Easy Tear Off DIY Notepad

Hello friends! Today I am sharing a really simple project for all of us who love to create lists.  A DIY notepad with tear off sheets!  

DIY Notepad

I am a list maker.  Grocery lists, To-do lists, Honey-Do lists.  You get the picture.  It seems I am always looking for a notepad so I decided to create a printable (available in the VIP Printable Library for subscribers).

Now, you could just cut sheets of paper the same size, but a pretty notepad makes creating lists so much better don’t you think!

Tear Off DIY Notepad in 4 Easy Steps:

  • Download printable from VIP printable library (available to subscribers) or use any paper of your choice
  • Print 10 to 20 sheets (depending on how thick you want your notepad
  • If using the printable, cut each sheet in half.  I used this cutter from Fiskers
  • Stack the sheets evenly and applying pressure to the top of the notepad, brush Alymer’s Rubber Cement along the top edge in 2 or three coats ensuring the entire top edge is coated well.  Allow to Dry

A few tips….

  • I used an old cutting board to elevate the stack of notepad sheets to make it easier to brush the top edge with the rubber cement
  • Protect your work surface.  The rubber cement is quite runny and drips may happen
  • Feel free to make your DIY notepad with as many pages as you like

    Hi Maureen! Love your notepad idea!!! I always keep one on the refrigerator door for the weekly grocery list, plus having notepads around are perfect for making lists ~ something I do a lot nowadays. 🙂

    Happily pinning to my DIY Projects and tweeted, too.
    Hugs,
    Barb 🙂
