you can also spray paint the discs as well, I did mine in glitter once!

This is gonna be a silly compliment but your enunciation is so good that the auto-subtitles are almost on point! It comes in handy when i cant watch with the sound :)

I'm not really into haul videos, but I watched because it's Sea Lemon and I love this channel. I like how you used your haul video to describe some ideas you're having for future projects. That's one element that made me really enjoy the video. But I really can't wait to see what projects you dream up and decide to film! May I make a video request? You have a creative mind, and you described in part your thinking process. Because I have ADD, I find it very difficult to organize all the ideas that fly away as soon as they land onto a page. Would you take us on your creative thinking journey from the beginning concepts to the final project results? It would be kind of like a "behind the scenes" of your tutorial video, without the tutorial (unless you wanted to add that part). Thanks again, Jennifer!

I looooooove your channel Jennifer! Keep us updated on the disc binding, I'm saving up to buy my own puncher. I think this system is so helpful!!!

Great channel Jennifer. I had been frustrated with disc binding until I saw your last video on it. I do use my laminator and artwork, old notebook covers or pretty papers for my covers now. It works really well! Thanks for all of your videos.

I really like how you have all kinds of different ideas rolling around. I like the idea of a diy hard cover. Great tutorials, Thank you 😃!

I recently got into the ARC system and I LOVE it! I'm in Europe, so my choices are kinda limited but that's okay. I'm a writer, so I print off a lot of character sheets and things like that. The ARC system now allows me to put all the information together in one place and move things around if needed. I actually bought some more today. Last time I bought A4 sized stuff, but most of the things I work with are A5, so I bought some A5 supplies today.

I'm excited about your future disc binding videos! I've seen so many videos on it but I love your style so I'm looking forward to what you come up with.

Love your creativity! Please do more of these discbinding videos!

Placemats, Great idea. I got the clear arc cover so I could pick something under. Great video

This video actually inspired me to make my own disc binded notebooks for my different subjects to take notes in my teachers really like this idea 😄😄😊😊

I have the Levenger medium punch, and started with Circa. I was gifted a happy planner, jacked.some pages out of it to work in my 3 Circas. So, yeah there really aren't enough disc colors in ANY brand. Easy fix, careful application of your favorite nail polish and a heavy clear coat. I tried acrylic craft paint and sealed it but it was harder to work with and began to chip a bit. Just be careful at the edges so it doesn't get to thick and interfere with paper going in and out. I used my super big Circa clear discs, did 1 set with dark blue and blue glitter nail polish, LOVE THEM! Had a mess of the tiny black starter circa discs, 1 coat white polish, 2 coats robin egg blue, 2 clear. I did a purple, mustard yellow and magenta set as well. Just like when doing your nails, thin coats, plenty of dry time between each. I stuck them on a craft fowl through the hole, balanced it on books with clamps while painting. Nothing to stick to like if I was painting one side at a time flat on wax paper, faster as well. YEAH, I'm spray paint, don't go there. I did a set of 8 of small black discs with a chrome spray paint, thin layers, dry between each as directed. Chipped fast, got to thick so didn't pop in and out easily. Nail polish. Sticking by that one, it works.

I bought some bullet journals off Amazon for my husband and I as an Christmas gift by doing art by hand in a style and theme my husband loves but I was really nervous about messing up the art until I saw your discbound videos! So I returned the journals and got a puncher and discs. I'm supper excited to create some notebooks!

Thank you for the detailed information. You really make very nice videos.Keep it up.

Jennifer, there's a Technic for laminations using iron. It's a priceless alternative😉😘Love your channel!

Great video! I've purchased well over 100 of these disc notebooks for my own art journaling and the art journaling classes I teach. I love them! I purchased most of them through Walmart, but now they've discontinued the line. Looks like Staples is the best location now!

Truly love your tutorials!!😄

I use the arc system and am looking forward to more ideas . Thanks

love your video I have got a lot of inspiration from you and I love your video since your KZfaq channel has started

i love this channel it's awesome😭💖

You deserve a 10,000,000 subscribers !!

those ideas r so cool i like them !

Hi Jennifer, about the elastic band, I use eyelets to hold the elastic on my notebooks, it is really easy to apply them using the "crop-a-dile" by "We are Memory Keepers" and it's not expensive at all!

I love your work so much

I love disc binding, it seems like more stores are carrying them now too. I recently found them at Walmart and OfficeMax. I like to use plastic file folders to make covers for mine. They hold up really well and I like the built in pockets.

I love your work so much :)

Thank you sooo much for all the great information. I want to bind my wAtercolor art pictures. I just bought the we r memory keepers punch so I will be looking for disc.

I finally found this video I just buy it at the Micheal store today. And I was so confused how to put it on i did watch this video before. But you had so many dis. But thank I love your video now I know how to put this on.i need to buy a different whole punch. To be honest I did cut it but not a lot. Thank😘😘😘

aaaa i want all of this stuff it all looks so cool!

You may have already seen them but Circa makes EXQUISITE aluminum rings - some really nice colours too. They're pricey but very very nice.

I have just got some of those thin, plastic flexible cutting boards. I plan on making covers for my DIY disc notebooks. they are stiff yet flexible and will be great for covers. I might have to use my crop-a-dile to punch the holes and kitchen scissors to cut the slits but that should be be hard to do. I got some on Amazon that are different colors. 👍

I just love your videos. ♡

The first discbound video is when I swapped over from my 3 ring binder. I also found out about the Happy Planner and now have one. I use the Office Depot/Max Tul brand punch (with a coupon and sale I got it for $26, cheaper than Arc, Levenger, and the Happy Planner punch) it is listed to go through 6 sheets and I find it easy to punch through laminate. I also have Arc's portable punch (1 sheet) that from 4 months of use has gone a little dull. There's also a brand called discology (spel?) that I've seen in craft stores, the discs are each a different color making a rainbow effect, haven't heard much. There's also a discbound marketplace on Facebook that has discs of all colors and sizes for sale along with supplies. I love the discbound system and would love to see tips and tricks for it.

Thank you for showing me the disc binding system. I got creat365 puncher from Michaels using 50% coupons and My Walmart has the 2inches disc rings 12cts in hot pink for $0.75 clearance from i365 Walmart brand, so I got ten packs, that’s 120pcs disc rings I like the flip on short edges too . And so I use 8cts per 100+ notes . I am so happy! Now all my microbiology notes and ppt print are disc binding g and so convenient!

I'm such a discbound addict! I have several versions of discs, punches and brands (arc, Happy Planner and Levenger ), and they all seem to work well together. I don't see myself ever using anything else ;)

Definitely try some metal discs. They are a HUGE improvement. Tul, Mambi, Martha Stewart, and others!

I'm so glad I found disc binding, I was trying to find a solution in reusing old notebooks. I don't always use all of the pages in my notebooks after each term and it makes me feel terrible that there's nothing I can do with the loose pages but recycle them. With disc binding you would be able to save money by reusing those sheets and adding more paper to the notebooks and still use your notebook as a spiral. I hope this catches on or the dics become cheaper, or I watched a video of a man that creates things from melting his own plastic waste, if those people made discs we may have just solved 2 waste management problems in the world today.

try hair bands at the dollar store they are just straight up the exact some as the happy planner bands

Hey just found your videos! I started using disc binding for work about a month ago. I would love love love to see more videos on disc binding, especially tips on how the different supplies and DIYs influence your organization? I have not quite gotten a handle on it. Also, I stick lots of stuff just into the notebook (BAD habit) without punching. Could there be a pocket DIY in the future? Subscribing now! Looking forward to more of your videos!

I've been disc binding for years. I started with Levenger. I think the biggest reason it's not very popular is that for a long time levenger was the only one you could get and they really are price prohibitive. But with the Arc system and now happy planner. I think it's popularity is rising. I love my happy planner, and I'm always making stuff for it. I have made laminated covers and I prefer to use the thin cutting boards from the dollar store that you mentioned more as a protective cover than a cover by itself. I decorate them with the vinyl wall stickers you can pick up just about anywhere. You also don't have to have the punch to use the system. If you have a sheet of paper that has the holes in it already, you can use that as a template, use a regular punch to punch the holes and scissors to snip out the bit of paper that's left.

I would love to see all of your DIYs for the Arc System. I use a Happy Planner daily and I would love to DIY some projects for it.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this before, but I think I remember that in your last video on discbinding, you were talking about the punched part of the page being hard to keep attached, especially with lighter weight paper. I have found that if you reinforce the edges of your pages with washi tape or something similar, it keeps even copy paper in there well. I think I first heard that from MissVickyBee, and it does seem to work well. I don't have a disc punch though, so I'm not sure it would go through the tape. I just used a 1-hole punch and scissors.

I just got the MAMBI puncher for making notebook to my friends. I use my HappyPlanner and them become curious and ask where find them. I plan to make a lot of notebook for Xmas 🎅🏻

😇 love the disc project 🤔 I wonder if we can make one for heavy duty outside work 😌 I need a better multitude notebook organization 🖖

Love your channel! I'd like to know has the disc binding technology advanced since this video? I don't see disc binding accessories anywhere except for Staples, once in a while. I have the arc punch and I'd like to see some updated videos about the disks and DIY materials for making your own notebooks thank you so much!

laminator is BEST tjing in the crafty world. it's amazing :)

apaixonada por essas coisas de papelaria ❤ um dia ainda terei um desse.

Gosh! I love your channel, It's so great!! I like the tutorials and the DIY's. I would like to try the disc binding but I have to get the supplies via online and...let's just say it's too expensive. Anyway, I'll be waiting for your next video n_n bye!!

You mentioned Arc, Circa and Happy Planner, but there is also Rollabind. The discs work well with all of the others and come in a pretty wide variety of colors. I have been happily using these for years.

Ur so good with ur work

i watched all of your videos! since 2014

I love my Arc system makes my d&d life and normal life a whole lot easier

I saw your other videos on discbindind and they're so complete!! So, since you know so much about it now (almost like a pro! haha), have you found any A4 punch you can recommend? Because where I live, we don't really use Letter size and it would be pretty expensive to switch everything college related to Letter size. And discbinding looks SO useful for notes and assignments we study from...

Very helpful... love the pattern on your blouse.. I would really like to know where you've bought it.

Once you go disc-bound, baby... you never go back!! :P --Oh, and I, too, spray-painted my discs. Great video!

Hey, Jennifer. After watching your videos on disc binding and doing a little research on my own, I jumped straight into it and I'm loving it. It's super easy to use and incredibly versatile. However, I'm starting to run into a little problem with it...is there any way that I can rebind my bujos/planners/notebooks etc and recycle the discs in a way that I can archive the booklet and still retain the function of it?

Funny that you bought these The Happy Planner Snap-In Tabs. I used washi tapes to make mine for my business collection. haha!

Staples in my area used has a lot of different colors. Bright pink, blue, purple, orange, and a couple others. I don't think they still carry them anymore, though, sadly! I do wish there were more options. Disc binding is still the only thing I use for all of my school notes / handouts / anything else important for class, it keeps everything so organized and in the same place.

I bought a new planner a while ago, and when i got home i realized that it didn't have that elsatic band around it, so i kinda made two holes on the back of the planner and used a screwdriver to do two holes in it and the re used an old elsatic, i felt really crafty after that

Cut the holes of the side off a poly cover and pouch holes in the top. The covers are a little bigger than the paper so there's room. You can also find clear cutting boards at the dollar store. That's what i used. I just put some scrapbook paper behind the clear cover.

I can't be without my junior size notebook. (My 3x5 notepad too.) IMO those rings sorely needed to be covered. Otherwise the added stress from pulling it in and out of my purse wears out the covers. I experimented with slip-type book covers until finding one that slips easily. It's not perfect. I'm thinking a better solution might be a fabric strip sewn or glued onto a plastic cover similar to Mead notebooks. Do the rings wiggle catch and annoy you? Thanks so much for sharing such wonderfully clever and efficient ideas with us.

Try experimenting with Dollar Store elastic headbands for diy journal bands or Michaels and Joann's both sell colored elastic that's relatively inexpensive.

One video I saw used a whole punch to make holes for the disks and then used scissors to cut from the hole to the end of the page. That might help on some of the thicker covers

I'm really wanting to try this now. I'm a writer, and I generally have multiple projects at different stages; this would let me carry around what I was working on. The only thing stopping me is the fact that I've got everything in 3-ring binders. (Maybe I could just use them to archive inactive projects?)

If you have a laser printer, toner ink and decofoil thru the laminator gives good results. Also deco foil transfer gel. That works without toner. Watch videos on laminators with foil. Your covers will sparkle. Love your videos.

Very nice!!!!!!

Oh i wud love to see a tutorial on how you made those frames for the ikea hanging cups thingies behind you.

Oh yes the laminating habit sounds very familiar to me haha!

Love you all the way from France

Amazing 😍

check out the rolla bind system. it's an older system that works with the discs and predates the happy planner and all the others.

loveeeeee it

Staples.com has a top bound version of the discbound system! They also have dividers & folders for the top bound... unfortunately it seems to only be online

as far as an elastic for closure, have you looked into the headband elastics? they are similar to the elastics y used for pony tails. check into them and see if that works.

Hi Sea Lemon, I was wondering if you could made a video making a notebook with a stone like cover.

Will the disc bound work if I use a regular hand handle hole punch instead of the hole punch you are using

Hi Jennifer ! I really like the disc bindings and I have a Levenger punch, the large one , I am looking for the disc’s though , Levengers circa disc’s are pricey and I wanted to see if you found any less pricey ones!

can you do an updated disc binding haul? Or an updated disc binding pros and cons video? I'm wanting to try this for myself, but want feedback on what is and isn't working and what products you like.

I found gold and bronze as well as other colors on Amazon. I purchased an assortment of pink, green, orange and purple. They were shipped from China. The four packs of 6 rings were less than 5.00 dollars. hank you for sharing. I made a small note pad just to try out. I used a craft paper 80 pounds. I think a heavier paper would work better. what weight paper do you use?

just an idea, use the happy planner snap in tabs to create a cover. just sick them to some chip board or whatever you want. and if they aren't spicy enough, superglue them on. not sure. if it will work, but its just an idea.

Jennifer, can you do a book covers video? I love you xxx!

I want to know if the disk work fine if you use a single hole punch? or do you need an specific one?

Just starting to look at disc binding.

what do you do with used pages you want to keep but not in your current notebook ??

Please do more disc binding videos 😍 I'm from Ecuador

I've bought, but not yet done it, some placemats to use as covers. And when I'm writing this, you're actually talking about it. There goes my tip :). The only thing I don't really like about this system is how bulky the rings are.

If you put around a long piece of tape to protect the edge of your cover board, and then punch the holes through, the paper layers of the board would probably not split. So you could use whichever board you want and protect the binding side with tape.

This could be a good method for cooking books, Sketchbooks and planers, too. Maybe the last thing is possibile by making a closing-thing with Kam Snap or elastic band at the end of the back cover!?

You should look up "atoma Alain Berteau" It's an official discbinder line but might give some inspiration for a different way of making your own

yes we are the SeaSubs!!!

ohhh...love this...my opinion is can you make a video that showing websites your getting design.please

I was unable to find the pen holder disc from your link. Do you have a current link? That is exactly what I need for my grandchildren!

ARC has covers that are the same weight as the dividers, so you don't have to cut the tab off.

Sea subs. I like it. :) I'm slowly watching all the videos. And once I catch up, I'll subscribe. :D

Dollar tree carries clear Contact paper. It works as a laminate

you can also use a folder and cut it into 2 for your cover

I love my disc binding system, but my biggest problem is sorting them. I will fill one up, and want to keep all the papers or notes inside, so instead of taking them out I just buy a new one. And these do not stack or sit well on a shelf, and they don't look that great o a shelf either... so, I was wondering if you could come up a with a way to bind these punched papers into a hardcover?

There's so much love here in the comment section. I'll give love too. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

So cool

I like the look of the Levenger circa pen holder discs but £37 for 11 😮 (with p and p)
