Leather Traveler's Notebook DIY planner (with no special tools-using what you have around the house!). I used a leather kit I purchased from an Etsy shop, altguild. It came with the raw leather already cut to the size I wanted and the holes punched in where I wanted them. I cut the corners, burnished them, stamped it, dyed it, and sealed it with beeswax. It included the grommets as well as the elastics pre cut to size so it was really easy to put together!

If you are looking for the dye I used, I used this: amzn.to/1PSVcmB (aff)
Let me know if you have any questions about the steps and I can clarify. It was a 3 hour long video so it moves pretty fast. I used a small screwdriver and hammer to stamp a word into the leather, it was a LONG process. The dye took quite a while as well, and I let it dry overnight before sealing it. The color lightens up a bit as it dries so make sure to add your color a bit darker than what you are going for.
