Eachnotebook has thirty sheets/sixty sides of lined paper and the lines are printed in light grey with 6mm spacing. The pages are then stitched, and tape bound, each notebook is bound in a different colour tape.

My experience of Muji paper has been hit and miss where issues such as bleed through are concerned and as their product range can change quite quickly I have learnt the hard way that when you find what you think is a good notebook in Muji, you buy one and test it and if it passes the ink tests then work out how many you think you need, double it and go back the next day and buy them.


Turned out I was wrong; Muji are not offsetting the trees that go to make the paper but are, in fact, planting and growing trees specifically to make the paper and Muji state that this requires less chemical usage and produces less C02 than recycled paper.


I reached for my bottle of Diamine Oxford Blue and a Q-Tip and set to work testing the paper with both a swab test and written test. The first thing you notice is how smooth the paper is and because of this I expected longer than average drying times, however, the ink dried quickly and there was no feathering or general absorption that you would expect with inexpensive paper.


These are great notebooks and they are excellent quality and value and are perfect for projects at home, at work or at college; and being fountain pen friendly means they should be suitable for use with most pens except Sharpies; it seems nothing is Sharpie proof!

I used 75 square ft rolls that were 2 ft wide. I think it took about 4 rolls! Building the bag takes a lot of room so make sure you lay it out in an area with plenty of floor space, or even outside. Also, to save your fingers, wear gloves. I remember having so many paper cuts that week it hurt to type!


Beginning in 2024, our new partnership with veritree continues that mission of reforestation and global forest conservation efforts by ensuring the sustainability and transparency of timber products. Through their blockchain technology, veritree can prevent illegal logging and promote responsible forestry practices. This new collaboration has planted another 800,000 trees in Kenya, with over 197,00 tonnes of CO2 to be sequestered as of April 2024.

This year I made glittered paper snowflakes from doilies for my Christmas tree. For my kitchen, I made paper Christmas tree chains to trim the open shelves that showcase my collection of white dishes and pitchers.


Darling garland. Easy too. Love the Rudolph towel. My sons middle name is Rudolph after grandfathers. I am always on the lookout. Found a darling crocheted ornament this year at Crate and Barrel. Check it out??


I endeavour to be frank and truthful in what I write, show or otherwise present, when I relate my first-hand experiences that are not independently verifiable; and link to third-party content where I can, when I make a claim or refute a statement of fact in a thread. If there is something you can verify for yourself, I entreat you to do so, and judge for yourself what is right, correct, and valid. I may be wrong, and my position or say-so is no more authoritative and carries no more weight than anyone else's here.


I just bought their new 3 pack composition type planting notebooks in letter size. I was at the Hudson Yards location and liked them but they were heavy to carry around with me. Ordered them online and waiting for them to arrive. Reasonable price but sought off steep shipping and delays expected.


but, as with inks and pens, one cannot draw blanket conclusions across one category of products of a brand when it comes to paper. Even different Rhodia paper products perform differently when written/drawn on with fountain pens.


Absorbent and sturdy enough to get to work on heavy spills, kitchen messes and cleanup needs. These tree-free bamboo paper towels are strong enough for any spill. Made from soft & sustainable bamboo, not trees! Free of chlorine bleaching and chemicals, too. 2-ply bamboo paper towels with 75 sheets per roll. 8 rolls per box. Total of 600 sheets.


The paper industry clear cuts 1,000,000 acres of North American boreal forest each year. While trees may be replanted (and re-cut) the forest is gone forever. Bamboo is one of the fastest growing, least needy grasses on the planet. Bamboo uses a fraction of the water to grow and produce. And, bamboo does not require chemical pesticides or herbicides to grow and thrive. Daily decisions like choosing Caboo do make a difference. We and the forest thank you!


Brilliant! Next year I'll be needing to make new ones. Ours have gotten pretty beat up. I will definitely remember this idea. I also carried sack lunches to school. Now that you mentioned it, I remember the grease spots, too ?


Love these!! They are perfect for my fairy play mat (silver penny patterns) I did one as shown and adapted the pattern for a gnome play matt for the boys

Redrawing the pattern to including a river and felted rocks (also from this site) Wish I had this resource years ago when my kids were little. Keep up the good work.


Our wee ones grab the gnarly trees and place them around the gnome home in the Fall. Such a simple project but they are dynamic. My are getting a bit limp from being played with so much. Think I'll need a new batch this Autumn.

So you need to cut your floral wire long enough to make the roots and the branches. Most of my trees are about 7 inches long with the trunk about 3-4 inches tall. That means you add 1-2 inches for the branches and roots.


On the Cherry Blossom Tree it's not as necessary to trim any exposed wire ends because you can just glue blossoms on the ends of the branches. Still I like to trim them just so the branches won't poke somebody.


If you look at tree bark closely, you notice that there is a lot of dimension, depth, and color variation in the bark. To mimic that color variation, I layer the paint starting with lighter colors gradually moving to darker ones just like I do when I paint a stone texture.


For the second option you can use the crepe paper streamers you buy at a paper store or dollar store. This paper is easier to work with than tissue paper and is still very inexpensive. But it is also a bit fragile.


What is the best option? It's a higher quality crepe paper that has more weight and body to it. Since this crepe paper twists beautifully and doesn't tear as readily, it is much easier to work with. I ordered it online since I didn't have a local store to purchase from.


Just twist your crepe paper in the middle and now you have two leaves. Because of the twist, it makes an oval shape like a regular leaf. And the wrinkles in the crepe paper mimic the veins on the leaves.


I experimented a little bit here. For this step I found the easiest way to make the blossoms for our springtime paper tree is to just cut a small rectangle of crepe paper and just roll it into a ball. It makes a very convincing little blossom with no stressful fussy cutting or folding.


Plop down a blob of glue in the center of the pair of leaves and place the blossom in the glue. That's really all there is to it. Now you can be as picky as you want about tucking in edges of the paper, but I don't worry it. After all this is still a twisted tree - not some precise work of art.


This is the easiest step of all. Just glue your blossoms wherever you think they are needed on your little Springtime twisted tree. For this step you can totally cover the tree with a burst of blooms or just add a few blossoms. Now it's all up to you.


So you have finished your Easy DIY Cherry Blossom tree! What to do with it? Use it around one of your little glitter houses, your Easter decor, or even to decorate a cake. You'll find that people just like to look at it.
