Step-by-Step Guide: Applying your Planner Tabs

Lots of you have been asking how to add the termly and monthly tabs to your planner. Here are some step-by-step guides to help you, whether you have an A4 or B5 planner.

How to Apply Monthly Planner Tabs (A4)

1. Mark out 2.7cm from the top and bottom of your chosen page (we recommend the first weekly page of the month).

2. Each tab is 1cm, so mark out 1cm spaces for tabs and spaces between the top and bottom marks.

3. Peel off your first tab and stick it in the first 1cm space.

4. Fold it over, then find your next page to stick a tab on. (Top tip: use something to mark the next page so you know where to place your tab.)

5. Leave the following gap (1cm), then line up and stick the next tab.

6. Repeat for each month, leaving a gap between each tab — and voilà!
