Lovely idea and simple to do. Your explanation is very clear.Love watching your videos.

[@Peachthlu]

Made one this morning and this is pure genius. It turned out great and I especially like the clipped holes so that it opens out from either side. Thanks for this video!

[@MissTrenchcoat]

***** You're very welcome!

[@DMass942]

That was brilliant! I have been using the Franklin planners in the classic size for 20 years now and wanted one in turquoise but they wanted over $100 for it...I found one at the thrift store for $2.00, but it doesn't have many side pockets, so this will be great. I love the way you make it usable to open from both sides...I am thinking this would be a great way to do an envelope system for budgeting -- cash on one side, receipts on the other, with a folder for each category. Love this. Thanks so much for posting!

[@nicolegustafson6609]

Sooo great! At first, I thought, I would prefer the opening to be near the edge of the note pages. But, I understand the opening now; nothing will fall out. I'm on my way to Target!! Thanks for a beautiful tutorial.

[@shrita1000]

I've been searching all around on youtube for a folder for my planner and this is the best one. This is quick and easy and very inexpensive. Love it! Thanks for sharing.

[@rzashida]

That came together well. I was unsure of what was going on in the beginning ... but it makes perfect sense now!

[@tashinaeller8925]

[@sweetrita3]

I loved this video ! Great job

[@MissTrenchcoat]

sweetrita3 Thanks!

[@Badwolf_82]

Lovely idea :) thanks for sharing!

[@tracimreed]

Love this! I would fold it so the pockets were on the outside so I didn't have to compromise the integrity of the holes by opening and closing it!

[@MissTrenchcoat]

Traci Reed Great idea, although I will say I have been using the same folder for months on end in various planners and it has held up great, no issues yet! I think if you use a quality file folder as your base, they tend to hold up nicely!

[@kelly6866]

What a fab idea going to try this.. Thanks for the totorial. X

[@juliaburton5604]

I randomly picked up a pack of these file folders yesterday at Target and then ran across this tutorial. I just made one for my recollection personal planner and it works great.. however, the glue is not drying on these shiny folders, lol. I need to use a stronger glue next on the next one.

[@lilianaperillo8437]

[@annielucky7352]

wow awesome idea!! I am kinda new in the pllaner/filofax world - I created my own planner for the 1st one - can't wait for 2015 to began to use it :-) I will definately do my own pocket as living in Canada, we often do not have the same stuff in Michaels or Target and most of the time, I can't find all the good stuff you find :-) Thanks for the idea! Love your video

[@MissTrenchcoat]

[@gabriellewhite6784]

I love this idea and if you could, can you do a DIY on a a5 to see if it works

[@hanab531]

Dying this vidio is freaking amazing how to you do you do all this stuff

[@onemoregarden]

good video!

[@mzindependentone]

I love this idea!! Do you think this will work on a small kikki k?

[@alazaywilliamson]

awesome

[@jab3562]

I would love if you could show us how to make the swing pad, I love this, but I only know how to make it not laminated, which is a problem. I wrote to Franklin Covey but they said they will not make the anymore. I would love this!

[@elsieblakley2381]

Great!,,

[@arangelcaitlin113]

I have the same six hold punch and that is my one complaint. they need to make it for multiple layers. It would be so much handier.

[@lulusplannerlifegmz1202]

Awesome! !😊 what about to fit a Midori Travelers Notebook? Do you own one? Thanks for sharing!

[@MissTrenchcoat]

Marylou Gomez I don't have a Midori myself, but my husband does! You can definitely use this method and adapt it for a midori, just use one of your MTN notebooks as a guide and draw out the outline for your folder as I did and cut to size!

[@alisonhsieh8479]

Do you use a special hole punch or is it the standard hole punch size?

[@learntocrochet3952]

Love this idea! Do you think it would be a good idea to laminate the folder before applying the glue? Or do you think that would make it too bulky?

[@MissTrenchcoat]

Learnto Crochet if you use a high quality folder, those are already coated, no need to laminate

[@learntocrochet3952]

Alexis aka MissTrenchcoat Thank you! I found them at Target.

[@evacordova1742]

I'm going to try this! Do you use a regular hole puncher or is there a specific size I should get for the personal size? :)

[@MissTrenchcoat]

Eva Cordova I believe you can see the punch I use in this video... its standard as far as I know!

[@tymarimobley1886]

Can you make a video of a Filofax divider without file or cardstock scrapbook paper.

[@moliisum5233]

I don't have a File Folder on hand, am I able to use a card stock paper instead and laminate them so that it'll be thicker? Would I be able to fold the laminated card stock paper into a folder form without any problem?

[@MissTrenchcoat]

+Molina K Sum You can use card stock, but I wouldn't laminate it. If your feeling adventurous though, give it a try and let me know how it goes!

[@asdfghjadiekl]

Quick question, can I use a three hole punch to put the inserts in?

[@asdfghjadiekl]

Also, if not, what size hole puncher should I use? I am planning on getting a single hole punch but I am unsure of what size to get. I have the kate spade wellesley planner.

[@MissTrenchcoat]

jadie nguyen If you are using a Filofax style 6-ring planner, I suggest this 6 hole punch, goo.gl/qz8rF3 but if you would also like a single hole punch, I believe the size is 1/4 inch Hope this helps!

[@patrice8257]

the folder is actually quite useful! instead of Valley girl "like" you use the new intellectual girl "actually" however is not good you are however so please get out of the habit. "you know?" lol take care!!

[@Itsashbe]

What size hole punch do you use?

[@MissTrenchcoat]

illhurturheart I use this 6 hole punch goo.gl/qz8rF3

[@521LakeStreet]

This Filofax is the same measurements for my CC???? I am a newbie! Sandy

[@MissTrenchcoat]

521LakeStreet About the same, I believe.

[@ymkeene]

Good DIY, but way too many "Actually" and "Actual". I find that MANY people putting videos on You Tube do the same thing. Please take this as constructive criticism. You have great ideas and I commend you for having the guts to make videos. It is just something to work on for future posts.
