How To Put an Erin Condren Planner into a Kikki-K Planner


There she is! All snuggled up into the kikki-k Berry Planner!!! eeek!

The Tools Needed:

  • Strong fingers and arms for uncoiling! (pretty exhausting & tedious, but easy once you got it down) 
  • A paper cutter to trim pre punched holes that were coiled 
  • PaperPro Hole Punch about $5 (also came in purple, green & pink)
    • this one I couldn't find in stores but is only $1.99
    • works great, doesn't hurt and I did about 5 pages easily!
  • An A5 divider with holes to use as a template for hole punching

only took me an hour in all! Very easy!

Holes barely go into the weekly pages as seen here

Tabs
Side View (BIG planner problems)
 
Punched the folder and zip pouch as well

A little hard to shut with the whole erin condren inside, may have to take out some stuff


EEP! Only messed up on these 3 pages...no biggie though

 

How I Feel About it Now

Pros:

  • I love the feel of carrying around a leather planner
  • nothing feels "open" and I no longer feel like things may fall out
  • I love that I can add, rearrange and take out pages as I wish
  • The pages are easy to turn

Cons:

  • It is pretty packed, but then again I put in my "whole" eclp in there including covers, zip pouch and folder
  • hard to snap close
  • tabs stick out a bit

Overall:


I love it. It is more important to me to carry it around comfortably. I love the feel and how easy it is to turn the pages now. I probably will finish this year's erin condren planner then move into the kikki-k's inserts for next year. I am in love with the kikki-k. I love that I'm still able to use my erin condren though because I love her weekly layout and cute colors. But I am a DIY girl and I love to change things up so this is perfect for me!

Thanks for sharing. I am waiting for my erin condren planner to arrive (waiting impatiently) so I can use them in my mint kikki k.

This is so cool! Could you use the Erin Condren planner into a Filofax a5 planner? Also wondering if you can use the Kiki pages into the Filofax a5 planner. Thanks!

Maybe I missed it somewhere but I was wondering what size Kikki K you used? Personal? Large?

Their sizes are somewhat confusing but this is the large planner , known as their kikki-k berry personal planner but it's the same size as an A5

Thanks for this! I ordered my first EC planner last month but quickly realized that I need to be able to add pages. I fell in love with the kikki k gold planner and so it's on its way to me shortly! This looks easy and I'm not afraid of rehoming EC anymore :)
