DIY Mormon Mom/ Mom On The Go Planner Cover

Like any girl I like to accessorize, and change things up. One thing that I have wanted is a way to change the cover of my Mormon Mom Planner. I get bored easily, and just needed it to look different. I bought <gasp> an Erin Condren Life Planner because I craved new looks. I have since amended my ways since discovering how to make your own cover. I am so excited to share how I made mine, and to let you know what I've learned with this first go around.

What you need:

• Scissors
• Paper trimmer (optional)
• 1/8th hole puncher
• Mormon Mom Planner Ruler, or original cover.
• Laminator (optional, if you take to a store you can have it laminated there)
• 4 Laminating pouches (I used 3 or 5 mil and double laminated; I'd suggest a 10 mil)
• Vis a vis marker (dry erase works too)
• Ruler
• Printer
• Computer

Pretty much the process is as follows:

1. Find an image be it a picture, something you created, or pretty much anything (if you want double sided find 4 images)
2. Print pictures.
3. Cut picture to size: 32 cm (height) by 15 cm (width).
4. Place front and back of front cover in laminating sheet.
5. Put through laminator (make sure laminator has warmed up, and is ready to go).
6. Put another laminating sheet over what was laminated and do it again.
7. Repeat steps 4-6 for back cover.
8. Cut leaving 1 cm of lamination to the left of image for the front cover. Leave 1 cm of lamination on the right side for the back cover.
9. Using an Mormon Mom Planner ruler mark where the holes will need to be punched with your vis a vis marker. I used an Erin Condren insert instead since I don't have a MMP ruler yet.
10. Punch holes with 1/8th hole puncher where marks are made.
11. With scissors cut from left to hole punch. Finish for length needed.
12. Take cover, and using scissors push each nob between rings, and voila your cover is on. (Repeat steps 9-11 for back cover).

If you're visual like me then view the videos, and if you find me annoying mute me. Hope this helps you fall back in love with your planner.

*I have learned that now I'll use a 10 mil laminating pouch because doubling on lamination causes the nobby things that attach to the planner to separate, and it isn't all it could be.
