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! 👌
Oh, I'm sooo happy to hear that!! Isn't is so fun and that much more special when you make it yourself!🥹❤This leather really is great!
I had no idea I could make my OWN traveler’s notebook covers!! Thank you SO much! This is exciting!
You are so welcome! Happy to help!🙏❤️❤️
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?
Thank you so much for sharing the tips and watching! I'm currently working on a new edition zine for April. May be released in 2 weeks or so. :) Will share once it's launched!❤❤
yeah, that's what I thought, the companies are making a lot of profit on something one can make themselves so easy
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.
Interestingly, thats not how i use my staple remover. I use it for the other side of your staples haha
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
@@SeaweedKissesthats why! thanks for the tips 👌
To remove the staples go from the other side. It will release the staples.
I made a standard size inspired by you. This one ☝🏽 will by the next size for my pen & gear pocket notebook…so cute 🥰. Thanks for the tutorial!!!
Oh, yay!! Hope you enjoy using it! Thanks for watching!❤❤🥰
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I made a b6slim cover for my planner!!!
A large crop-a-dile will also make your holes in this leather. No need to buy the punch if you have one. Great DYI project.
Yes, that could certainly work as well! Thank you!
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
I just bought a piece of natural undyed vegetable-tanned leather from Joann's and came back to watch your tutorial 😆
So awesome. This video is gold. Thanks for sharing!
Great tutorial video! Do the Midori paper notebooks fit?
Hi Michelle , just received the Zine journal. Great design… and quality 🎆😊….. inspiring quotes and soothing colors !!! 😊🙃All the best Happy journaling ….enjoy the process 😉
Hello!! I’m thrilled to hear you enjoy the zine!! Yay! May you have fun filling it up and using it!! Hoping to have another edition out in April. Appreciate your kind and encouraging words! Your support means so much!❤️🙏🥹✨
About how thick is the Michaels leather that you used. Does it say in the package??
Well looks like I know what I will be doing this coming weekend.🙂
Brilliant! We don’t have a Michael’s in my town, but I can order it online 👍
Yes, you can find these online. I've included the exact brand in the description.☺☺
Shout out to you for having your question read on Goulet pens Fridays episode. I hope that was you or I am a dork.
Oh yes! That was my question!😀❤️ Thanks to that episode, I now have Drew’s fav Winter Spice ink on my radar.
Yay!! Glad to hear it.@@SeaweedKisses
Great video! Can’t wait to make one! Do you have a suggestion for an alternative to leather? Thank you! 😊
No, sorry. This is the only leather I use and prefer (due to price point, texture, and thinness). But I'm sure you can find other ones online/etsy
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.
The hammer/knife combo is so cool! You always find the coolest gadgets!
Thank you! Using whatever gets the job done😅❤
This is great, thanks ! I'm going to make covers for my Moleskines - which I had to buy after watching your videos 😄
Brilliant.
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.
I have saved your older videos of these and even bought all the supplies! Never had the courage to do it and I'm so happy you made another vid on it🥰 I also just saw the pre-order for the zine! I was sad I missed out on the first one so I ordered this one!!!
Your older video inspired me to make a TN cover for my Hobonichi weeks. This past week I disassembled a FiloFax (compact) and used black leather to make a plotter(ish) organizer. Thank you for the inspiration!
That’s great to hear!! You’re so very welcome! Happy Journalings!❤️❤️🥰
i watched your old video about this and actually made a standard and passport just last week!!! love this video - def recommend for everyone to check for deals! i got each for $5 bc of a sale :-)
That’s wonderful to hear! And what a great deal you got!!❤️❤️
This is wonderful! Thanks for showing this! 💚
You are so welcome! Happy you enjoyed it!🥰

Love it! You’re a great teacher!
Oh, you're too kind! Thank you!
Wow!
❤️😊
Hi what size is the elastic
Hello. The elastic is 1mm in diameter
@@SeaweedKisses thank you
If you do the math you pay more for all the accessories
@@torres870rem not for me. All this was under $20 using the store coupon. Standard leather covers like these retail anywhere from $50-$100, depending on make and brand😉
Great tutorial…..however by the time i bought all of this stuff…..could have bought a plain Travelers…….cheaper
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.
@@SeaweedKisses It’s a great video……actually a fairly simple device. I need a passport LITTLE bigger….will try this! Thank you!
Yes, but who makes one?
The rest are gifts, for about $9
