Make your own sketch journal with holders

Step 10 Strap it in!

We can make a journal style closure with the same methods as the cover's holders.  Measure uniform holes on the back cover... remember... you don't want your closure strap to run over your pencils on the front! So, measure twice.  Insert the ribbon ends as you did for the holders.  Allow for a snug fit around the book, but not a TIGHT fit.  It is surprising how little tension you need to keep the book closed.  Too tight an you may damage some pages or paintings!  Hit the ends with supper glue as before.
