Select Your Template Format

Make your own Tri-Fold Traveler-style leather notebook covers with this precision-cut acrylic template set. This bundle includes templates for Standard, Passport, and Pocket sizes, giving you three popular notebook formats in the unique tri-fold configuration.

The Tri-Fold design puts a non-traditional spin on the classic Traveler-style notebook cover, creating a three-panel, wraparound format similar to the multi-panel journal style popularized by Louise Carmen. Each size is designed around readily available notebook inserts, so you can build the more distinctive tri-fold style without being tied to a proprietary refill.

Each template features the standard 3-cord configuration, with the center line also usable on its own for a simple single-cord setup. 2-cord versions with their own hole configuration are also included, along with both rounded and square corner options.

Simply trace the template onto your leather and punch the marked holes for accurate, consistent results. Buying the complete set gives you all three sizes at a discount compared with purchasing the templates individually.

Elastic cord is not included. We recommend using 1.5 or 2mm for the notebook and closure cords.

Standard Hole Pattern

Our standard hole pattern gives you the most flexibility. Use the center line for a simple single-cord closure, or use all three lines for a 3-cord configuration.

2-Cord Hole Pattern

Prefer a 2-cord configuration? This version uses a dedicated hole pattern designed specifically for a 2-cord setup.

Rounded or Square Corners

Choose between rounded or square corners to customize the look of your cover. Rounded corners follow the default corner radius for each specific pattern size.

Why use an acrylic template?

Paper templates can work for a project or two, but an acrylic template gives you a rigid guide for consistent results every time. The solid acrylic edge lets you press firmly against it while tracing, cutting, or marking your leather without the template bending or tearing.

When you're making multiple pieces, the reusable template lets you trace and mark each one quickly, making batch production faster.
