2mm Elastic Shock Cord for Traveller's Notebooks & Crafts

Superior quality 2mm elastic shock cord, available in over 30 colours, carefully selected for durability, recoil, and colour. After years of making handmade traveller's notebooks, I've chosen this round elastic cord for its ideal balance of stretch, strength, and ease of restringing.

Perfect for Traveller's Notebook covers, refillable journals, planners, bookbinding, and DIY craft projects, this durable elastic features a natural latex rubber core with a protective polyester sheath. It holds notebook inserts securely without feeling overly stiff, making it an excellent choice for replacing worn notebook elastics or creating your own refillable journal.

Choose from 3m, 5m, and 10m lengths, mix-and-match colour bundles, curated seasonal palettes, and bulk quantities. Whether you're repairing a favourite notebook or stocking up for your next creative project, find the colours and quantities you need.

CURIOUS ABOUT ELASTIC?

Can I use this to restring a Traveller's Notebook?

Rowsome Leather's 2mm elastic cord is ideal for restringing Traveller's Notebooks, replacing worn journal closure elastics, and repairing refillable notebook binding systems. Its flexible construction makes it easy to thread through notebook covers, tie securely, and adjust to your preferred tension.

This elastic is also compatible with most Midori-style, Traveler's Company–style, and other refillable notebook systems using 2mm elastic.
How much elastic do I need?

Most Traveller's Notebook covers require only a few metres depending on size and stringing method. If you're unsure, my stringing guide will help you determine the correct length.

Is this the same elastic used in Rowsome Leather notebooks?

Yes. I spent a lot of time searching for the best quality elastic for my products, and now I can share it with you!
What size elastic cord is best for Traveller's Notebooks?

2mm round elastic shock cord is an excellent choice for Traveller's Notebooks and refillable journal covers. It provides a balance of stretch, strength, and flexibility, holding notebook inserts securely without being overly stiff. It's the same size and style of elastic I use in my own handmade leather Traveller's Notebooks.
What is the difference between elastic shock cord and regular elastic?

Elastic shock cord, sometimes called bungee cord, has a stretchy rubber core surrounded by a protective woven sheath. Unlike flat sewing elastic, round shock cord is well suited for notebook binding systems, journal closures, and craft projects that require a durable, flexible cord. Rowsome Leather's 2mm shock cord features a natural latex rubber core with a polyester outer sheath.
What colours and lengths of 2mm elastic cord are available?

Rowsome Leather offers over 30 colours of 2mm round elastic cord, including neutrals, earthy tones, bright colours, and soft pastels. Choose from 3-metre, 5-metre, and 10-metre lengths, as well as mix-and-match bundles, curated colour palettes, and bulk options. Availability may vary by colour and collection.
Where can I buy 2mm elastic shock cord in Canada?

You can purchase 2mm elastic shock cord online from Rowsome Leather, a Canadian-owned independent leatherworking studio. Our elastic is stocked and sold from Canada, with a wide selection of colours and lengths suitable for Traveller's Notebooks, journaling, bookbinding, and creative projects.
