How to make a pouch journal cover ✨

Tools:
* A pouch of your choice
* Awl tool
* Elastic cord (mine is 2.4 mm thick)
* Clear/cellophane tape
* Scissors
* Washi tape
* Patience 😂

1. Fold the pouch in half.
2. Use an awl tool to make 5 holes like shown in the video. Be careful not to poke your hand!!
3. Insert the elastic cord as shown. For easier insertion, wrap a small piece of clear tape around the end of the cord.
4. Tip: Make the center hole slightly larger so both ends of the elastic cord fit more easily.
5. Wrap the ends with washi tape & trim the tips to prevent the elastic cord from fraying.
6. Done! ✨

The pouch I used came with an extra plastic insert inside to make it sturdier. I kept it because it’s actually really useful for organizing everything inside.

Comment if you want part 2 👀
(I’ll show how I make the DIY notebook using a clear file, postcard, loose papers, a rotating stapler, and the rest of the setup!)

Also let me know if I should film a full YouTube version of this tutorial 👀
