DIY Notepad

So today I have another DIY for you all! I love this DIY so much because not only is it super pretty but it's functional too! It's perfect for lists, reminders or to jot down ideas.

 



 you will need // coloured or patterned paper, cardboard, sheets of lined paper ( I used A5), PVA glue.

 Step 1 / / First cut your cardboard to fit you lined paper, mine's 21 x 13.5 cm to fit A5 paper. This will be your back of the notepad.

Step 2 / / Then cut your coloured paper to the width of the cardboard. Then put roughly half of the paper onto the front of the cardboard, and fold it over onto the back.

 Step 3 / / With your PVA glue stick the paper onto the back of the cardboard. Do not glue the front!

 

Step 4 / / Run a thin line of glue across the top of the sheets of paper and then press it under the flap of coloured paper on the front.

Step 5 / / Add some glue between the last sheet of paper and the cardboard and press down, this just adds some more stability.

Step 6 / / Grab some pegs or bulldog clips and clamp them to the top of the notepad. Leave this for 2-4 hours or until the glue dries.

And you're done! The glue that holds the sheets of paper together means that you can rip the pages out, and once you run out you can simply add more!
