Jotter Pad Tutorial

A great and inexpensive way to turn supermarket basic brand note pads into something really special 🙂

My daughter came up to the workshop to print off her English homework whilst I was making these, she thought they looked great and were a fab idea.   She now wants to make some to give to her friends and her gran at christmas.

Here’s the tutorial…

• Take a supermarket own brand jotter pad 210mm x 73mm ( this one cost 37p)
• Cut some patterned cardstock / paper to the same size 210mm x 73mm
• Put a strip of double sided tape along the top edge

• Cut the top sheet off but leave the top canvass strip attached.

• Remove the double sided tape from your coloured paper/cardstock and place it under the blue tab that’s left and press down to adhere.

• I then took a strip of cardstock, punched the edge with a Fiskars punch and fixed to the jotter with double sided tape.

• The I added a some co-ordinating self adhesive strip from the pack

• Added the word notes from the self adhesive alpha letters

• Added a couple of self adhesive hearts and a gem

• All done…. here’s the finished project

Finally the supplies list :-

• 1 x cheap jotter pad
• Basic Grey Nook & Pantry Collection
• Prima e-line gem
• double sided tape
