Let’s take a closer look…
Comprising of a transparent plastic, marked with page divisions both horizontally and vertically. It is punched with holes at the division points, which can be used to divide your page.
The Grid Guide is available in two variations, depending on what size of journal you intend to use it with: A5 and B5.
The Grid Guide is designed to be used to divide a full A5 or B5 page into columns/rows.
Comprising of a clear transparent plastic, marked with page divisions horizontally. The Grid Ruler contains a checkbox stencil across the top, and notches that mark out specific distances (5-10 box spaces) across the bottom.
The Grid Guide is available in two variations, depending on what style of page layout you prefer; Spaces between boxes and no spaces between boxes.
The Grid Ruler is designed to visualise how you can divide a space on a page. This space can be varied in size from A6 to A4 in width, and can be an incomplete page (ie if you have removed part of the page to create a dutch door).
Use the pre-measured notches to create boxes where you already know the size (for example a monthly habit tracker is 7 boxes wide by 5 boxes tall).
The checkbox cut out at the top is a handy addition to help you create quick task lists.
