No, just quickly assemble and finish off my journal. I have all my pages here I just bound them together to keep them neat. Then I have a piece of elastic, it's just elastic cording, you can cut open a headband to if you don't have the elastic, it's about 30 inches you need much less I like to give myself some room here. And I'm just going to thread it through those two holes one at the top and one at the bottom. Sometimes if the elastic phrase like this, I'll just clip it again to make it easier to get through that hole. Then you decide if you want to keep your knot on the outside of the inside.

I like mine on the outside most of the time. So then I'll take it and I'll just pull it somewhat tight to get my first knot. Then I'll release it a little bit because I know I'm going to put the pages in and then I just make a double knot if you want you could thread beads on here as well. You can tie additional ribbon, move this around. And then once inside and open I'll take my pages go right to the center and fit them in just like that. It's easy to attach additional pages you can just slide them in and you could also punch more holes and add more packets of pages if you'd like.

And there I have my piece of trim this down a little and I can even trim it further as I go along. And then I have my completed journal
