Ideally, this book is going to be for an absolute beginner, not someone who is an established planner. If you're looking to get started in using a planner or you just want to see what the hype is about, this will be a good resource to you.

The book is divided into three main sections: Planner Basics, DIY Elements, Make Your Own Planner. I really liked the Planner Basics section because it really highlights Bullet Journaling, and that's something I haven't really incorporated into my planner but now I see why this might be a really helpful thing to do. I might start doing this in my planner... though some people have another planner dedicated to bullet journaling only, I don't think I'll get that intense with it.

What's really cool about this book is that this really encourages you to decorate your planner but not fall into the trap of stickers and purchased elements. It has several chapters on how to make your own washi tape, make your own page dividers (I loved these!), bookmarks, and more. I really loved the no hassel tassel and I really have to find my jar of random ribbon because I could definitely make some tassels with that. If you're feeling especially ambitious this book has an entire section on how to make your own planner or notebook using things you likely have just around the house.

If you're really struggling with a gift idea, this book is a pretty great resource perfect for any beginner!

Neat book with lots of ideas I liked and will try, even though I'm not a bullet journal-er.
Some of the ideas were too ambitious for me. But some were just neat crafty ideas.

This is more of a crafting book for planner accessories except for a brief introduction to setting up a bullet journal and instructions for building your own planner.

This is more of a crafting book. I bought this in hopes of getting inspiration for planner layouts. Probably go for someone curious about various types of planning

A very cool book showing how to make your own planner a variety of ways. Multiple contributors make this book very versatile and a good reference for just about anyone who wants to create a unique planner just for them.
One of the nice things that are included are the templates, however, there are only 4 - wish there were more!

read the first part about bullet journaling and skimmed through the rest. It’s about making an art journal not a functional journal…..glad it was a library book
