Best tutorial ever!!!! Where was you 5 videos before? Hahaha. Ok. Thank you.

[@PlanningWithEli28]

Lol thank you so very much!🥰

[@SkyBugsGirl]

Thank you so much for making this tutorial!!! I'm going to make mine a little different, but before watching your video, I had NO idea how to make a TN. Now I have just the right amount of knowledge from you to make the one I want. 😊 You made it so simple to understand and follow! Thank you!

[@PlanningWithEli28]

Your welcome that's awesome I'm glad your going to make your own.

[@lilacscentedfushias1852]

When you were talking about why you hadn’t done the video yet I understand partly from me personally, I couldn’t be bothered if have the patience to edit a video, hear myself speaking etc, even though I teach crafts & jewellery making and being a teacher in schools for years. One of my cousins in Ukraine is in the armed forces there, he was talking about making a channel, but I’d have to do the editing and translation. The thought of it made me feel stressed 😩 😂 I would have done it because it’s only fair to do it, but I’ve been glad he’s decided not to. 😂

[@lilacscentedfushias1852]

A bradawl I’ve used a metal skewer too, sometimes over a lump of blu tack or in the classroom the gap between the desks I think you got it from the jewellery making section because of people using it to make holes in leather etc 😁

I really liked how these came out and they super cute. I am thinking about doing these for my little girls. They are just like me and love to write in notepads and they love sticker books. This would be great for them without spending the money on a leather cover for them. SOmething fun and durable. I love your videos. Super helpful and fun.

[@PlanningWithEli28]

Definitely and it's a good way to introduce them to planner like you said without spending money. I bought my daughter a whole planner and stickers washi etc and she didn't like it as much as she thought she would so she gave it to me lol. Your welcome thank you!😉❤

I suggest to keep your bands from fraying either sowing your inserts together or if you have to use staples using washi over the staples that will preserve your bands for later use! I like your creativity!

Just a quick thought, glue the paper together ahead of time ; score and cut once... would make it easier.

[@PlanningWithEli28]

Thanks for the suddgestion, I don't like cutting paper in doubles I rather do it one at a time. 😉

[@MARY-tw7lh]

Thank you for explaining everything...definitely gonna try this. But really what is the purpose of the TN??💕

[@PlanningWithEli28]

The real use is as a journal when traveling or just memory keeping but now most girls use it as an actual planner now. I'm not a journal kinda girl so for me I use it as a planner. Your welcome!😉💗

Hi Eli great tutorial 😊 I’m trying to make different sizes , trying to get better so that by Christmas i can give them to my granddaughters since I have 9 granddaughters and one on the way 😍 I do have a question how would I know where to score for different sizes of TN’s ? Thx in advance 🙂

[@PlanningWithEli28]

Wow that's amazing 9 beautiful grand daughters may God Bless them and your family always!💖 Well the way I do it, is based on the amount of inserts I will be using. I put them together to see how much width space I will have to leave for my elastic and inserts. Hope that make sense. I'm very bad a explaining right. 🙈😄 Your welcome let me know if you have any more question or need me to be more specific. 😉

You made this look so easy and I appreciate it, now I can make my own. As far as the tool you used, what is it called? I checked your description but it does not say, I know you mentioned it but I thought I could find it in the description it would be helpful, also what size elastic is that you used? Awesome tutorials!!

[@PlanningWithEli28]

Thanks! This video was a long while ago which tool did you mean. Let's see I used the needle pointer to make the holes. You can also use a crop a dile if you have one. For the elastic I just search elastic cording and buy the thin one I think its 25mm length and 1mm diameter.

Why didn’t you use 2 sided paper? I have never made one, I’m trying to learn. 😀

Because sometimes the Michael's paperpads are not double sided. Sometimes I do use double sided it all depends on happy using either one. 😉😄
