I love writing to-do and shopping lists. I first made some of these DIY Notepads about a year ago and made some more over the weekend. I already have visions of crossed-off items dancing through my head.

DIY Notepads

They are so bright, cheery and fun to use. I created both a to-do list and a shopping list version.

Materials:

• Printed Papers
• Paper Cutter
• Foam Brush
• Kitchen & Bath Caulk
• Binder Clip (or Small Chip Clip)

Directions:

First, trim the paper to size. There are multiple pages per page and some margins that need to be trimmed. My pages weren’t exactly even but it didn’t bother me.  Once all of the pages have been trimmed, straighten them out and keep them together using the clips. Use the foam brush to apply a bit of the caulk to the top edge; make sure it is entirely covered. Let the caulk dry (about 1 hour) and the notepad is ready to use. The pages will tear off easily like any store bought notepad.

Do you love crossing off items on your to-do list? If you want to make some of your own, I’ve included a link to the PDF here.
