does anyone know how to make notepads? Like the ones you put on the refridgerator?

Question

shopping lists, to do lists, etc. The long narrow kind, or sticky notes?

Answer 1

"Open your favorite computer program and design your note pad page. Use an 8 1/2" X 11" page horizontally and divide into thirds.

Design each page using your favorite graphic, or monogram. You could eve make this into a "shopping list".

Print enough pages to make your note pad. If you print 40 pages, you will have a 120 page note pad.

Using a paper cutter, cut the pages into thirds. Cut a piece of cardboard the same size.

Stack all the memo pages going the same direction. Hold the tablet by the top and tap to get everything lined up correctly.

Use a piece of wax paper larger than the tablets as your work surface.

Place the cut paper sheets on top of the cardboard that has been cut to size. Make certain the sheets are even on the top end.

Place a heavy book(s) on top of the tablet leaving about 1/2" or less of the top end of the sheets exposed.

Using a paintbrush, paint glue along the exposed end. Be sure to coat liberally. Let dry overnight. Remove book and trim excess glue off if necessary. You may want to add a large magnet to the back so you can place on the refrigerator."

Answer 2

There's loads of info on making your own notepads with "padding compound" or glues on this page:

(... click on NOTEPADS when you get there...)

You can use a stack of papers (which you may have decorated or not) to make notepads --in any size or shape you want-- or you can even made pads from stacks of photos, or recipe cards, etc.


As for sticky notes, the only way to do that is to use a "repositionable" or "temporary" adhesive on the back of each sheet ... you can buy those as sprays, or as "glue" sticks, or putties (like Blue Tac, etc.), or just use 2-sided tape, etc.
Using those things would be more work though than making a pad.
