DIY TUTORIALS: MAKE YOUR OWN BLOG PLANNER + FREEBIES

by Sassy Cebuana - 12 November

One of the problems that most of the bloggers encountered is being Mentally Blocked. I hate it when a certain idea popped out while I was doing something else and when I started to open my blog, I suddenly forgot all those wonderful ideas that are worth sharing for. Yesterday I was able to think so hard and figure out this issue. I grab a notebook and write all the things that I wanted to blog about ,then an idea suddenly popped out! Why not make my own blog planner? I mean, it's more inspiring if you have a personalized planner rather than to settle with a plain notebook right? So today, I'm going to show you my DIY Blog Planner using my old journal.

This old journal of mine was sent by BDJbuzz last year, and I almost forgot it, good thing I cleaned my room and found this on my old box where I kept my files. Look how dusty and dirty the cover is, ew! Good thing, I found a free printable papers that can be use to cover this rugged journal. At the end of this post I will be posting the link for the freebies that you might want to download. First things first, here are the materials you needed to create your very own blog planner.

MATERIALS NEEDED:

OLD JOURNAL
SCISSORS
GLUE
RIBBON
PRINTED PAPERS
STICKERS
PUNCHER

I detached the cover because I'm planning to divide it into two since my sister, the blogger behind Jongs Journey just started blogging and I want to replace her boring notebook to inspire her to write more.

I had removed the staple to divide it accurately. Removing the staple took me five minutes, whew!

I used scissors to divide it properly.

Tadah! equally divided. :)

These were the printed papers I'm telling you and it's absolutely free! Later, after this post you'll get to download cute printables for scrapbooks. My choices were the nautical pink and the red and blue.

Look how cute the printable banners are! I know you're pretty excited to grab yours as well, I'm almost done. I'm excited to share it with you as well.

Found this on google and printed it. Supposedly these were meant for sticker paper but I don't have one so I've printed it using my sterling papers and would have to paste it wherever I wanted. My choices were the guitar and the cute little star with a Rock Star on it.

The last part was making an eyelet for the ribbon and I've used puncher for this.

And voila! I'm done! The content for my blog planner would be the blog title, photo ideas, inspiration/sources, Content Notes/Summary, Links, To Do List and where to share my post. Okay, here we go, as promise, here are the freebies that you might want to download. Ready? Here it goes..
