How to make a DIY notepad:

 

1. Print out a few copies of your free printable lunch box notes. I worked with 5 sheets.

2. Attach them using Washi tape or clips. Try to tape in the spots where you’ll be cutting – so that they are still connected once you cut.

3. Start slicing your notes! I re-taped it halfway through so that the individual stacks of notes are separate.

First separate the two vertical rows.

Then separate the notes from each row separately (simply because if you stack the right and left row together it won’t line up perfectly… and it’s better to work with a smaller stack at once.)

4. Stack all your notes together, making sure that they align at the top.

5. Secure the stack with binder clips.

6. Apply a generous layer of Mod Podge at the top. I really dabbed/let it pool, but if you want you can simply do multiple (thick) layers.

7. If you want to make a cover, simply measure a piece of cardstock. Place the pad and mark the corners. Then measure the top part/thickness (but be generous with your space). And then mark the height of the pad again.

8. Cut out your cover. Score the folds using the dull side of a utility knife.

9. Apply glue (I just used some more Mod Podge) to your last page and glue it down. If you want (and if you’re giving this as a gift) you can trim the bottom edge so that the pages all line up neatly. I plan to use these personally so I didn’t…

    1. Never mind – for some reason, after I posted a comment, they became clickable. Don’t know what the problem was… 🙁

  1. Wow these are amazing! So cute! Thank you so much for sharing these adorable printables with us. Using Mod Podge on the top is genius! I wanted to ask you about that part, does each note rip away nicely using the MP? I love this idea. Not only for my own personal use but I want to make some for my sons teachers 💕❤️ 🐝One more quick question, I have two boys ages 6 and 3 and they both have autism. I got into paper crafting because I was wanting to make Autism Awareness thank you gifts for there teachers and therapists. Now I’m hooked and I love making goodies bags/boxes/mini albums. Do you have any autism awareness printables that I can use for these projects? Thanks again. I love your site. I really appreciate all that you share with us.

    1. Hi! It wasn’t so neat – it has a slightly jagged edge but I am not a neat worker – I’d imagine if you clamp it tighter and do a few thinner layers it’ll leak less between the pages and you’ll have less tearing. But I’ve done this twice and it works! I personally don’t have anything for Autism awareness – I’d recommend trying https://autisticmama.com/ (she’s a mama with autism who blogs a lot about it – even if she doesn’t have printables for autism awareness, you’ll find great resources)

  2. Your link goes in a circle. No matter how you try it goes back to subscribing page. How many times does a person have to subscribe to get to the template for the bee note pad

    1. Hi Jill – I tested it – it should work. If you’re still having issues, just email me at menucha @ momsandcrafters dot com and I’ll send it to you (it arrives in your inbox so if you got to the “thanks” page – check your email, your junk folder.
