Homemade Journals

See how to make and add diy notebook labels to these simple diy notebooks I made a while ago. These notebooks, or journals, can be used in a number of ways and make me feel so organized! My go-to project books for any type of planning, and you might want to use them too! But first make sure to scroll down to print the free notebook tags templates.

I designed them a long time ago but they have no year stamped - use for any year, any date!

How about a homemade journal for all your new year resolutions? Or a notebook for those yummy Christmas recipes that now lie scattered on your desk? Or a cute little notebook for your kid to doodle in, just because?

I'll show you how to make a quick notebook, and create cute notebook labels - actually, just use my free templates, print them out, and done! Here's an example of tags I made by hand,. but it's quicker if you print a batch of my free templates (no-year indicated!)

How To Add Cute Diy Notebook Tags

You can make several of these notebooks in no time. Once done, add whatever you prefer. I tried to give them a unique touch by adding tags, you'll decide if that works for you and how you want them. I started out by drawing them myself like the ones below but was looking for a way to have them made in batch. But...

I did not want just the plain store-bought ones. I like to print my notebook tags on different paper colors, for one. So I made me some printable templates I can print on any paper color I want.

You can use them too!

Simply print these templates I made for you in Canva and simply glue them on the notebooks! Even faster:
