1. 2. 3. 4.

Cut the leather cord to two lengths of the notebook (approx. 17”). Leave a 2” tail.

Start inside the notebook on one end and make a simple running stitch passing through the holes.

When you reach the end, continue the running stitch backwards to meet the tail.

When finished stitching, the thread will come outside to the cover side. Make a loop and knot it.

Push the needle back inside through the same hole you just came out of.

Tie an additional square knot and cut the ends short.

Burn the ends with a lighter and enjoy your new journal!
