This is the best pad holder design out there! I did modify it a little in that I made a pocket inside the back cover so that the pad could be replaced and I didn’t put on an inside pad cover. The other thing I did is I took scraps of my paper and covered the tops of the pads and sent extra pads with them. Thanks May for another great tutorial!

I don’t know if I ever commented on this but I meant to. I used this for our craft night. I get all the ladies and little girls in my family together and we craft. We did this a couple months ago and they are still talking about it! Thank you for such a fun idea!

This is such a fantastic idea. Especially the cardboard back. I've done these before using just the cardstock, this will be so much sturdier. Thank you.

@Ronibearable 6 жыл бұрын

Lovely and you're a great teacher. I would(will) add packaging tape to the inside flap, before cutting for the pen holder so the pen holder won't tear or get worn easily. No one will see it, but it will strengthen that cardstock for that little pen holder. Also, an easy solution to that cardboard showing under the pen holder is washi tape. Just stick a piece under there before securing the cover.

I recently found your channel and I love love it. I am addicted now. I was soooo amazed at your willingness to share the Word of God with your online family. I also love your projects and the way you present them. Your voice is so kind and enjoying to hear. Your projects are so much fun to create and make my own design. God bless you and yours greatly. Praying for you.

Dear Maymay I found what I was looking for .The legal pad for shopping list. I decided to surf your area and found it from 5 years ago! 2018. Thank you Janet.

@paulaaddison546 6 жыл бұрын

I just love that you take a craft using paper to make a gift idea! I also appreciate that you give such great tips that it should be logical like scoring the edges to make a fold easier and when folding using your table to assist. That should be something we should think logically but we don't, you make it so simple!! That's why I love your videos, not to mention both you and Vinnie are just darling together ♥ Have a blessed Holiday and may you prosper in the New Year!

This is so blasted adorable!!!! Plus easy enough to make. Probably whip out 6-12 of them in an afternoon or evening. Love the matching pen and adding the cardboard for sturdiness. Your cardboard reminded of Masonite. Thank you for yet another ideal last minute Christmas gift from the heart. This got me thinking about one of the ladies Biblestudy groups I attend. Now I'm wanting to make these for each lady. Notepad, journal notes, prayer requests and on and on....

I also went one step further and made a slip pocket in the back of the legal pad. My pad was 8 x 5, so I cut my card stock 5.5 x 5. I scored my card stock 1/4 on each side, used a really good tape on each side and placed it on the back.

This journal is very cute and whoever received it would be very impressed. Thank you.

Love this!! I love the way it looks where you covered the top of the paper spine but I think it’s going to make it difficult to tear the sheets out since it’s taped down past the spine onto that first sheet of paper.

It’s not taped into the first sheet. There is a cover on the top of the legal pad and it’s taped to that. The pages are free and clear. I’m already using one of these for notes in my craft room with no issues. Thanksnnn
