    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 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 ❤

    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 for the tutorial! Very helpful. Can the happy planner punch be used instead of the crocodile punch? Or does it mess it up?

    • @squairdplans
      @squairdplans  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      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.
