    Love this! What I would do to make the white elastic prettier is overlay a piece of stretch lace over it 😊

    That looks great, I especially liked what you did with the pen to make it match with the book

    Very nice. You did great! I make those pens, too but I use 550 Paracord. Pick a matching length of cord. Gut the cord, then slide it over the pen barrel.

      Good morning!! Thank you! There is some really pretty elastic you can order or get from Hobby lobby, but i live a long ways from there, so i used what I had! Hope you have a most amazing day today!!

    I know this video is months old but wanted to comment that you could use sandpaper to sand off the cover edges to get rid of paper overhang & give it a finished look. I do this with all my diy covered notebooks. Love the pen idea-never thought of that! Thank you for sharing. 😊

    • @rusticdragonflydesigns
      @rusticdragonflydesigns  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi!! Oh that is a good idea! Thank you for sharing! The pens are great gift ideas even if not with a notebook! Have a great night!

    oh my please do not talk so bad about your self!!! you are so brave to post a video. May of us may be super talented but we are not brave at all to post a single thing. OK, Mom moment over haha you did a lovely job with this. The tip with the pen SO good I have just started using these as art journals and I love what you have done here, it is lovely and the video was helpful!

    Omgosh I absolutely love this and it really isn't bad! It would be cute to put a little butterfly charm on the elastic that holds the pen! I think I'm going to do this with my 3 oldest granddaughters! You are so creative! Oh you said something about different colored elastic being expensive, well do you think you could put food coloring in water and soak the elastic in it for whatever color you want? Anyhow great video! Have a great night Laura!

    • @rusticdragonflydesigns
      @rusticdragonflydesigns  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Good morning Dani! I dont know, never thought about it... the elastic i was looking at is thinner, more appealing to look at and it comes in so many different colors... The butterfly charm is a great idea! Hope you enjoy doing this!! Have a great day my friend and take care!

    6:20 when you said “spritz it,” what does that mean? What product do I spritz it with? I’m not really a crafter… thanks.

      Good morning!! Not a problem!!! I should have been a little more clear, sorry that's my fault! I keep a spray bottle of water that has a super fine mist spray handy for projects... I actually got it at dollar tree... They are in a three pack, small little bottles with pump tops .... Have a most enjoyable day!
