A little nervous beginning this tutorial, I Love doing all things craft but sometimes the costs can be quite daunting. So this year I am trying to use what I have to enjoy my crafting obsession. My husband gets lots of end of year gifts from his suppliers in particular notepads . I took these notepads and turned them into pretty gifts. I plan on donating them to my son's school for the mother's day stall.
My Raw Material
I then went about with some wave pattern craft scissors and took the logo off the bottom . I saved these for a further project.
I then cut out two pieces of plain paper to line the inside of the note pad. Good quality printer paper worked best as other paper I had was to thick and made the notebooks buckle.Using clear gum secured the paper to the inside trimming off any excess with scissors.
Once lined, the fun and creativity began . Scrapbook paper and embellishments at hand I set about covering the notepad.
I used clear gum i attached the paper and trimmed any excess and then using some tags and brads added a label.
The final product. Overall I made eight of them with varying paper and embellishments of ribbon, hand made flowers
You now ask what happen to those strips of paper that came of the bottom of the notepads.Up cycled to gift bows
