Skin a Moleskine

Maybe you're like me (and for your sake, I hope to God you aren't), and you like the idea of the Moleskine notebook more than you like the notebook itself. Maybe you don't like the paper, or you don't like the combination of the paper and notebook, or maybe you'd never put a ribbon in any sketchbook ever... or maybe you just like to complicate your hours away from the computer with extra projects that are "crafty" so that it feels as if you are doing something "useful" or even "creative." Or, finally, maybe you don't like doing what everybody else in the universe seems to be doing, which is buying the Moleskine notebooks like mad because they are so cool, so you'd really like to just do something with them that is utterly out of the ordinary.

Which brings me to the herewith linked instructional post at Trumpetvine, offering the most detailed, highly extraorinarily useful how-to of how to replace the pages in your Moleskine for fun and profit. (Okay, not really profit, and possibly not much fun, but it is a very handy how-to, and you could learn a thing or two about bookbinding, if nothing else, by reading this post in its entirety, even if you never ever actually follow the instructions therein).

Lovely and amazing, and offered to you with blessings and happiness.
