French Ruled Paper insert that you can print and DIY at home. I wanted to improve my handwriting when journalling so I went ahead and made this insert. Help improve your own handwriting by following the French Rule Paper system!
This listing is for an A5 booklet (print on A4 then fold in half) or for a US Letter size page folded in half. Please note that if your printer cannot print to edges there will be a thin border of white!
Also please note that if a US Letter size paper is folded in half it is not wide enough to be A5, but it is a little bit taller. If you can only print on letter sized paper, but want as close to A5 as you can then please print the A4 file on Letter paper, then trim to the cut marks. Your booklet will not be quite wide enough, but it will be the right height.

HOW TO DIY IT?
Print the 12 pages double sided (you print 6 sheets of paper). Make sure your printer is set to double-sided, flip on the short edge, actual size (100%). Once printed fold the paper in half to make a booklet, using the lines as a guide. Then trim the booklet using the guidelines. Cover with cardstock to make your insert more rigid. You can also staple or stitch the fold if you wish but it isn't always necessary! Note: if you want a thinner or thicker insert just print more or fewer pages.
A4 OR LETTER SIZE?
Either! This item has both print on A4 and print on Letter options.
WHAT PAPER DO I NEED?
Use paper which you will feel good about quality-wise. I just use normal printer paper but you might want to purchase archival quality paper or artist paper if your journal needs to remain in pristine condition, or if you plan to use heavy inks. You might also want to source cardstock or scrapbook paper to make a cover for the insert.
WHAT ELSE DO I NEED?
A printer which can handle the paper you've selected, that can print double-sided, and can print at a decent quality finish. You'll also need scissors or a craft knife and ruler to trim the booklet.

DISCLAIMER:
Our digital download products are designed at 300 dots (pixels) per inch which is the industry standard for clear printing. However if your printer isn't that precise the image may appear differently. If you have an old printer and the files don't print out well then we suggest sending the files to your local printer - it's often cheaper than you might think!
