My
craft notebook uses Wire-O binding. I like it because it doesn't crush easily, and it allows me to open the notebook flat.
But my favorite benefit of using a Wire-O bound notebook is that you can easily move pages around. This is the only reason I can use notebooks for things like this, otherwise I'd have to use binders because I HAVE to be able to add pages in the middle.
Especially for my crafty planning. It would be ridiculous and cramp my style if I had to estimate how many pages I needed in between each month for all my sketches and ideas for the whole year. This way, I can add as many or as few pages as I need as I go along.
Here's how you do it!
First, cut the page with an Exacto in between each of the sets of wire loops.
Next, while holding the top of the page, pull up and toward the bottom of the notebook (see arrow) to remove it. It should easily come right out of the notebook without tearing or bending any of the tabs you just created.
Last, use a pointed and blunt object to gently tuck each tab back into the notebook where you want the page to be.
You can move the page around a lot as long as you are careful not to rip up or bend the tabs that hold the page into the notebook.
I used to use this technique to move my "hot list" of to do items from day to day when I used a Wire-O note book to track my lists. You can even make mini-pages with notes or warnings or inspirational sayings that you can snap into your notebook. They are mini so they don't obscure the whole page below it ...
