Journal Journey

Recommended Posts

I was at the office supply store and noticed that Day Runner had a new style of planner. The X17 Modular Binding System has several smaller booklets that are kept in a journal via elastic bands. Unfortunately the journals are a plastic/vinyl material. But, hey, we all know of a much nicer material and so I bought several of the inserts and began to ponder.

I had some 4oz scrap and faux ostrich pig skin. I'd also never done any lacing and figured this would be a nice project to give it a go. So, after measuring and modeling, this is what I came up with. As always, an adventure and I'm please with the results.

The inserts are up to 17 sheets folded into a 5X8 booklet. They come in monthly, daily, ruled, graph, blank and tear out note styles. You can mix and match to your needs. I need to chart some specific information on a daily basis so I've already created my own pages that can be photocopied, staple bound and trimmed for easy insertion.

If I were to do it again, I'd add something to hold a pen/pencil and pockets on the inside flaps.
