This weekend I designed a new notepad! 

I really love the design and was thinking of making the notepads completely by hand.

So I printed my design on normal printing paper and cut all the sheets by hand with my ruler and a cutter. My cutting machine does not cut right unfortunately, so I did it like that.

I used a cardstock, that I bought to protect my patreon mail tier prints while shipping, as a backing card.

Then I hold the pages together with paper clips and glued the top of the notepad. 

It was just a first try, never did something like that before, and I definitely need to buy another glue, maybe a bookbinding glue, if I really want to make them all at home. Because with the normal glue I used for them the pages do not hold together very well, and the paper has started to curl.

But guys, tell me what you think?

Would you love to purchase handmade notepads, or should I better outsource them? 

And what do you think about my new design? 😊

I can also make a Video for you, where I show you how I made them, if you are interested!

😍😍😍 I'm absolutely in love with this design! I enjoy making notes each day so I hope you'll put them in your shop 🥰 and I think it's amazing that you tried making them by hand! I'd rather buy something hand-made actually, I even like it when things are not too perfect but instead have that hand-crafted personality 💛

I also love these notepad. Well done for making them handmade! It must have taken a long time. I hope you have found some nice glue in the meantime. Have you tried with gluesticks like Pritt/Uhu..?

Anna Lunak

Thank you! Yes I found another glue from Uhu, but haven't tried it yet. Now as I have the cricut mashine i will focus more on my shop again, and this machine will also cut the sheets for my notepads 😁

Hurray, that's great! Let us know if the glue works 😊
