A5 craft planner inserts for projects, supplies, budget and handmade gifts

A5 craft planner inserts to print at home: 26 undated pages for A5 ring binders, Half Letter binders and discbound planners that help you plan every make, follow projects from idea to done, keep a supply inventory and get handmade gifts ready in time. You receive an A5 PDF and a Half Letter PDF, and print-and-cut A4 and Letter files are included, each fitting two pages on one sheet. It is an instant download, so nothing is mailed.

Less scattered notes, fewer half-finished projects, and a calm overview of everything on your craft table.

How the A5 craft planner keeps your makes on track

Every new project gets its own two-page spread: the basics, a box for inspiration, 9 circles for color swatches, a 12 row materials list showing quantity, have, need and cost, plus tools, time and money. After that come 16 numbered steps and a time log that ends with a space for a photo of the finished piece.

A tracker with a status key and a log of finished makes with heart ratings show at a glance what is underway, what is stuck waiting for supplies and what is already done. Two inventory pages with a three-square stock gauge, a wish list, a shopping list and a craft budget with a full year overview nudge you to use what you own first. The pages carry no dates, so you can reprint the project spread for each sewing, knitting, paper craft or DIY piece.

Who these craft inserts are for

• Owners of an A5 6-ring binder, a Half Letter binder or a junior discbound planner who would like a section just for crafting
• Sewists, knitters, crocheters and quilters with several projects on the go and a stash that keeps growing
• Paper crafters, card makers, painters and DIY fans who want ideas, supplies and spending together
• Makers who love giving handmade gifts and want to begin weeks ahead instead of the night before

Design, sizes and printing

• Clean, elegant pages: white with soft blush pink accents that use very little ink
• Roomy margins, so nothing is trimmed on a home printer
• Portrait inserts in A5 (148 x 210 mm) and Half Letter (5.5 x 8.5 in), plus print-and-cut sheets for A4 and US Letter paper
• No dates, so you can begin on any day of any year
• Mirrored margins: 14 mm at the binding edge, which sits on the left of odd pages and the right of even pages, with 8 mm along the outside
• Each print-and-cut sheet has a dashed line down the middle and small cut ticks, so a single cut gives two pages
• Without A5 or Half Letter paper, print the print-and-cut file on A4 or US Letter at 100%, landscape, and cut along the dashed line. For true spreads, print the A5 or Half Letter file double-sided, flipping on the long edge
• Use it in a binder or on a clipboard, or have it spiral bound at a print shop

• Personal use only. Please do not share, resell or redistribute the files.
• Digital files cannot be returned. If something does not open or print correctly, email us and we will help right away.

• The budget pages are a simple way to track your own craft spending and are not financial advice.
