I appreciate how direct this DIY video is. thank you. So many have the first 10 minutes of talking, rambling, tangents, etc which I find HIGHLY annoying. Yours was very pleasant to watch. I hope to make one soon.
I usually can't stand to watch "long" DIY videos, but I really enjoyed watching yours! The music was so soothing and you described everything so clearly!
Zyra Bañez Don't worry about the length! It just bugs me when people make long videos and just talk and talk. But your videos have the perfect combination of music, voice overs, and content of video!
So simple to follow! Thanks for showing people how to do it step by step (surprising how many other ones fail to do so). Best thing is we can use existing tools to make these rather than buy one from the shop and never use it again.
I'm a publish writer and always need paper with me for note taking and this will be a great idea ! Thank you for taking the time to share this great idea!
I made it, I didn't have enough leather in one colour so I pieced three pieces together with copydex and made it like yours after that, except I made some holes on the front to thread elastic through for holding pen pencil and waterbrush, and inside I made a felt pocket for a card with blobs of watercolour paint on. I really like it, thank you for inspiring me with your video
I made myself one yesterday. I've been looking at buying one for the longest, but I can't justify paying 60 bucks for a sheet of folded leather given my current life situation. I found that spray-on adhesive is a lot easier to work with than tape and glue, but I imagine any sort of adhesive would work. Thanks for uploading this video!
Akagism Awesome! I definitely know what you mean. I would think spray adhesive would work better, but I didn't want to buy one since I had the tape and glue already at hand :)
Hello! My friend linked me to this video, and I'm so very glad that he did. Your video used simple explanations and materials and helped me a lot since other videos show a whole range of materials I probably couldn't afford to buy or find where I live. great work and thank you so much!
This tutorial was amazing ! You're really underrated for being such a good and helpful artist! I hope to be as good as you when I'm older. Keep doing what you're doing!!!
I've recently discovered the Midori traveler's notebook and I became fascinated in it, especially since I recently began writing a journal (and I have a soft spot for leather). But, being the thrifty person I am, I wanted to have a look into the design to see if I can make my own instead of paying £30 for one off Amazon. So I found your video, and as I suspected its a simple concept with great potential. Great video, informative and practical. Now I just need to go around local charity shops to pickup all the materials.
Thumbs up. This is just what I had in mind for a back pocket notebook. (Too bad I had to wade through six other vids before this one.) I make my own inserts now, so I'll dimension the cover to match. Best Idea = the pocket divider!
This is really cool!! Definitely something that I will keep in mind when I get a job teaching art in the near future. These would make awesome sketchbooks for students. Thanks for sharing!!
Sweet DIY idea! I see a lot of ' improve this and improve that' comments. But that's only be the support u! Just making sure u don't fall! Best designer in de universe!
+BingoBlossom Plays Thank you so much! I am open to criticism as it's unavoidable especially on an online platform xD but thank you so much for the kind words!
Thank you for such an informative video - your voice is lovely, very professional, and the instructions were very clear. You've inspired me to try this myself - thank you!
This came out great. I didn’t follow how you attached the pink notebook with the pocket inserts. Can you clarify that, where did you attach the elastic after tying the knot and wrapping in through the notebook?

Great video! INstructions easy to follow, and the idea is so lovely. Thanks a lot!
Why do you use the double sided tape if you are going to cover the surface in glue? This seems redundant, and I am wondering if the glue sticks as well to the smooth surface of the tape as it would to the rough, absorbent "wrong" side of the fabric?
it's optional. I like to do it to make the bond stronger (or at least that was the aim - this was kind of experimental) since I have tried gluing felt with just glue and it falls apart in the long run (idk maybe it's the glue that I've used then)
Think, maybe you could make the corner cutting a little bit easier. Provided your scissors can clip through several layers of leather/vinyl, that is. Fold the cover in half, then in half again, so all four corners are on top of each other, then clip your corner, and it will look the same on all four corners.
Hello, :) this is exactly the video I had been looking for and so easy to understand. Thank you for sharing. I noticed you had two other sizes. I was wanting to make a A5 size for my daughter who will be off to college soon and was wondering if you wouldn't mind sharing the measurements. Thanks, Monica :)
Thank you for the feedback! The one I made fits the Moleskine Cahier large journals (which has a smaller width than A5) and it was 22.5cm x 29cm. Since you want to make an A5.. I'd recommend making the width longer.. so around 22.5cm x 33cm :)
Hi Zyra! I love your videos so much! But i was wondering if you couldndo different body types as in size in your videos. I just primarily see one size and it would be cool if you did more. Thanks Zyra!!
If I'm understanding this correctly, that third hole on the top and bottom of the traveler's notebook is not a hole. it's just a dot marking 1cm from the top and bottom, which will then help determine the two holes that's 0.5cm from both sides that dot (3:34)
Thank you for such a precise video. Just what I was looking for, though, I want to add two more signatures than you have. It is easy to figure that out since your video was so great :)
مبروك زيرا ١٠٠ الف مشترك عقبال مليون 100k subscriber I hope to see your subscribers million 😍. I apologize because I used Google to write in English because I Arabic😬💔.
does anyone know what can you use to make a hole, if you don't that pointy holemaker- she's using? I have a sticker book that i would like to make into a travel journal book. thanks.
Great video, and I love your voice. It isn't that easy sometimes to figure out all the tech stuff, I sure have problems with it. But I love it for one, very clear and to the point, ( not my strong point Ha! ) Great job!
Nanna SV Thanks and damn! haha I was going for a relaxing voiceover which I've seen other DIY channels do ^_^" oh well I'll try again. And I'll keep it in mind for future narrated videos.
Stephanie Childress It's still very flexible but not as floppy as it was before I added the glue and felt. I'm not really sure how to fix the ends since mine don't have that kind of problem, but perhaps if you added glue to the ends and let it dry, it might seal it
Is "Felt" the same as Flannel Wool? Because I'm WAY too lazy to drag myself to the arts shop, and all I have at home is Flannel Wool, would that work the same? Thanks!
I appreciate how direct this DIY video is. thank you. So many have the first 10 minutes of talking, rambling, tangents, etc which I find HIGHLY annoying. Yours was very pleasant to watch. I hope to make one soon.

Kimberly Johnson yes it is so beautiful
I usually can't stand to watch "long" DIY videos, but I really enjoyed watching yours! The music was so soothing and you described everything so clearly!
+Cassaundra. Ann Thank you so much! I'll try to shorten my DIY videos in the future for sure xD

Thank you for sharing. I really like that it's not a running monologue be for the actual diy. Very easy to follow. I'm going to make one for myself.
New subscriber here. That was the easiest to follow instructions and cost efficient way to make a fauxdori. Thank you so much.

+Cimonay thank you so much! and that's so thoughtful of you to do that for your friend.. have fun with the DIY! :D

Hi, I was just thinking can I use jeans except felt.
I'll be glad if you answer.
Thank you 😊
definitely! I used felt cause it's what I already had, so feel free to use the materials you already have as well :)
I already have everything I need to make one of these, so I'm definitely going to try to make one today, thank you

and You are so welcome! :)
Love your first DIY Video. I expect more DIY in the future. 💋💗
Hi Zyra! I love your videos so much! But i was wondering if you couldndo different body types as in size in your videos. I just primarily see one size and it would be cool if you did more. Thanks Zyra!!
There is a third hole that wasn't used, what was it for and do you use it in the future?
If I'm understanding this correctly, that third hole on the top and bottom of the traveler's notebook is not a hole. it's just a dot marking 1cm from the top and bottom, which will then help determine the two holes that's 0.5cm from both sides that dot (3:34)
This is perfect for school, I added a planner on one side and on the other my bag of supplies.
Amazing🙌🏽. I like it, imma try it one day☺️
Where did you buy the notebooks? I love the colors they have
Mia Hansen I made them myself.. the covers are just scrapbook paper which is why they're such bright colours :)
Zyra! You're so close to getting 100,000 subscribers! Congratulations in advance 😊 btw love the video 😄
Missy Gwen THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE SUPPORT!
This is a great tutorial. I love it! Making one of these doesn't seem so terrifying anymore. :D
Thank you for such a precise video. Just what I was looking for, though, I want to add two more signatures than you have. It is easy to figure that out since your video was so great :)
This is great, but what was the point of punching 3 holes?
Hi, great video! where did you get the little notebooks?
I made them myself using other people's tutorials
really useful and easy for everyone~ THX Zyra
Well that was straightforward. I like.
It's so good. Thank you very much for sharing.
+Arte Con Clase thank you ^_^

Hi which thrift store u got the vinyl from?
Is It Salvos?
Thanks 😊
does anyone know what can you use to make a hole, if you don't that pointy holemaker- she's using? I have a sticker book that i would like to make into a travel journal book. thanks.
have you thought of using DeviantArt?
Wow, that was fantastic
Sasu123456789x1 Thank you ^^
Great video, and I love your voice. It isn't that easy sometimes to figure out all the tech stuff, I sure have problems with it. But I love it for one, very clear and to the point, ( not my strong point Ha! ) Great job!
+Stephanie Baxter thank you so much! that was definitely my aim since the other DIY videos I watch have that kind of style ^^
Congrats on 100k+ :)
¿Can with kraft?
you didn't thread the middle hole?
I really love this
Hey Zyra, i love the diy, but i must say that the VoiceOver seems a bit robotic and unnatural.. Just something to think about :)
I agree. The robotic sound sort of ruined the video for me :)
Nanna SV Thanks and damn! haha I was going for a relaxing voiceover which I've seen other DIY channels do ^_^" oh well I'll try again. And I'll keep it in mind for future narrated videos.
+Nanna SV YOU READ MY MIND
thats bull shit! her voice sounds really clear and relaxing so stfu and zyra dont stop doing voice overs
She didn't say to stop doing the voiceovers.
So close to 100,000!
beautiful 👍👍👍👍👍
it's so pretty! thanks for making this video, i really want to try this some day! :)
The Art Journey Thank you :)
Hey, do you think I could just stick another piece of vinyl to the other side instead of felt?
+Brittany Weinberger yeah definitely! You can make it reversible :D
+Zyra Bañez Thanks, good idea!
won't it make it pretty thick?
Elizabeth Johnston Thick is usually good :)
Can I buy that from you
Very good video tutorial. Thank you for sharing. :)
I'm gonna do the same thing but with watercolor paper, to make a traveler's watercolor book...hehe
How did you get your vinyl to not feel floppy? Is it because of the insert you glued on the inside? Mine is floppy and pulling at the ends
Stephanie Childress It's still very flexible but not as floppy as it was before I added the glue and felt. I'm not really sure how to fix the ends since mine don't have that kind of problem, but perhaps if you added glue to the ends and let it dry, it might seal it
Is "Felt" the same as Flannel Wool? Because I'm WAY too lazy to drag myself to the arts shop, and all I have at home is Flannel Wool, would that work the same? Thanks!
they're similar so it should be fine.. but honestly you can use whatever materials are available to you :) I've seen this done with paper!
