This is exactly what I was looking for! I couldn’t figure out why my interfacing wasn’t working, now I know it’s because I was using water in my iron. Thanks so much for this!!!

This is so amazing I watched Meeka's video before I found this one and I love how we can take someone's idea and make it your own while giving credit to them. This is the best way to flatter each other I the crafting g community. Great ideas and information can't wait to make these for myself.

That looks great for the first one😊! I am going to try it also. Well as soon as I clean up my craft room and find my supplies😆 they are in there somewhere😊. Thank you for sharing and have fun😁!

Checkout Meka's video too. I have made two more planner covers using this technique since making this video and each one is easier and a little bit better.

You did an excellent job! I'll definitely have to check out Meka Allan's tutorial as well, I'm inspired to give this a try 😍

Thank you so much for sharing your take on this, and for linking back to my video. I have interfacing and have been wanting to try it on another DIY, especially for the ribbons that have the canvas-like texture on the back.

You make great job ... i love your way of Eco thinking and Recycling decorative paper ....

I knew from your channel name where you are located lol I live in the same state!!

I had the same stretchy cord and I thought of breading it too but I didn’t like how it looked for some reason. I did double up my thread tho. So each book has 2 strands instead of one. I also used crimp beads to attach the ends of the cord instead of knotting. I was so glad to think of that:) I love this planner you did. I can’t wait to make my own. I just bought a recollections one and added extra holes and that stretchy cord and It’s worked really great but I love the look of that material you used! Thanks for the videos! It was great!

Double sided interfacing would also keep you from needing glue. For anyone who is going to make one.

About the elastic you can find it in the sewing section at Walmart and hobby at Walmart it's by Dritz round cord elastic is what it will say it comes in white and black for about $2 dollars you get 5 yards and the elastic is the right thickness you will need

i went to hobby lobby and i got the pink glitter roll .... i want to try making a few other covers. thanks for the detailed explanation. I may have to go and find some of the pink and blue faux leather :)

Both videos were great! Thank you for sharing! Could you please create a video where you would expand on the sewing more so we could follow along please 😊

Hello Donna, I am planning a video where I make a TN to show how easy it is. I will be making one using the faux leather from Hobby Lobby and one made from cloth with a rigid interfacing called Peltex. Look for that soon in September.

How did you make the spine and the pen loop? Watching this makes me want to try to make my own. Thank you for this video.

The spine, I cut a piece of the fabric and glued it to the outside of the outer cover. This was before I glued the cover and the lining together. I then sewed through all three layers along the long edge of the spine and then around the edge of the entire thing. I used a nail to make the holes for the elastics.

For this type materials you need lower your foot what guide materials or buy one of mats what you put for leather or quilting

I will try my walking foot next time. Thank you, good to know 😄

I think the edges looked better plain without being colored.

The 2nd time I used this technique to make a TN I left the edges white and like it better too.

Did you ever make the one with material in the inside?

I did not. I have tried to make an all fabric one however. Once I figure out it's construction I'll make a few and do a Video.

Did the tacky glue work better?

I have since been using fabric glue only. The craft glues seem to harden and can crack with time but fabric glues have maintained their softness better.

Go slow. Be patient with yourself and maybe practice first on scrap pieces of you're nervous or unsure.
