Method



Make a hole with the awl in the back cover approximately halfway down the edge as shown in the photo and thread the elastic through. Loosely tie ends together. Adjust the elastic length once your journal is finished.




Sew or glue a biggish bead to the front cover, about half way down the open edge. The bead will give a place for the elastic to hold the journal closed.




Attach a button or something else to tidy up or hide the bead. In this case I've used a beer bottle top.



Nearly finished! Well done.


Have fun!
