How to make your own Traveler's Notebooks inserts (without a long arm stapler!) 

The staple idea...GENIUS!!!!!

Genius !!! I have been trying to staple thru my paper, but I never thought to make holes and put an unstapled staple thru and bend it in!!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I just made my first insert and it worked so easy, and so FAST! You are wonderful. Lol

Love the faux staple idea! I've tried to make my own inserts and it was quite arduous. This way seems much quicker and easier. Thanks for sharing!

I love the idea of using the staples that way! This is one of the best tutorial I've seen. Thank you

Your staple method is absolutely genius. Thank you so much for this ❤❤❤

Awesome video! Definitely going to try this. I didn't know it was so easy!

Thanks for the great tutorial! I'm in New Zealand and can not for the life of me find a travelers notebook like the Midori anywhere! I just made a note book watching your tutorial! Awesome!! TFS

Great straightforward tutorial. Wondering how you store all your notebooks while you're using them and once they are filled. Thanks.

Great tutorial!! Did my first insert ever!! Thank you for sharing such as useful tutorial!

Awesome tutorial. Thank you so much!! Can't wait to give this a try!!

That is genius!

Awesome tutorial, thank you! Just made my own insert and did my first layout!! It's been a long 2 and 1/2 years of not really having the heart to scrap but I'm finally finding the joy again! :)

In preparation for an upcoming trip, I wanted to learn how to make these inserts. Your video was the first to pop so I watched it. Crazy thing is, we are coming to New Zealand in September 2017 and you were the video I found. Can't wait to see your amazing country and journal about it! Thanks for sharing.

I love the idea of the fake staple. Improvising is always such a plus to see in these videos!

Awesome! I appreciate you showing the process quickly. Like most people, I don't have all day to watch RU-vid tutorials :-D I think I'll actually try the sewing machine; I have an old needle to try it out with. Thanks Bunches!

What an ingenious way to 'staple' the centre!! How many sheets of printing paper do you use inside the cover?

so easy and such a great video! Thank you so much.

wow awesome thank you for sharing 😍😍😍

Beautiful!! I love the idea of the scraps!! Going to have to give that a go!

Well fuck, I just started journaling and I am having a hard time finding the right size .You made this 1000% easier to do now!

so easy when you see it, thanks for sharing

Great video, D ! I actually use an eraser and put it under my papers and then staple.

Easy enough! Thanks this was great!

What weight paper do you use for the insert pages? Is there a brand that you like for stamping? I in Aus and thinking of doing a TN for December Daily. And how many pages do you usually use? Thanks!

For the inside papers what do you like to use...copier paper is too thin and card stock can be too thick so what do you use that you can distress it but yet is thick enough to handle that? Nice trick with stapler too...

Love the video.. Not having to buy a long reach stapler now thanks to this video...Thank you!! Such a great idea...

New fan! I love the idea of making my own travelers notebook with the perfect paper I want inside. Have you ever made ones with larger quantities of paper?

This was what I was waiting for. My staple is not big enough to staple so this trick is amazing. Plus the sewing with twine method is too complicated.

Hi Dee! Dropping by to say that I used this tutorial and SUPER THANK YOU for such straightforward and simple instructions-perfect for the very Uncraftsy Me. Seriously, I am not very good at crafts, but that doesn't stop me from wanting to buy all the things. :p I made my template in the exact measurements for my insert covers and inside pages, then folded it in half and like you, punched holes for staples down the fold. I used parchment paper so I also have that translucency to see the papers underneath. I want to say that between you and Essie I am so happy I have so many TN process videos to watch to get ideas for layouts and inspire me. Thank you for everything you do

I'm just getting into traveler's notebooks and live in an area where I have to look online for pretty much anything craft related. I was a bit dismayed at the prices of the inserts. I've been printing my own planner inserts for a ring bound planner, but not sure if I can figure out how to line things up in the right area for placement of cutting for these, but I definitely want to try some blank ones. I see in your videos that you use dotted inserts, do you make those yourself or purchase them. I'm trying to figure out how I can print the dot grid on my paper to make one. Any suggestions? I can't wait to try this, maybe tonight. The only thin I don't have is a metal ruler for cutting, I think I am going to need one, I don't have much confidence in my cutting abilities, but I'm going to try. Will be so worth it to have inexpensive custom notebooks! Thanks so much for making this look so easy, I hope it will be that easy for ME! ;-) LOVE your videos, I could watch and listen to you forever!!

I love your Notebook Inserts and how you make it. How many pages you used in one ? I do mine too thick and it looks bulky :/

That's a genius idea about the staples! Thanks for sharing.

This tutorial is super cool....Love it....Thanks so much....

Hey hun. Tried this and it worked beautifully. If these are the inserts what size should the actual TN be? For some reason we cant get TN's here in Oz, so we have to make our own!!!!!! Maybe I'll get to NZ one day xxxx

Great, easy to understand process! Thanks!

Oh wow! It seems so obvious now that you've explained it, but that genius way of attaching the pages never occurred to me. THANK you for not assuming that everyone knew this. :)

I’m so late to the party, but this is genius.

This video was just what I was looking for! I want to make my granddaughter's some personalized journals for Christmas, and this seems like an easy, low cost way to do that.

i was thinking i was going to need to acquire a long arm stapler, but you mentioned sewing the seam.... i have TWO sewing machines that have not been used in a long while. thanks for the idea.

Wow the stapler idea definitely earned you my like and subscription :) It was brilliant. Thank you for sharing

When you do the staples like this. Are they as stable as they would be if you used it in the normal way?

Great tutorial darling!! I will definitely have to try this one once I use up my current notebooks!! I really do love what you did with the three scraps and that black strip spine is divine!!

This is great!! Which paper is better or what do you suggest? Have you added more paper to a booklet like 30 pages?

Thank you for this as I have just made my first traveler's notebook insert.😘👍🏻👏🏻

Wow!!! I was just about to purchase a long arm stapler. Now I don’t need to. Awesome suggestion.

This is the best travelers notebook tutorial I have ever seen! Thank you so much for sharing this!

what type of paper are you using for insert?

Thank you soooooooo much I just made my very first one its not perfect but I now know I can!!

Thank you so much for sharing. Amazing! I'll definitely give this a try :)
