How to Create 5 Types of Custom Dividers/Dashboards For Your Planner (Compilation) :: Happy Planner

[@stacykhernandez]

I used actual plastic dividers that you buy for a 3 ring binder and I cut them down to size. They’re perfect and the plastic is thin enough to cut with the punch.

[@squairdplans]

I purchased a set from Avery like that that I may still use. They are pretty lightweight which is good for punching, but I kinda like that stiffness of some of the heavier plastics. makes it easier to hold the tab and move the pages all at once.

[@christinedundas3469]

I made the styrine dividers after seeing your first video with them - love them!

[@squairdplans]

I like the styrene a lot! 😁👍🏼

[@felicitaramirez9738]

I too do my projects by hand.

[@squairdplans]

Sometimes it's just better that way. ;)

[@alias065]

Love all these helpful DIY ideas. Thanks so much.

[@squairdplans]

Happy to hear it!

[@janetschaaf]

I've always wondered what the difference between divider and dashboard is, so thank you for explaining that.

[@squairdplans]

No problem! 😁👍🏼

....and here we go 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 🤣 I think I should wait to watch this video... until my new laminater arrives. I have some sheets that could, maybe, perhaps satisfy the itch I know im gonna get after this video....... 🤗

[@squairdplans]

I know the feeling. You watch when you are ready, Tammy. ;)

[@deefaye7336]

Thanks for this, very helpful. So far I've only laminated my dividers but these other materials are an awesome option, thank you for covering all of them.

[@squairdplans]

Glad it was helpful!

[@mikaelapagan2384]

You can open the bottom of the puncher (what you open to clean it out) and see exactly where you need to punch.

[@squairdplans]

Good tip! Thanks!

[@TinaLouiseWallace]

Thank you for this!! I love diy’s especially for my planner and I do have 2 cricuts and a silhouette

[@squairdplans]

Nice! 👍🏼 I wish I had a cutting machine sometimes. Maybe I’ll splurge next year. 😉

[@AimlessAllee]

Can you make these with the Silhouette? I bought the Portrait a couple of years ago. I got so frustrated trying to figure it out. Everything I tried was a mess. I put it in a closet and have been making my dividers by hand. I would love to use the Portrait but I think I need to find some instructions for beginners. 🤷‍♀️

[@EllePlowPlow]

I love your DIY’s!! I love doing DIY’s that look professional and yours always come out perfect! 😊

[@squairdplans]

Thanks! I confess, if it comes out looking “trashy” I won’t use it. I hold my DIY to a high standard. 😉

[@EllePlowPlow]

@@squairdplans I’m the same exact way. That’s why a lot of DIY’s that people put out I can’t do because if it doesn’t look professionally done when I’m done I can’t /won’t use it. And you’re very welcome 😊

[@wendyhoward2699]

You are amazing. You can figure out how to do so many things. Many blessings and have a very Merry Christmas!

[@squairdplans]

Thanks Wendy! Blessings and happy holidays!

[@kj2941]

I made some from the Styrine earlier this week, there's actually film on both sides {if you didn't notice} and they are crystal clear once you take it off!

[@squairdplans]

You are totally right! TFS! 😀👍🏼

[@susanmorris5520]

I loved how you showed that one can use different things as dividers and Aldo as headers too. Very informative video. God bless you and have an awesome night too. Sue(Clearwater, Florida)❤️🥰😘👼😊🙏🏻🎄🎅🦋🌴🤟🏻🌸👍🏻❌⭕️❌⭕️

[@TracyIsInTx]

Such a great tutorial. You make it really easy to follow. Thank you 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@squairdplans]

So glad you found it helpful, Tracy! 😁💕

[@TracyIsInTx]

@@squairdplans 😂 very little (if anything) of what you show goes unused by me 😊

[@lorih.4613]

I ordered some top tab dividers from an Etsy shop and I was not able to use them with metal discs on my classic HP because everything would get “stuck” whenever I turned the pages. I went ahead and made some dividers with the dollar tree chopping mats and I have the same problem. My planner is not thick at all. I went ahead and changed to plastic discs and only then did the pages turn without issues. Does anyone else experience this type of problem and if so, any suggestions on how to get the metal discs to work well with these clear dividers/dashboards?

[@squairdplans]

You just need to take some scissors an open up the tails of the mushroom holes a little bit. That will solve your metal disc issue. 😁👍🏼

[@lorih.4613]

@@squairdplans Thank you so much for replying and for the info! I will try this asap!! ❤️

[@sachab8780]

Do you have a video on how to make "bookmarks" from scratch? I dont know how big (what size) to make them :( If anyone has sizes for the micro, mini, classic, and big, that would be GREATLY appreciated :) I will definitely be making some of these dividers/dashboards for my planners. Thank you so much for sharing this video :) Cant wait to make some of these. This is going to make Frankplanning so much easier

[@squairdplans]

I don’t have a bookmark specific video but can say that they should be the size of the page height plus the tab (~0.2-0.3”). Width can vary.
