I have always thought those mini matchbook notepads were so cute, so this week I designed a few for the Silhouette Online Store.
They are fairly simple to assemble but here is a quick tutorial to clear up any questions:
1. Fold outside cover of matchbook notepad along perforations.
2. Insert blank white pages (cut out of regular weight printer paper) under bottom flap and staple. I estimate that around 14 pages is all my stapler could handle, but test it on your own stapler. It could fluctuate based on your paper weight!
3. Fold over the cover and tuck it under the bottom flap, above the staple. It's that simple!
Seriously! You are awesome!
ReplyDeleteThose are so cute. You are amazingly talented.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun little gift idea. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOMGosh, these are adorable!! I can't wait to get home and make one (or several!)!!
ReplyDeleteThese are cute! :-)
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute. I created something very similar but it holds a mint instead of paper.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE these Loni!!!!
ReplyDeletevery cool ... will be buying one of these for sure!
ReplyDeleteI made these for my make'n take last night ... all my Stampin' Up! club members loved them!! Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteI just got my Silhouette and want to make these. What type of paper do you recommend? Also, is there a good way to fold them so so crease is nice and straight? Maybe there's a tool for that? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi Ellie! I recommend cardstock for the outside and plain printer paper works for the guts. The file is set up with perforations (little tiny cuts your silhouette will do that make it easy to fold) so you don't need any special tools!
ReplyDeleteLove this idea. Was looking for a gift for a male colleague and bought your plain version. Will add his name to the front. Something that is small, not too girly and not too personal. LOVE THIS!
