How to make a desktop writing set with a journal

Make a template as show on the picture

Used the paper pad cover for the stand and drawer chest. Best with 3 or 4 layers. I used 3 and one inside under the drawer

When my roll of Xyron is empty i save the rolls. Used 2 of the large on this set and painted the inside black.Glue hinges on both sides of the stand.

Cover theoutside of the rolls with washi tape.

Use the template for the Typography paper.Glue hinges on both sides on the stand bottom.
