Hello and welcome to this week's class. The first part of my “Crafting a Travelers Journal” series of October.
In this class, I will share all about crafting a “Travelers Journal - Notebook” cover.

The intention of the class is to have fun but also create a planner that allows us to craft a productive life. 
Planning is essential for productivity, but it is also important to love your planner in order to create the habit of using it on a daily basis. What better way than to create a planner that fits YOUR needs and that YOU love! 
So, while planning this class, I decided to break it into easy and fast steps to make sure it wasn't too overwhelming. I also took the time to research and find the most inexpensive materials to help you get started on a budget.
Below are the materials I will be using. Feel free to alternate them with your favorites.
Materials:
<ul><li>Lather sheet, AKA, Tooling Leather. This one piece measures 8” x 11” and I got it from my local craft store for under $12 
<ul><li>An Alternate option could be; Wool felt fabric for a trendy look. You may need to sew two pieces together to create a firm cover. </li>
</ul></li>
<li>Mini punch set: Also found at my local craft store.  This one was under $6 
<ul><li>Alternatively, you can use scissors or office/paper punchers according to the material of your choice. </li>
</ul></li>
<li> Elastic Cord in the color of your choice. $3
<ul><li>In this case, I used beading elastic 1/16”. It works great to hold my inserts in place. Also available in local craft shops.  </li>
</ul></li>
</ul>A great reason to go this route is that you will have material leftover and tools to create more versions in the future. 
I hope you enjoy this project and come back next Thursday to create customized inserts for your new beautiful planner.
