When I travel with my planner I like to use a special pen in it. So I thought a pen loop would be a nice addition to my planner. That way I could always have a pen with me when I need to jot something down.
The Happy Planner sells a
pen holder that you can attach to your planner but I didn't want something permanently stuck on. I liked the idea of being able to remove it when I didn't need it. So I choose to use a binder clip and elastic ribbon to create my own.
The supplies I used were a binder clip, elastic ribbon hair ties, scissors, hot glue gun and pen of choice.
The first thing I did was select the elastic ribbon I wanted to use. I bought this 5 pack at the Dollar Tree and choose the black with white polka dots to match my planner. I cut a straight end and hot glued it to one side of the binder clip.
Then I placed my pen next to the clip and wrapped the elastic around to see how long it needed to be. I cut the elastic, then hot glued the other side.
I slid my pen in and then attached the clip to the cover of my planner! Now you are ready to plan on the go with your favorite pen! {BTW I'm currently using a black Paper Mate ink joy gel .7....and I love it!}
