Genius !!! I have been trying to staple thru my paper, but I never thought to make holes and put an unstapled staple thru and bend it in!!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I just made my first insert and it worked so easy, and so FAST! You are wonderful. Lol
In preparation for an upcoming trip, I wanted to learn how to make these inserts. Your video was the first to pop so I watched it. Crazy thing is, we are coming to New Zealand in September 2017 and you were the video I found. Can't wait to see your amazing country and journal about it! Thanks for sharing.
Hi Dee! Dropping by to say that I used this tutorial and SUPER THANK YOU for such straightforward and simple instructions-perfect for the very Uncraftsy Me. Seriously, I am not very good at crafts, but that doesn't stop me from wanting to buy all the things. :p I made my template in the exact measurements for my insert covers and inside pages, then folded it in half and like you, punched holes for staples down the fold. I used parchment paper so I also have that translucency to see the papers underneath. I want to say that between you and Essie I am so happy I have so many TN process videos to watch to get ideas for layouts and inspire me. Thank you for everything you do
Awesome! I appreciate you showing the process quickly. Like most people, I don't have all day to watch TH-cam tutorials :-D I think I'll actually try the sewing machine; I have an old needle to try it out with. Thanks Bunches!
dearly dee I did try it and have made about 6 sofar. Now i get to work on the cover then enjoy journaling with my new journal and fountain pens! Thank you so much for your videos!
Awesome tutorial, thank you! Just made my own insert and did my first layout!! It's been a long 2 and 1/2 years of not really having the heart to scrap but I'm finally finding the joy again! :)
This video was just what I was looking for! I want to make my granddaughter's some personalized journals for Christmas, and this seems like an easy, low cost way to do that.
Oh wow! It seems so obvious now that you've explained it, but that genius way of attaching the pages never occurred to me. THANK you for not assuming that everyone knew this. :)
Thanks for the great tutorial! I'm in New Zealand and can not for the life of me find a travelers notebook like the Midori anywhere! I just made a note book watching your tutorial! Awesome!! TFS
dearly dee such a great idea, never even thought to make one! The shipping from the US isn't cheap either, and I've checked eBay for them. So handy to just DIY it, and it makes me use my patterned paper instead of just looking at it!
Great tutorial darling!! I will definitely have to try this one once I use up my current notebooks!! I really do love what you did with the three scraps and that black strip spine is divine!!
I haven't filled one yet, but I'm very close to finishing my first one! I've only been using this format for a couple of months. They mostly hang out on my desk, where they are more likely to get used. I have a Webster's pages and Midori Traveler's Notebooks, so once I'm finished them they'll end up in one of those I imagine.

Great tutorial!! Did my first insert ever!! Thank you for sharing such as useful tutorial!
i was thinking i was going to need to acquire a long arm stapler, but you mentioned sewing the seam.... i have TWO sewing machines that have not been used in a long while. thanks for the idea.
New fan! I love the idea of making my own travelers notebook with the perfect paper I want inside. Have you ever made ones with larger quantities of paper?
Thanks! I don’t use large inserts so I don’t make them! Because mine tend to be very bulky and I need them to stay flat so I can film for you, I prefer to have less interior pages.
@@dearlydee I would love it and maybe thicker paper for watercolor or acrylics. I am so new to the paper world and I was looking for different types of paper that would take those mediums. Thank you!
Hey hun. Tried this and it worked beautifully. If these are the inserts what size should the actual TN be? For some reason we cant get TN's here in Oz, so we have to make our own!!!!!! Maybe I'll get to NZ one day xxxx
The TN covers I have come from either Oz or the US. I got my first Midori TN from Bookbindersonline in AU and I did a quick Google search for you, and you can also get them from Scratch and Jotter or Milligram. You can get the pretty Webster's Pages covers from scrapboutique.com.au or washigang.com too. If you are making your own, you can make it whatever size you need to fit your inserts.
For the inside papers what do you like to use...copier paper is too thin and card stock can be too thick so what do you use that you can distress it but yet is thick enough to handle that? Nice trick with stapler too...
I really aren't too fussed with what paper I use, I don't generally use a lot of distressing techniques in them so copy paper works pretty good for my needs. I have made a couple with cardstock, I just used less pages so it wasn't so thick.
I'm just getting into traveler's notebooks and live in an area where I have to look online for pretty much anything craft related. I was a bit dismayed at the prices of the inserts. I've been printing my own planner inserts for a ring bound planner, but not sure if I can figure out how to line things up in the right area for placement of cutting for these, but I definitely want to try some blank ones. I see in your videos that you use dotted inserts, do you make those yourself or purchase them. I'm trying to figure out how I can print the dot grid on my paper to make one. Any suggestions? I can't wait to try this, maybe tonight. The only thin I don't have is a metal ruler for cutting, I think I am going to need one, I don't have much confidence in my cutting abilities, but I'm going to try. Will be so worth it to have inexpensive custom notebooks! Thanks so much for making this look so easy, I hope it will be that easy for ME! ;-) LOVE your videos, I could watch and listen to you forever!!
I live in a pretty similar sounding area myself, so I've gotten used to having to give things a try myself! I print the dotted paper myself for the inserts, it can be difficult to make it line up but tbh I'm not that bothered if it doesn't! I just like having a bit of a pattern in the page to start with. Make sit a bit less intimidating I think. Thanks for watching!
What weight paper do you use for the insert pages? Is there a brand that you like for stamping? I in Aus and thinking of doing a TN for December Daily. And how many pages do you usually use? Thanks!
I don't use any particular brand but tend to use around 100gsm weight, this does still bleed through stamping depending what ink you use. Page number will depend on what I intend to use it for. Anything up to 24 pages, otherwise it might tend to get a bit bulky and hard to work with.
As many as I want, thats the beauty of making your own! I've used as little a 3 sheets but I probably average about 6-8 pieces of paper (roughly 24-30 pages). I don't like them too big.
The staple idea...GENIUS!!!!!
Thank you! I'm always happy to find a cheat way of doing things!
Genius !!! I have been trying to staple thru my paper, but I never thought to make holes and put an unstapled staple thru and bend it in!!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I just made my first insert and it worked so easy, and so FAST! You are wonderful. Lol
Yay! You’re welcome!
Came to comment the same thing! No need to buy a fancy stapler or sew them
You’re welcome!
I love the idea of the fake staple. Improvising is always such a plus to see in these videos!
+Arkansas Family A long arm stapler would be easier for sure but who wants to buy one just for these Notebooks?!

Glad it was helpful!
Your faux staple technique is pure genius!! Thank you for sharing xo
😘😘😘
Wow!!! I was just about to purchase a long arm stapler. Now I don’t need to. Awesome suggestion.
Yay! Good timing then!
Love the faux staple idea! I've tried to make my own inserts and it was quite arduous. This way seems much quicker and easier. Thanks for sharing!
Yay, I hope you give it a go, it really is simple!
Best and easy step-by-step tutorial! Thank you!!!
+Jenny C Thank you!
so easy and such a great video! Thank you so much.
Thank you! Hope it helps!
What a fantastic video...direct, to the point and beautiful outcome 😊
Thank you!
Love the video.. Not having to buy a long reach stapler now thanks to this video...Thank you!! Such a great idea...
You are so welcome! Have you checked out my much more recently updated version: th-cam.com/video/6N0Gbw67Cj8/w-d-xo.html
@@dearlydee I have not.. will definitely do so… 😊
Wow the stapler idea definitely earned you my like and subscription :) It was brilliant. Thank you for sharing
Such a simple hack but makes it so easy to make as many notebooks as you'd like! Thanks for watching.
Beautiful!! I love the idea of the scraps!! Going to have to give that a go!
That's a genius idea about the staples! Thanks for sharing.
This is the best travelers notebook tutorial I have ever seen! Thank you so much for sharing this!
Thanks Tracie Claiborne, hope it helped! They're so simple to make!
Brilliant idea with the pin and the staples!!!!! X
Thank you! I didn't want to have to buy a long-armed stapler just for these notebooks so I guess necessity is the mother of invention!
Oh wow! It seems so obvious now that you've explained it, but that genius way of attaching the pages never occurred to me. THANK you for not assuming that everyone knew this. :)
You're so very welcome!
Thanks for the great tutorial! I'm in New Zealand and can not for the life of me find a travelers notebook like the Midori anywhere! I just made a note book watching your tutorial! Awesome!! TFS
I'm in NZ too and had the exactly same issue. Shipping them from AUS became a bit cost-prohibitive so I had to DIY it!

Your staple method is absolutely genius. Thank you so much for this ❤❤❤
You are so very welcome!
Awesome video! Definitely going to try this. I didn't know it was so easy!
So easy, I hope you give it a try!
SO smart! Thank you for posting. I love being able to use up all my paper stash!
Thanks so much, have fun creating!
so easy when you see it, thanks for sharing
Thanks, it really is simple!
Hello Sandra.
Thanks for this great video! You made it look easy and do-able!
Its really is! I hope you'll give it a go!
Thank you so much. I too only have a "baby" stapler and was so lost as to how to do it! Thank you!
+tigerlilygirl1990 Yay! Glad I could help!
Great tutorial darling!! I will definitely have to try this one once I use up my current notebooks!! I really do love what you did with the three scraps and that black strip spine is divine!!
Thanks! Really, I'm just trying not to cut into all my gorgeous whole sheets until I've used up all the other bits!
LOL well you are doing a divine job!! Totally inspiring xoxo
Great straightforward tutorial. Wondering how you store all your notebooks while you're using them and once they are filled. Thanks.
I haven't filled one yet, but I'm very close to finishing my first one! I've only been using this format for a couple of months. They mostly hang out on my desk, where they are more likely to get used. I have a Webster's pages and Midori Traveler's Notebooks, so once I'm finished them they'll end up in one of those I imagine.

Awesome, thank you! Will be making these this weekend!!!
Yay! Thank you!
Great, easy to understand process! Thanks!
I'm glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for this as I have just made my first traveler's notebook insert.😘👍🏻👏🏻
Yay, I'm glad I could help! Enjoy!
Thank you! This was a great tutorial! I am new to TN's, but I will try this soon!
Yay! I hope you do! I'm pretty new to TN myself but I really love them!
This was a great tutorial! Very to the point and easy to understand!! Thank you!!!! :)
Thank you for watching!
Such a great tutorial! I've been wanting to learn how to make these!
They're SO simple, its a bit addicting! Thanks for watching!
Awesome tutorial. Thank you so much!! Can't wait to give this a try!!
Thank you! So easy, you’ll be addicted in no time!
What an ingenious way to 'staple' the centre!! How many sheets of printing paper do you use inside the cover?
As many as I want! It depends on the thickness of the paper really. I like mine smaller so I actually finish them!
Hello 👋
This tutorial is super cool....Love it....Thanks so much....
Thank you!
Great video, D ! I actually use an eraser and put it under my papers and then staple.
Another great option!
Thank you so much! I used your tutorial to make B6 slim inserts for my TN.
Awesome!
This is so simple and fun to watch 😊💚🖊️📒
Thank you!
Finally, I can make my own insert with papers suitable to my fountain pens! Thank you..
You’re very welcome!
So awesome! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks!
Thanks for the quick tutorial 😊
These look great, thank you for a fab tutorial x
You're welcome!
i was thinking i was going to need to acquire a long arm stapler, but you mentioned sewing the seam.... i have TWO sewing machines that have not been used in a long while. thanks for the idea.
I make these a lot of different ways and none of them involve a long arm stapler! Sewing machine, hand stitching or this staple trick all work great.
Simply brilliant!
Thank you!
Smart idea with the staples
Thanks!

Thank you, I hope you do!
Easy enough! Thanks this was great!
Thank you so much for sharing. Amazing! I'll definitely give this a try :)
Thanks, I hope you do!
This was what I was waiting for. My staple is not big enough to staple so this trick is amazing. Plus the sewing with twine method is too complicated.
+TheGLOSSette Who's got time for sewing? Staplers are so much easier!
Thank you soooooooo much I just made my very first one its not perfect but I now know I can!!
I glad I could help, just keep practising and they'll get better!
Hey hun. Tried this and it worked beautifully. If these are the inserts what size should the actual TN be? For some reason we cant get TN's here in Oz, so we have to make our own!!!!!! Maybe I'll get to NZ one day xxxx

Thanks for watching!
This is great!! Which paper is better or what do you suggest? Have you added more paper to a booklet like 30 pages?
I tend to keep mine on the smaller side because I don't keep my pages very flat and 30 pages would get very bulky (and hard to film for you guys!)

🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼👍
When you do the staples like this. Are they as stable as they would be if you used it in the normal way?
I use the notebooks in the exact same way as I usually would, I've never had any problems with them.
dearly dee thanksxxxx
So cute and fast ♥
Thank you!
I love your Notebook Inserts and how you make it. How many pages you used in one ? I do mine too thick and it looks bulky :/
As many as I want, thats the beauty of making your own! I've used as little a 3 sheets but I probably average about 6-8 pieces of paper (roughly 24-30 pages). I don't like them too big.

Thank you so much 😊
ladies wats the sizes in inches for a websters travelers notebook
Check their website, they have all the specifications there.

Whatever I happen to have on hand, patterned paper, printer paper. I just experiment.
Well fuck, I just started journaling and I am having a hard time finding the right size .You made this 1000% easier to do now!
Happy to help!
