How to make a Leather Moleskin Journal Cover

In this video, I show you how to make a leather Moleskin Journal Cover. I am a HUGE fan of journals and notebooks... to the point that I probably have way too many in the shop. I have to write everything down or I won't remember it.

My favorite journals are made by Moleskin. These journals come in many different sizes as well as types of paper. This project video shows you how to make a leather cover for my favorite Moleskin notebook. The name of the one from Moleskin that I use is "Moleskine Classic Soft Cover Notebook" and the size is 5" x 8.25".

These notebook covers are a lot of fun to make and don't take as much time as other projects. They also make great gift ideas or products to offer to your customers.
