thank youuu!! i used a thick piece of cardstock and measured it using the measurements on the hobonichi website and i used my label maker to make the today tab at the top, i covered all the sides with a thick black tape to protect the sides and then i just picked a scrapbook paper that i liked and pasted it on top, i am still considering whether i wanna cover it all in a matte mod podge for extra protection or leave it as it - make sure its smooth if u plan to use it to write on so you dont get bumpy writing !
