Tutorial: Easy Matchbook Paper Pads

Thanks to one of my readers {Poe} for her request to post this tutorial. I was really excited, because I LOVE these cute little paper pads!!  They are so cute and have a variety of fun uses.  Here we go....

First you need:

*scrapbook paper

*printer paper

*paper cutter

*stapler

1.  First you need to cut the Scrapbook paper into 2 x 5 sizes.  You can make about 10 matchbooks with a 12 x 12 piece of paper!  Cool, huh?

2.  Fold the bottom of the matchbook over about 1/2 inch.

3.  Cut your printer paper into about 1 3/4 x 2 inch squares.

4.  Stick about 10 sheets of printer paper cut into the small squares in side the 1/2 inch fold and staple on the inside of the matchbook.  Make sure when you staple you leave some room to tuck the top of the matchbook inside!


5.  Fold the top flap over and tuck it into the stapled fold.  Thats it!!!  Easy Peasy, huh?

These are perfect to tuck in your purse, to write notes on, use as party favors.

My sister-in-law used them at church when she was giving a lesson.  The women she was speaking to could write down notes on them during the lesson...so COOL!

I want to make some cute Thanksgiving ones and put them on the table for each person to write what they are thankful for.  Dinner is at my house this year!  FUN....
