How to Make a Folder and Writing Board for your Travelers Notebook

Hello, Butterflies

Today I would like to share a cheap way to make your own folder and writing board for your Travelers Notebook.

I use an A5 Travelers Notebook so will showing the process but I will not be sharing measurements as you will need to measure your own TN to make the size that will fit yours.

So I will start off showing you how to make the folder. This Folder I have made out of printer paper. I have also made one out of 32pound printer paper and to me, I could not tell the difference between the paper after assembling them.

Supplies Need for Paper Folder:

• 5 sheets of printer paper 
• Paper cutter or Scissors
• All Purpose Glue Stick
• Ruler 
• Pencil

The first step you will need to do is to glue two of the paper together. 

Well, you're letting the paper dry, you will need to start making out the shape of the pocket on one of the black paper.

When you measure out your pocket you will need to add an inch to the bottom and long side so that you will have a section to be able to glue the pocket to the backing. 

At the fold on the long side and bottom, you will need to cut a small section out so the paper will fold over the edge easily.

Place the pockets on the sides of your paper gluing the flap for the long side to the back side of the paper. The flap should wrap around the edge of the paper when putting it together. You will also need to do this to the bottom flap as well. Let the glue dry, will you find a design that you like to be on the back side of the folder. 

After you have glued all the flaps down you find that its just white paper and you want to cover the flaps and have a design on the outside of your folder. On the last sheet of paper print out your design. It's time to glue your design sheet to the back side of your folder to give it a nice look and to cover the flaps you glued. 

After the glued has dried now its time to fold the folder. I use a credit card down the fold to make it crips. 

Woohoo Your Done! This project took me 20 minutes to complete.

Supplies Need for Writing Board:

• Composition notebook used or ok to cut up
• Paper cutter or Scissors
• All Purpose Glue Stick
• Ruler 
• Pencil
• Washi tape
• 1 sheet of printer paper

This project will take 10 to 20 minutes to complete.

You will need to measure your TN for the size you would like to make. 

The first thing you will need to do is cut the front or back cover off the notebook, you will only need one unless the cover of you composition notebook is thin.

Now its time to take your printer paper and glue it to one side of the composition cover. Make sure to cut the paper the same size of the cover. Let it Dry. 

Flip the cover over to the side that still looks like the composition book. Now you need to pick out the washi tape you would like the backside to look like. At this point, you can pick how you like the washi tape to lay. You can make a pattern you can just run lines of it.

After removing all the extra washi tape YOUR DONE!

At this point, you can add other little things like sticky notes or sticky flags or clear sticky pocket. 

I add my writing board as a page marker in my planner. 

I hope you enjoyed seeing how you can make a Paper Folder and Writing Board for a very low cost.

Thank you for Stopping in.

Planner Hacks & Tips

Hello, Butterflies

Over the year I have written posts on planner hacks so today I want to add them all to one post and share some new hacks with you.

Sticky Notes:

Not sure you would call this a hack but for today I will be. Do you have a spread that you are redrawing and find that it's time-consuming?  Then draw it once and use sticky notes when you need to change things up.  Can use for a Month Meal Plan, Project Planning, and so many other spreads.

How I Label My Crayola Supertips Marker

Hello, Butterflies

Have you ever want to label your Crayola Super Tips? 

Did you ever want a way to have a color chart of your Crayola Super Tips? 

Will I wanted the same things, started hunted around the internet for a solution.  I ran across a video on youtube that answered the question I was looking for! It's by Linda Wright her channel LindalooEnterprise. Check out Linda video Free Color Chart For Crayola Super Tips.

She comes up with a way to be able to label your marker and to have your own blank color chart: Set of 50 markers.  She has made a free download of the Color Chart  Crayola Super Tips Blank Color Chart Download. 

I want to share Linda's way on how she labels and have a color chart for her Crayola Super Tips. 

I followed her video for the markers

With the way, Linda labels the marker make it easier to use in my Bujo. When I draw up a layout and I use my Crayola Super Tips at the bottom of the page I will place the Letter and Number at the bottom of the page. 

V= Violet    1,2,3,4,5

P= Pink       1,2,3,4,5

R= Red       1,2,3,4

O= Orange  1,2,3,4

Y= Yellow   1,2,3

G= Green   1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9

A= Aqua    1,2,3,4,5,6

B= Blue      1,2,3,4,5

T= Tan       1,2,3,4,5

N= Neutral  1,2,3

I used a permanent marker to mark the letter and number at the bottom of each marker. The Color Chart sheet also helps to see the colors each of the marker come out on paper.

I hope this and Linda video will help you to label your Crayola Super Tips Marker.

Making Easy Bookmarks for Traveler's Notebook!

Hello Butterflies,

Today I want to go over how you can make bookmarks for your Traveler's Notebooks, Bullet Journals or any other Books you need to mark a page. These bookmarks are pretty easy to make and only takes about 20 mins to make. 

The reason I make these bookmarks instead of the ribbon on a paper clip, I personally don't like the look of the paperclip bookmark. Don't get me wrong I do like the look on other TN. just not this one.

Let's get the supplies you will need for this project.

Supplies Need :

• Lamination Machine (Optional)
• Laminating Pouches (Optional)
• Scissors
• X- Acto Knife
• Pencil
• Glue
• Ruler
• Cutting Mat or Board
• Cardstock or Back of Spiral Notebook
• Paper with Design You Like

Now that you have all your supplies together it's time to decide what shape you want your bookmark. 

For the bookmark, I used the back page of an old spiral notebook. Lay out your cardstock draw the shape of your bookmark and cut it out. You will also need to draw and cut out the same shape on the design paper you have chosen to cover your bookmark.  Glue them together, you will also need to draw out the lines in a large U shape on the bookmark.  You will need to pick the top and bottom of the bookmark before drawing out the U. You will need the bottom of the U to be at the bottom of the bookmark. 

This is Optional if you would like your bookmarks laminated or not. If you want to laminate do it before you cut the U shape out of the bookmark.

If you don't want to laminate the bookmark, then go ahead and cut the U shape out in the bookmark, this is up to you on how high you want the cut up to the top of your bookmark. The higher the line the closer the bookmark will set on the page you are marking. 

So when you are done cutting the U out now you have a bookmark! 

You can customize your bookmarks to fix your style in many was you can add labels, sticker or just leave them blank. It's your make them look how you want! 

Here are what my bookmarks look like.

The plan looking bookmark is the one I use to mark my daily spreads in my TN. It's easy to see among the other bookmarks. 

I hope you have enjoyed and walk away with some inspiration on how to make your own style of bookmarks.
