I am so excited to share with you all the process of creating a Happy Planner inspired planner using Dollar Tree products. I had been looking for the perfect planner for 2021 and was having a hard time finding a planner that had everything I wanted in my planner. I decided it would be fun to try to create my own planner so that I could customize it include everything that I need in my planner for 2021!

What I do is go to Michael’s usually around April, and I get the 12 month planners for 90% off. A buy a few, and I redate them with white out and number washi or stickers. That way, I do not have to makes any dividers. I also get the 18 month planners (that start in July) when they are on 90% off clearance, and I end up with a whole year of a current planner and no re-dating required. But for those who enjoy making their very own, then this is a fun way to do it.

@letytoscano2773 2 года назад

When do you usually get the 18 month one?

@dawns1017 2 года назад

@@letytoscano2773 I can’t remember. Those planners start in July , so I would start checking early November, or even the end of October because it’s almost time for the 12-month 2022 planners to come out. Most important, this is never an advertised or marked sale. I go in and I bring the planners to the price checker and lo and behold I find them 90% off. Since it is not a marked sale, I get as many as I want ( that’s why I have too many now) Good luck!

@andrea.rivers 3 года назад

The gift bags at DT are so awesome. I've laminated them and made traveler's notebook covers.

@ashleyalfeche3200 3 года назад

At the dollar tree i also got a travelers notebook obviously its not super high quality but i gotta say its better then the one i got at micheals it came with two elastics and the original way in the middle to shut it with that elastic where as the micheals one pnly had one elastic and a wierd way of the elastic for the wrap around one so overall i would say if you are going to get one that is a different brand then the original this dollar store one dollar one im most impressed with

@gptach 3 года назад

I found that by printing my own pages and trimming them to size worked really well. I also use washi tape to reinforce the edge.

@carolmichael8585 3 года назад

This is so great for my lesson planning. I would love to have all of my different life planners in one book. Thank you so much for sharing

Such an ambitious project. It’s a great idea which allows you to personalize your planner😀

@gingersnap8364 3 года назад

For dashboards/covers you could also use the plastic cutting board sheets at dollar tree

@mammabear379 3 года назад

I would suggest that you use the other sides of the bags to make them reversible and use a cardstock in between to make it sturdier. Also hole punch everything before you laminate it and it will be much easier punch it after you laminate it. You Definitely get better at it the more you have done it.

@Sugar_Hollow_Happenings 3 года назад

I love the diy aspect but after buying all those bags at a dollar and then several notebooks to get enough rings you are spending more than just using a michaels coupon to buy a Happy Planner. It is pretty though if you want a completely customized planner.

@laurag5168 3 года назад

Not to mention everything for lamination and hole punching.

@karendepasquale6078 3 года назад

FYI. I did this before but felt I wanted the cover to be thicker so I took the laminated cover and ran it through again with another sheet. Worked great. Was hard to punch but no different than you doing front and back at the same time.

@ThriftedLiving 3 года назад

That’s a great idea!

@rebekahbardsley5947 3 года назад

I think you are so cute and you are very talented and I give you props for having such a supportive husband. I do not know many guys that would go with their wives or girlfriends to pick out bags for planners. It really says alot about your marriage. I have never been married and have no babies and I have been on my own since I was 24 and I am 57 now. I love paper crafting and sewing and beading. I think for your Valentine bags if you cut them down and frame them in a simple white Dollar Tree frame they eoukd look cool hung up or sitting on your desk.

@shelley6746 3 года назад

Such a cool idea! You’ve got an Awesome hubby, he’s so helpful♥️

@tinydancer7426 3 года назад

Save yourself money ....... use gift paper, wall paper, maybe used greeting cards (with the backs cut off) and cut/piece them to size (you could piece them together in quilt designs, be creative and have fun doing it) and laminate (assuming you have the laminating supplies on hand) Print out your own calendar pages. Recycle, up-cycle, reuse. Heck, you could use fabric that you have on hand and laminate that to make the dividers.

@skyangelthefan 5 месяцев назад

Genius! You have my subscription! I am soo tired of searching for Happy Planners that the designs are suited for the planner and the consumer’s attraction. I enjoy Frankenplanning my Happy Planners and I buy them when they are clearance, but the new cover designs are not attraction art work. This is genius and I will find dollar tree gift bags that attract my Spirit to put it in my planner.

I made my own planner this year as well. It was a fun process! I found a vintage binder at a thrift store and added my own pages.

@ThriftedLiving 3 года назад

That sounds so cool! I will have to keep an eye out for binders at the thrift store!

@jeannecharlson9678 3 года назад

I have used binders, too, for my planners. I find that I can have quite a few “categories” in a binder, compared to a “ring” planner since the planner rings don’t like to holder very many extra pages.

@veronicasalas2666 2 года назад

Aren’t their bags just gorgeous! I almost always see bags I fall in love with. I add it to my gift wrap container to be used as a gift bag or as a planner cover. I got that idea from Life at 50 and Beyond. It’s a wonderful way to make custom planner covers. Also when the cardstock goes on sale at Michael’s for $5 I’ll go grab one for future planner covers as well. I love The Bates House too! Their channels show so many DIY planning ideas for people on a budget. It’s so satisfying to create your own designs too. Now I’m subbed to you too as I’m planning to get back into my planning again. Your planner came out beautiful 😊👍

@Sarahcat3930 3 года назад

You could use some of the small notebook paper in your planner, also. They could be for special reminders, events, lists that could be removed to take with you to the store, etc. The paper already has the “holes” cut, so it would not be difficult to add the in (possibly a few for each month).

@ThriftedLiving 3 года назад

Great idea!

@ThankfulNanaDiane 3 года назад

I love the idea of using the gift bags! I will look at them differently now! I found some very inexpensive, blank calendar pages a couple years ago at Family Dollar, 1 year’s worth of pages for $1. (A lot cheaper than like $15 for a ready-made set of refill calendar pages!) They were even cute! I was looking forward to stamping the months & days, but the pages are so thin, everything bleeds through except pens. At least I have a good variety of pen colors! I hope you don’t have the bleed-through issue!

@rydiaemerald 3 года назад

SO PRETTY! I think the gold rings would look even better. And you can use those little mini HP-like notebooks as filler paper!
