Decided yesterday to go back to disc bound (after about 3 years trying other things). I didn't say a word aloud. Today I realized I needed a cover. Still didn't say a word aloud. Less than an hour later, this shows up in my feed. Great tutorial. It solves my problem. I can't wait to do it. Thanks....but how did 'they' know????
That is weird, but I have heard that data collection/analysis is so advanced now that it knows our wants before we do. It’s a mad world, but so glad it led you to my channel! 😁👍
Thanks for the demonstration. I have problems getting a lot of planner supplies in germany without having to spend €€€€€ for shipping and never even thought about making these for myself.
I was about to cry thinking I had to spend 40€ on a set of dividers.
I’m all about DIY planner items so hopefully you can save some money and still make your planner all you envision. 😁👍
This was right on time! Found them today at the dollar tree and was 1.25 thank you for sharing ❤
Awesome! Just note that the dollar tree mats aren’t as sturdy as the one I showed so they might need some reinforcement (like layering in a laminated cover). Happy DIY’ing!
It’s the same brand as yours 🙂 and very sturdy, was surprised when I saw them! 😮
@@lindamoore9081 ooo, good to know! I didn’t realize dollar tree was carrying them! 😀🙌
I just made covers for my planner. I got my chopping mat from Amazon. You get 6 for 10.00. I don't have the hole punch you have so I used a standard hole punch. I used the cover that came with my planner and traced it including the holes and it came out great. Thanks for your video ❤
Glad to hear it you made the process work for you! Happy planning!
Great tip to start punching in the middle! Brilliant!
Glad it was helpful!
Great idea, I´ll have to try it out myself. Thanks.
For those tricky measurements just cut a piece of paper to size and then fold it in half. Easy peasy!
Great tip! 😁👍
OMG!! This is awesome I just made mine!! I saved so much!!! I had made my own printable covers but they weren't very strong, and this is a great way to protect them!! Thank you for this!!
Sweet! Simple and frugal are my two favorite things! 😀👍
I learn so much from you! You always have such great ideas. Blessings.
Glad to hear it Wendy! 😀
Thank you for this tutorial! I literally bought the dollar tree cutting boards yesterday to do this type of project this weekend and this was very helpful!
Awesome! Just note that the dollar tree mats aren’t as sturdy as the one I showed so they might need some reinforcement (like layering in a laminated cover). Happy DIY’ing!
Thanks for sharing this! I’ve learned so much from you & saved a lot of money! Since this one is 15” wide, I could get my two side tab dividers! Another potential option is plastic pocket folders, which come in a myriad of colors! I also love your Etsy printables. They’re crisp, use the space in a great way & allow for personalization! 😊❤️ Oh! You should add your tip about trimming the “mushroom” stems, if they’re too tight on the disks. That helped me a lot!
Thanks Diane! I’m so happy you enjoyed and got some ideas for your own setup. 😁👍
Oh yes, 1st punch in the middle, it is brilliant.
That is the best way I’ve found!
❤❤THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. I was googling bulk plastic this and that...was about to call China, lol.
LOL! Glad I could help!
I LOVE these!!!
So glad! Happy DIY'ing!
Thanks for the tutorial! Very helpful. Can the happy planner punch be used instead of the crocodile punch? Or does it mess it up?
Unfortunately the HP punches aren’t good for thick papers/materials. Anything over 3 copier paper sheets in thickness won’t even fit into the punch. The crop-a-dile tool really is needed for this thickness of material.
@@squairdplans thanks for the information! Very helpful!!
I watched an old video of something else you used the cutting mat for. Love this idea as well. I also made a box out if the scraps to store some of my discs
Nice! How did fold/glue the sides of the box?
Just found you and I love this channel! ❤ I’m on the process of making my own “happy planner”. I love all your detailed explanations. Thank you
Yay! So glad to hear it!
I Just found you ! Subscribed.
You are so detail oriented, and explain things so clearly....you inspired me and will definitely do this.
Thank you for this

I am totally doing this today.
THANK YOUUUUU
Have fun!
Love this! Awesome idea!
Thanks so much, Christine! ☺️
Thanks for showing this. I was wondering whether the puncher is that.strong and fits the 9 disc system. I want to make my own covers and now I bought it.
You’ll love it! Happy making!
I tried to use your link to the punch for Memory Keepers, but the link is broken. I googled it, but I'm not sure which one is the one you are using. Please advise.
Here you go!
We R Memory Keepers Crop-A-Dile Disc Power Punch: amzn.to/3qAMuZP or (michaels) bit.ly/2L9Tybb or (scrapbook) shrsl.com/2k5lr
Micheals sells big sheets of that paper btw
Thanks for sharing!
Do you have an affiliate link for the Crop-a-dile punch? I want to make sure I get the right one. Thanks
I do. Here you go: amzn.to/3qAMuZP
I've been making covers like this for over a year now and find that my punches sometimes don't line up evenly. You gave me 2 tips that will help for next time. TFS!
Glad I could help!
how many pages can you fit in one
Do you mean the cutter, punch or planner discs?
I was able to find the cutting mats easily, but when I attempted to punch the mat, it became stuck in my happy planner punch. HELP!
Yeah, if it is a happy planner punch, you are gonna have to tear it out. HP punches can't handle thick materials. I recommend getting this tool for any DIY discbound projects:

@@squairdplans Thanks for your help. I made a plan B version using part of a file folder.
@@karenrich9092glad you found a solution that worked in a pinch (literally) 😉
My dt doesn't have them 😢
Sad day 😢 I found some for cheap on Amazon that are basically the same. I bought them in a pack of 10 though for archiving my planners.
