keeping it all inside

I came up with the idea for this when I lost the ribbon I was using to keep my journal tied together. Same idea as a coffee cozy. I'm thinking though I need to make one with a button and elastic so that it'll grow with the book.



I came up with the idea because I lost the ribbon and the ribbon was keeping in place all the little bits of paper I keep taped, stapled, and paper-clipped into my journal. Or try to at least. Heart and bird nest from two different ads in this months Vogue. (side note: Vogue? Absolutely useless magazine with pretty pictures and exactly 367 pages of ads before 20 pages of any sort of written content. I'm not even sure who ordered a subscription of it, but it comes every month.)

Life has been a mess as of late and keeping it simple is the best way for me to keep on going.

Good idea on the book strap. Does anybody make wide strips of elastic? That would be a good strap that could expand with the book!

I have elastic that I use when I make myself skirts and it can be pretty wide. I never thought about using that!
