Make your own scratch pad and never search for a piece of paper to write on a again.
Making your own scratch pads allows you the opportunity to decorate them with any words, colors or designs you want to add. They are simple to make at home and can be designed in any size you like. Keep your homemade scratch pads near the telephone, in the kitchen or on your desk in your home office so that you never have to search for something to write on again
Instructions
1. Create a scratch pad template on one sheet of paper. Cut letters out of old magazines, or use rubber stamps to design a decorative accent along one side of the paper template.
2. Make a copy of the template on to any size paper you desire. Use a photocopier or scanner and printer to print several copies of the design.
3. Cut a sheet of chipboard or thin cardboard to the same size as the paper you have chosen using a paper cutter or scissors.
4. Lay the printed paper in a neat stack on top of the chipboard or cardboard sheet. Make sure all sides of the paper and chipboard are in line with each other and place a binding clip on each side of the stack, near the top, to secure them together.
5. Pour a small amount of liquid glue on to a scrap piece of paper. Use a paint brush to "paint" a thick line of glue across the top edge of the stack of paper. Allow the glue to dry and remove the binding clips before using.
