Who’s on your gift list this holiday season? In addition to family and friends you may have a teacher, a bus driver, a co-worker or a neighbor you’d like to give a gift to.
Homemade gifts are works of heart and hands. They are personal, intended specifically for the person who will receive it. Often times, too, they are more affordable. But, how long will it take you to create them?
Today’s quick tip is one of my favorite “go to” gift ideas, a stationary set (note pad and matching pen). These are easy to create, inexpensive and can be customized with a theme specifically for that special person on your gift list. Last week’s quick tip video showed you how to make the custom lined pen. If you missed that video you can watch it HERE. And, as I promised last week, today I’m sharing with you how to make the matching note pad.
You can find pictures, supplies and cutting dimensions for today’s note pad below. Please keep in mind that these dimensions will need to be adjusted if you’re created a cover for a note pad other than a junior size legal pad as I’ve used today.
