want to get fancier you can add eyelets to the holes you created and also add a personal stamped design..i.e initials, florals etc. Just FYI Hobby Lobby also has some leather supplies. Anyhow I love your you can DIY attitude and journaling content..TYFS! ❣️✨BTW will you be restocking your journal?

      I have always wondered why you would buy a Travelers leather cover when making one just like it is easy. Even for a non-leather worker. The cover actually requires no work as this video clearly demonstrates. Just a piece of leather and 15 minutes work.

      Yes, I use it that way too when removing staples from bulletin boards. But this way when trying to undo the prongs without ripping paper

    I noticed their sheets are .5 cm shorter than a standard size. (Travelers notebooks are 22cm tall 25cm wide laid flat) Does it make a difference? I really wanna try this but I don’t want my inserts looking wonky

    Great project and video! Thank you. You inspired me to pick up the supplies at Michaels. I took a chance and placed the order for local pickup at the store. They did their best in giving me the least scratched leather pieces they had in stock. I'm hopeful that the scratches can be rubbed with leather conditioner (mink oil) to minimize them. If not, I will consider it added character. Can't wait to try making these travel journals to hold watercolor paper inserts for urban sketching.

    Great work. I made a Passport Size one from an old camel colour leather notebook cover that I cut down to size. Better than paying for the expensive Traveler's Company ones. Plus I made it a bit wider than the TC ones so the inserts don't stick out the side.

      Prices will differ where you live. For me, this whole thing cost me around $25. Once you have the tools, you're really just paying for the leather, which only cost me $9.
