DIY - My Blog Planner 2013 by Erica Made Designs

When I started blogging I had no idea what is blogging all about.  The niche, link, HTML, blog templates,etc all are new to me. Totally lost in blogosphere world.

Then someone told me to organize my blogging. Hey!  What is that again?  ORGANIZING?  You mean I have to make a plan?

ORGANIZING is a struggle to me that time, though I am a graduate of BSBA-Marketing and I know how to manage my time, I still have a problem in making my plan.

Thanks a lot and I saw this post from a fellow blogger, a download copy from her site www.confessionsofahomeschooler.com from Erica Made Designs, LLC.

This is her 2013 Colorful Floral Blog Planner.




CONFESSIONS OF A HOMESCHOOLER is known for their incredibly and useful printable and blog planners.  And I was lucky enough to download her Blog Planner for 2013.

Though I am late to have my blog planner now, I am still willing to have one.

After downloading and print the planner I prepare all the materials needed for my DIY BOOK BINDING.



BOOK BINDING is a meticulous work to do, especially if your a mom and you are in a hurry, you need to buy things in a rush because it is an intimidating job that requires specialized tools and expensive supplies. This one is so easy and inexpensive way to bind books, no need to worry for an expensive supplies and specialized tools.

All you need:

  1. Colorful gift wrapper ( you can use fabric or wall paper, etc)
  2. String or embroidery floss and needle
  3. Scissor
  4. Puncher
  5. One sheet of paperboard(cover stock/card stock)
  6. Glue
  7. Ruler
  8. Pen/Pencil
  9. Tape

HOW TO DO IT?


Just compile all the pages.  Then punch it per inches wide (in my case I prefer to have 4 holes only).



Cut 2 more pages from your paperboard.  And cover it with your colorful gift wrapper.



Cover the paperboard with the wrapper by using a glue.  These will be the Front and Back pages of your book.  Then using a needle with a string, sew the pages.  No knot is needed to use here at the beginning.  Stitch all the way down and tie off your stitch by running your needle under one of the stitch. And to make it sure it is lock make a loop and repeat it then cut the excess string.


THE FRONT PAGE
THE BACK PAGE
Get a paperboard. Measure the exact angle of your book,make sure it is align with the sewed pages.



Fold and glue the corners of your pages, the FRONT and the BACK pages.


Then cover the whole front with a decorative gift wrapper.





For a nicer look put a tape to cover your book just like your covering the school books of your children.




As easy as that and I have my Personal Bound Book DIY-My Blog Planner 2013.
