Review: Daiso A5 6 ring inserts


Daiso keeps coming out with amazing stationery. 
6 ring binder journals are really popular and so these inserts are extremely useful.

I picked up 4 of the designs (I'm not sure if there are more):

1. Card holder x 4
2. Double sided folder x 4
3. Pocket case x 2 
4. Clear file x 4


Each insert fits a standard A5 6 ring binder, however the width is more slim A5 than a standard A5 width. 

The card holder is double sided and holds 6 cards or as shown above, a set of kitta washi labels. 


The double sided folder is perfect for an A4 document folded into 1/3.
Also great for travel items like tickets! 


The pocket case has 2 pockets for things like flake stickers and even important items such as keys and medicine.



The clear file is my favourite of the inserts.
Each insert has 10 pockets and fits standard width sticker sheets. 

The customisability of the 6 ring binder is one of the reasons it is so popular and having many choices for inserts just sweetens the deal. 

These Daiso inserts are a perfect addition to any 6 ring binder. 
They fit the 6 ring binder perfectly and are not flimsy like other inserts. 

The A5 slim sizing might make it a bit difficult but you could easily move it around or remove it, making it versatile. I would definitely recommend this insert to anyone with a 6 ring binder. 

Which one do you think you would like the most?

DIY Tutorial + bonus free printable : Make your own clear pencil case

If you have been looking around on stationery instagram accounts in Japan, you must have noticed this clear pencil case everyone appears to have. 

Want one too? 
Good news, you don't have to fly to Japan to purchase it, you can easily make your own at home.
Here's what you need!
  1. A5 Soft card Case
  2. Clip
  3. Stickers to decorate

All you need to do is insert your pens and roll the end up. Use the clip to hold it together!
To decorate it, get another piece of plastic (I cut mine from the packaging of the case XD) and stick your stickers on. 

Once you finished decorating it, insert the plastic into the pencil case! It will also help keep the pen case in shape when you toss it into your bag.

Easy and looks great in photos!
And to get you started, I am sharing a printable of the stickers I used!

(Only available till 10th July 2020)
