- [Open for all supplies, links and other info!] Here’s a tutorial on how I made my own DIY Bullet Journal, Traveler’s Notebook style! It only cost me about £1.50/insert and £5/cover (the total cost of the supplies will be higher, but you can make multiple inserts and covers).

I am overwhelmed by how good is the shooting and editing.
Thank you so much!!! I'm so happy you enjoyed it! ❤️❤️❤️
Yes truy
It's true👍
♥️
One word: AMAZING!
Well after watching a zillion videos on how to make a traveler's notebook arrangement, I don't have to look at any more videos. Your method is by far the best and makes a really professional and serviceable notebook that will last a while. Thank you!
That means a lot because I put a ton of work into this video, so thank you so much! Really happy it was helpful! ❤️
This is the truest comment💜
Ikr, it’s so pretty and satisfying to watch. I’ve been looking for travel journals in discount stores for months and I’ve just decided to make my own.
Finally a video that doesn’t tell you to go spend $80 on supplies. I love this video and the effort put into it! Its amazing. Thank you.
When using staples be aware than unless they are brass they will eventually rust and damage the pages - this will take a good number of years, but if you want it to last there are many Japanese sewing/bookbinding techniques that will let you have pages that will open flat without any rust problems
I really like what you did here. You are actively creating instead of just consuming. I love how popular these travel journals are, and I love anything that inspires people to write more but I am not a fan of feeling the need to go out and buy things just to scratch the creative itch. I feel the benefit to taking your time to create something like this is that you will end up writing in it more often because of the pride you feel in it. It truly becomes YOUR journal. Thank you for the wonderful content.
Wow!! Such a beautiful video. The lighting, the angles of your shots and of course the amazing journal. Just loved watching all the details you so carefully payed attention to. Thank you for sharing such beauty. You have a lovely gift.
Hi! To keep the elastic from undying themselves, put a couple of drops of nail polish on the knot! If you coat the elastic ends with nail polish, they will be less likely to fray also. PVA glue (white school glue) works as well, it needs more than one coat to get the same results as the nail polish though. Also, if you put a little clear nail polish on the eyelets, they will take WAY longer to tarnish! Thanks for a great video!
Okay so I usually don't comment that much but I finished this project today! I made 4 holes on the top and bottom and chose a dark brown for the fake leather. It's so beautiful and I can't thank you enough for this great tutorial!
Who's feelin like making their own bujo's now?! 😆 Find the links and all other info in the description! Also, here are some time stamps for you:

I live in France and we don't have many choices for notebooks or covers. So that motivate me to try to make mine.
OMG YESS gonna make one tomorrow 😍💕
This is so beautiful!! I live in South America but we definitely don’t have all those pretty materials 😓

MyLifeinaBullet I LOVE IT😍😍
This is so nice! I was always unsure about travel journals, but I really want to make this now. It's a good thing you made it bound notebook friendly!
This is the best video I've found to make a travelers notebook! thanks so much Cristina. You rock!
I've been looking for tips to make a cover for my drawing journal and I'm so glad I found your video. It's so easy to make and the result it's impeccable! Thank you for sharing
I LOVE the white faux leather you used. I have made my own journals this way, but the white just makes it so beautiful. I can’t wait to make my own!
I loved it! Thanks for such precise instructions! Loved the gray one!
I perfectly LOVE this TN. Such beautiful detailing.
Really really nice. Going to try this! I love how it has the ability to change notebooks, so that it can be kept for a long time. Best tutorial so far!
Tomorrow at late night I received this video's notification. You wouldn't believe how excited I was to open it. Today I opened it at the very morning.....and it's cool. Thank you 😘😘😘😘 Make a lots of video for us.
Omgosh... Kristina seeing this process makes me appreciate it so much! Will definitely try it one day! 👍
This is so elegant. I can't believe I never thought to insert staples that way!
WOW!!! And, the "white" leather stands out very nicely!!! TFS
This is one of the prettiest, most ‘aesthetic’ notebooks I’ve seen someone make. I really wanted a journal to plan all my travelling in and I couldn’t find any nice ones. I’m definitely going to buy some material and do this, thank you!!
Finally! An all inclusive video for the inserts and the cover!! Very astetically pleasing too. Thank you for a fantastic video!
BEST TUTORIAL EVER! Explanation, shooting, lighting, material used, her voice! If I could give you a 1000, I would! Thank you for this amazing tutorial!💛
I and so many other people appreciate this video so much! Thank you for sharing! If you ever decided to sell these, I would definitely buy them because I love the design so much. It's so simple yet elegant and low maintenance which is great! Thank you always 💗
Made 7 of these for the lady's in my family's Christmas presents and they were a huge hit! They loved them and are still using them 4 months later. Thanks for making the instructions so clear!
This is so easy to make! Unlike other CZcamsers who just use materials that we can't afford!
I like the staple trick u did ! I have never seen that , thank u I’ll need to use that with some of my projects
I really appreciate the care and attention to detail when describing various methods to accomplish the same thing, like how to punch holes with eyelets and how to secure the eyelets no matter what kind of tool you had. This is such a wholesome tutorial and just a pleasure to watch.
Best instructions out of all of the many I watched. Saving this for later, so I can go step by step when I am ready to make it. Thanks!
Wow, beautiful! I’m definitely gonna try this once. Your’e voice is very pleasing, and I’m happy you don’t use very fancy tools. This way I can recreate it. Thank you! 💞
That is very elegant. I especially like your closure.
I've watched a whole bunch of diy travelers notebook videos, but this one is by far the best!! 100% gonna do this, thanks so much 💕💕😍
I came here because I wanted to learn how to make a bullet journal inexpensively and that I wouldn't have to buy supplies for the only thing I had to buy were the eyelids and those were not expensive at all. Overall whenever someone asks me where I got my bullet journal i'll be able to tell them I made it myself and i'm really exited about that. Thanks for making the amazing video!
Thank you so much for making the dot grid available for us to download! I will definitely try your tutorial when I have bought the materials :D
Oh wow. Absolutely stunning!!! And you explained the whole process so well.
Loved this video! The way you word your instructions is simple yet elegant. I particularly love the angles you used for the scenes because they give us a clear view of your process. I hope you enjoy using your notebook since you put so much care and effort into it! Greetings from Indonesia. ❤
I love this journal!! It is so pretty and you can use the same cover for a while. Thanks soo much ❤️❤️
Loved all the simple yet classic ideas!!! It's amazing!!
Gorgeous TNs! I love the extra thought you put in with the eyelets etc. very well done video. Thank you
