So anyway, moving forward, look at the new beauty that I have: an ochre pocket Malden! It's so gorgeous and the leather is phenomenal.
I puchased this planner because I started feeling that my Filofax Mini was getting too small for me and I wasn't really using it to its function anymore. So here, I am going to share with you how I was able set it up as my wallet. Here are most of the things I used for the main set up.
I found a cheap multi ID holder at National Bookstore for only Php20.25. So that's 4 card slots for the entire ID holder and each slot can also carry 2 cards at a time. I'm not sure what this size really is but it's a great size for pocket sized planners. I simply cut the top side, aligned it to a pocket envelope in my planner to mark the holes and punched using a handy one-hole punch.
After getting the card slots ready, I started preparing some dividers for my wallet. I have this American Crafts Just Write recipe cards that is also the perfect size for a pocket sized planner. I also love that the tabs are in different shapes.
This was much easier to prepare than the card slots because my Muji Travel puncher easily punched through it.
Now that my dividers are ready, I can prepare the inserts that I am going to use for it. I bought a 100 piece grid papers from Muji for only Php175 and it seemed perfect to make into inserts. Muji has nice paper quality and there is usually no bleed through with their papers. I cut my paper to 3.05" x 5" with my Recollections paper trimmer but that is only my preferred size because I didn't want my inserts to peek through my recipe card dividers.
I also easily punched through 3-4 sheets of paper with my Muj travel puncher.
The puncher is really perfect for travel because I can even put it in the back slip pocket of my Malden.
Last but not the least, more inserts!
I stamped on the intended scratch pages with my StudioL2e stamps. I'll get you a better picture next time.
And my Mommylhey Doodles Chores set for tracking bills.
That's it! My wallet is now all set up for use. I'll probably add more inserts and label the divisions along the way but I'm already quite satisfied with how it looks like as of now. I hope you enjoyed reading through my set up! Are you also using a Filofax binder as wallet or have intentions of using one? Do tag me on my Instagram @lionachinky when you do.
