Folio all laced and ready to go? >

Pick a notebook and open it up to the centrefold >

Now slip it under the inner-most lace >

Close the notebook and pull to tighten.

For your second notebook, you should have one really long inner loop to utilise >

Repeat the process of opening a notebook to its centrefold, then slipping it beneath your remaining lace >

Keep it open.

Here’s the tricky bit.

I want you to criss-cross that lace in the centrefold; like you would a hair tie when you’re trying to make a ponytail >

This is going to make a new loop.

Now stretch that loop over the front cover of your notebook >

That's it. All the way over until its snug against the spine of your notebook >

Look at that, a new space ready for a notebook!

Let’s pick a third notebook and open to the centrefold >

Now slip it under the remaining exposed lace, all the way and close >

Ta-da! Your folio is ready to use >

To close your folio, wrap the outside elastic around the belly.

Go back to that second notebook, the one where you criss-crossed the laces. You’ll notice you have 2 laces inside this one >

I want you to twist those laces around each other, then give one a pull to tighten. This is going to anchor the laces at the top and bottom >

Which means you can now pull one of them out, and over the back cover of your notebook >

Ta-da! A fourth space.
