I took the book to Officeworks (like an Australian Staples) and for $1.00 they guillotined the pages where I marked.

Elastic

I wound the elastic around a thin part of the pencil, then used another piece of elastic to make a knot holding it together.

Glue

I like to use toothpicks to mix and place the glue, it gives me a bit more control.

Ribbon

I cut the ribbon too wide and had to keep cutting.

Finished

This is the finished book, the pencil fits perfectly so it's easy to use. This was a birthday present for my friend Richard to take with him and bring art into his day.
