Convert scrap paper into a handy notepad with tear-away sheets using duct tape instead of specialty binding glue.
What you'll need:
Scrap paper
Cereal box or other cardboard for backing
Duct tape
Binder clips or rubber bands
Glue stick
Paper cutter
Scissors
step 1Cut your paper and backing
I chose to make mostly 5.5" x 8.5" and 5.5" x 4.25" notepads. I also made one 4" by 2.5" mini notepad.
Cut a length of tape slightly longer than the width of the edge to be bound.
If you are making a notepad that is thicker than the width of your tape use several strips positioned side by side
With the back of your notebook facing up, position the tape so there is enough overhang to cover the thickness of the pad. It is better to have too much overhang than too little, the excess can always be cut away.
Press down on the backing to secure the tape, then flip the pad over.
