There is an easier way to insert the inserts if you just attach them first with the band and then close the insert and slide it under the elastic band connected to the TN and they fit more comfortably and you can add even more that way. Hope that’s helpful! Love the way you decorate your journals.. your use of nature and simple color schemes is lovely.
I remember in high school telling my art teacher my project was in the vanilla folder...he looked at me and said, “Don’t you mean Manila folder.” Ya, 50 shades of red! 🤣
🤗 I just purchased a faux leather traveller’s notebook from Michaels. It’s part of their recollections line. It was $14.99 and came with two blank page inserts and a Manila folder. I was able to use a 50% coupon. Their other inserts ranged from 3.99 to $10
Mel Dempsey am starting my journey with TNs from Michael’s as well - want to make sure TNs are for me before investing in more expensive products - with those great 40 or 50% off coupons - the Michael’s products are incredibly affordable
I literally commented the same thing. That etsy is crazy. I'm pretty sure those plastic inserts are the same ones from michaels. It's crazy how much something can upsell for.
Also at Micheals you can get a beautiful piece of thick leather, 8.5 x11 in. With a coupon you pay $10 or so. Cut it to size and you have a midori cover. :)
And they're ripoff junk. The Midori is the real deal. I'm poor, and I still refused to settle for second rate junk, when I could get the real thing that I know will last. If it wasn't for me, I could always sell it. I have the regular size and the Passport, which is now effectively my wallet as well. I got rid of my old wallet (a Vuitton my mother gave me), and just use the Midori now. Makes my life so much easier, and a whole lot fewer worries abut someone robbing me for the LV even more than for anything inside it.
Lovely video and I have a travel journal carry it around with me all the time and don't know how to make use of it which vexes me besides being a straight guy also feel embarrassed decorating it but still love dried flowers and the washi tapes....😊
I got park of my birthday present last March through Adventure Journals, she has very good prices & packaged my stuff up beautifully. Great stay shop & enjoyed your video too! I prefer to carry fewer inserts at a time because once they get filled up they expand but it's a terrific journaling system & so customizable. I love it, been using it for about 3 years now.
Love the journal and Tfs. Love the fresh loose style you bring to lettering and water colouring; very inspiring. Can’t wait to see what you do in your art journal. Hugs from the UK, Valerie x
First time in your sweet book it’s beautiful. Love the concept This has been a blessing thank you for sharing . I love it I use to make ones so similar in the 60s with leather ties I’d cut and oh you have given-me many Ideas thank you and God bless .
peoplearescary You put the elastics on the inside of the notebook. Never on the outside. Here is a video on how to do it. th-cam.com/video/nUK-27IHwsw/w-d-xo.html
I love your style in all the different videos you produce. Your flowers are magic. Very inspiring for me to run to my watercolor sketch book. Thank you for sharing your talents.
Hi am an absolute newbie to TN journals, journals of any kind actually, the first TN I have is completely blank and I have no idea where to start. Could you suggest a video or blog to help me get started please.
The link to Adventure Journals doesn't work and Google doesn't bring them up either - have they gone belly-up in a year?? Their stuff looked really good.
FYI WATCH ramona ( on you tube) stuffing butterfly books, same travelers type notebook also utilizing elastic bands but u don't put elastic around the outside..... much more can fit in and way nearer than what you've demonstrated
Awesome video. I 💜💜💜 how you explain the details. Can you do a video of pressing flowers with an iron? Would love to learn how to dry and press flowers. Thanks for the giveaway. Would be awesome to win all this fun stuff. Happy Week! 🌺🌼🌸
@@corks4120 The inserts are inserted weirdly. Most people take two booklets and attach them with the spare elastic before putting them in the elastic on the cover. That way makes sure that they are securely in the cover and nothing is going to fall out. There is no wrong way to do it, but there is a reason that this method is the popular way to do it. You can see at 5:03 she tucks the booklets further into the elastic. That is because over time they are likely gonna slide out.
Can someone tell me where to go to find a video where someone is actually doing this correctly? And not at warp speed? I kept backing it up and when I finally finished following it step by step it really didn’t feel right and then I read the comments!!!!! Took it all apart....Looking for another video. Smh
Yes if she would’ve taken 2 seconds to look at how to add elastics it would’ve been better. Now there are people out there watching this and using this method which is actually wasting elastic and the amount of inserts you could add. It’s so simple to add two inserts to an elastic and sliding it under the existing insert. To add more there’s amazing videos where one woman fit 9 inserts in her 1 insert TN. She has the best video I’ve seen so far on how to add inserts
Hi Shayda! I'm an avid user of the bullet journal system, but I love the aesthetic of the Traveler's Notebook! I was wondering if there was a way you can keep all your inserts together after the end of the year, without having to buy a new leather case for the notebook every year, as they are quite pricey.
I asked this on a different set up video but my notebook came with an extra band that isn't attached inside the notebook and I was wondering what that was for? Is it just like an extra insert string or like a bookmark? Btw, my notebook is a different brand and all of the bands came already attached inside.
OMG！where can you find the sticker that you put on the leather's surface to store the extra note book? this is such a wonderful design. Thank you for sharing these amazing tips here! 🌺
Lovely video! Question: I purchased my first roll of washi tape and found it to be (1) VERY difficult to get it to unroll correctly without splintering off and (2) it is very thick. I was under the impression that washi tape was thinner and more see-through like yours. Mine is the Scotch brand. Are there differences in washi tape/manufacturers? Thank you for any advice on this.
SonshineLady yeah there is, scotch is more of an actual tape brand so it would be, tbh I don’t think they understand the concept of Washi tape, it’s more of a decorated tape. I recommend getting it from the dollar/pound shop or a craft store. Or even ordering it online since they’re more thinner and also tend to be cheaper.
This etsy is selling basically all of the michaels materials for a bullet journal except with a new cover for $80 when michaels has it for $25 at most for literally the same inserts. Js.
So not the way to use the elastic bands. If you want your notebooks to stay together, open easily and look neater it’s best to use the recommended method. The notebook elastic should always be in the centre of your books and the elastic bands should not go over the outside! A little disappointing to see a ‘tutorial’ style post without a clue.
Look on etsy for "fauxdori" - people making their own version of the Midori brand covers. Fake leather, fabric, you name it and you'll probably find it or be able to get it made!
Panda Cookie 23 But the most don't die because of their age or an other natural reason... a company couldn't be able to make so many of these products by waiting for the natural death of an animal.. and in most cases you won't be able to find out if this leather is from an animal which died because of a natural reason or because someone killed it. that's why I want to find an alternativ ^^
There are a number of traveler’s notebooks made with faux leather or canvas covers. I’ve found vinyl ones at Michaels and have seen both faux leather and canvas covers online. I am planning to make a few of my own covers, as well as inserts, very soon. I like the idea of using recycled materials (vinyl, denim, etc.) or using primed art canvas so that I can illustrate my own cover . There really are numerous options when you make your own! Also, if you search DIY fauxdori on TH-cam, it will bring up tutorials for making your own. Be aware though that “Fauxdori” simply means a handcrafted alternative to a Midori TN, so any material could be used to make the cover, including leather. Before buying one, you’ll want to confirm that the cover is not made using leather, animal glues, etc. You can also do a web search for faux, vegan or canvas traveler’s notebooks and you should find several options. The same goes for a search on Etsy. No animal needs to be exploited or slaughtered for our art or journaling efforts! Good luck. :)
TOO FAST! Good god! This gave me anxiety. I followed this “step by step” backing up 100 times because it was so fast, then finally finished it and it’s not done right!! Read the comments below

Anna V watch th-cam.com/video/ABkCKQLMLFo/w-d-xo.html (time 6.20) shows you how to do it :)
Wow, I totally did not know traveler's notebooks can be so customizable and complex. Thanks for the guide. It's definitely useful for a beginner.
“If you’re into flower drying like I am, you’re cool.” 😹👏👏👏 I love dried flowers too! 💖
I'm difinitely going to need a few travelers notebooks for 2020 -2021. I love how you did your traveler notebook. Well put together and organized.
I love how you can use it for all the different ways, and pressing flowers in is such a good idea.

watching this January 2020 for my TN set up

I prefer to carry fewer inserts at a time because once they get filled up they expand but it's a terrific journaling system & so customizable. I love it, been using it for about 3 years now.
I absolutely love this! I really need this. I'm so tired of trying to keep stuff in envelopes.
OMG don't put the estastic on the outside, just atach to notebooks and slude one under de Center insert
Agree, itll bend the leather in a weird way
Nice set up medthud.
This is quite informative :D thank you!

You must keep your eyes on your garden when I’m around 🦋🌹🖊🙏💙😉
Uh, you lost me when you put the elastic on the outside of the leather TN.
Where do you put it? 😯 Sorry I’m really dumb I’m quite new to this and I just wanna learn how to set it up properly :(

I really want a travelers notebook! I might get one this year this video is very helpful!
The link to the etsy shop does not exist?
Beautiful! A must have! Please share how you use the notebook in the coming weeks.

Welcome to the wonderful world of the T.N!!
FYI WATCH ramona ( on you tube) stuffing butterfly books, same travelers type notebook also utilizing elastic bands but u don't put elastic around the outside..... much more can fit in and way nearer than what you've demonstrated
So you just use rubber band things that’s a great idea I can’t get a regular string tight enough but maybe some type of rubber band would work

pam bradshaw Great request! I definitely do a flower pressing tutorial 😊
Shayda Campbell Thanks so much. I love collecting flowers and would love to dry and press them. 😍😍😍😍😍

hey Shayda this video was amazing. thank you so much
I know this was a while ago but do they still sell these things because there not on Etsy any more can someone help me find them
Where did you get the maps ? Thanks for the tips

You have a very unique pen grip!
I have a journal like this and I have been severely under utilizing it!!!
Your videos are always so beautiful 💗
Oh well, just wanted to head to Etsy and get one - but they are taking a pretty long break :( still, awesome video! Very inspiring!
Do you need this type of journal plus inserts or can you use any journal?
Love this! A great set up 👍❤️
A lot of the comments were about the elastic being placed outside. I reacted violently to it as well, but you do you I guess.
This is an amazing set up!!! What a wonderful give a way! Thank you Adventure Journal and Shayda
What frame rate were you recording in? Love the timelapsy effect
Great tutorial! The traveler journal set up was always a mystery to me.
Love to watch 😍💜
Thank you so much xx
Shayda, love your work. Another good alternative available in all sizes and with all sorts of inserts is X17.
Thats amazing and so creative! you're an expert. Thanks :)
This was very helpful 🙌 thank you ☺️
Re lindo , muy bueno
Nice as always
Where to buy this? Please?
wow i love that
I want to put together a journal but I don't know what kind to buy ;-;

$10 min for a cover and two inserts.
Michaels covers are not leather. This one is and a lot better quality.
Not just 'Japanese' papers, there are many types of papers, Asian, American, etc. Lots and lots of paper.
No entendí nada, pero me encantó😍
thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much for sharing this with us. I would love to win.
Where do the city maps and stamps from a the beginning of the vidéo please??
Such a great giveaway!!!
Thanks for sharing and the giveaway. 😘
That Etsy shop is closed.
Love love love
Is there an insert for watercolor paper?
yes. Many on etsy carry so many amazing papers.
Why a notebook for a person who has difficulty holding a pencil and can barely write?
you are from which country ...please tell

Not all animals are killed to get their leather. Some animals that die from natural causes and used for leather and food☺️
