DIY solution

I finally got a new Bible after a long, long time. It was a bitter sweet moment indeed; I had to let go of my old one, but it was exciting to choose a more mature Bible now that I'm all grown up ;)

I love the sleek, feminine look and it's super light and easy to carry. The soft, leather cover just adds to it's appeal. However, I faced a small problem - I couldn't find a cover to fit it but I need one to hold my notebook and pen. And then, the light bulb over my head lit up! I thought I would add an elastic to hold the cover down (so I could store my notebook under the front cover) and attach a ribbon for the pen on the back cover. Voila! Problem solved :)

I covered up the ugly ends of the elastic with some patterned backing paper.

Happy DIYing!
