Moleskine duct tape pen holder

Here's a quick and easy way to add a pen holder to your notebook:

"The one thing missing from my Moleskine was a pen holder. I made this one from black duct tape, and it looks pretty authentic. Not rocket science I know, but I am pleased with it."

I'd be hesitant to trust an expensive pen to that. ;-)

Not had any problems myself. For extra security an additional strip of tape down the length of the pocket makes it pretty bombproof.

Wow - he is charging $10 for them. I clearly missed a trick there! I'm not sure I would have the nerve to charge for something that take 5 minutes to make yourself.
