What it took to create a perfect Bullet Book

Yes, exactly five books, 2040 Pages and two weeks of work. But now, the book is perfect 🙂

left: spine of the first is very different from the fifth spine. I have hidden the binding and spine elastics.

By now the spine is staight and looks really like a book.

The book is stil laying flat open on every page. This is what I love about them.

480 Pages ready to be filled,

Thank you for visiting my page,

The PINKDORI Bullet Book

I was strugling to find a book for my Bullet Journal. Well, my expectations were not that big: nice smooth fountain pen friendly paper, many many pages and light grid/dot grid/whatever….
I have not found one. Either the paper is not good enough or the books do have some directions on pages etc which I just don’t want to have there or the books simply had a cover I did not like.
You can imagine what I did on the end, don’t you? Yes, I made the book myself, in Pink with paper I like and with a sort of french lines.

Because I made the book myself, I have decided to add an elastic and pocket folder for the small nececities every journaller needs. Inside the pocket folder sits my address book and it has two pen loops for my fav fountain pens.

And because I do really like this Book/TN combo, I have decided to share it and add it into my shop. You can start to think about which paper you would like to have in your Bullet Book, if you want the additional elastic and what shall be on it etc. The Bullet book can be totally personalized as it is handmade. My version is made from Krafttex (so called Vegan Leather), but it also possible to create it from leather.
So time to close your eyes and start to assemble, you can order from May 1st-May 7th first 5 orders will get a starter price 50% off.

Thank you for reading,

My new Mantra

Hello all,

I have found a great new quote which I’d like to share.

Repeat whenever you want to buy whatever you do not really need, or whenever you desire sweets and actually want to lose some weight 😀

I just love this quote,

Have nice weekend,

Martina

2015 I am prepared :-)

I have finished new daily insert for my Pinkdori. Love it 😉

The inside of the insert is made to my special needs and handwritten. I talk about it more in my YT video. And because I like it, I would like to share the printable with you 🙂
Pinkdori Daily
it is in very light pink, which is good to save your ink/cartridge and also because you can write over it in case you do not need some section on that day.
I hope this insert will help me to focus more to my goals as mentioned yesterday…
Thanks for reading and have a nice day,

Martina

Creepy Laces

Original lace and the creepy version of it. Colored with silks and white acrylic paint.

I spent a whole day on this stuff, it is so much fun… You need polyesther tulle, laces, ribbons, satin, whatever you find and it is synthetic. And a heat gun. For more advanced creations, you may also need sewing machine.

PLEASE BE CAREFULL HEATING UP YOUR FABRICS, IF THEY START TO SMEL STOP AND TRY ANOTHER ONE. YOUR ROOM SHOULD BE GOOD VENTILATED. MY WINDOW WAS OPEN THE WHOLE TIME.

Trims made from stripes of satin, french tulle and tulle.


When you create trims with materials of different thickness, the best is to layer them from the thickest on one side to the thinnest on the other. Heat up from the thickest one. So I was heating my trims on the lower side and the tulle got burnt too.
WOULDN’T THAT BE GREAT ON A HALLOWEEN COTUME?

Layered fabrics with a grid sewn through them.

Thank you very much for reading and have a nice day,
