These are easy and fast to make and are great for craft fairs or small handmade gifts. You can decorate them up more to look even prettier but I think they look good with just the matching ribbon and packaging. There are many of these similar designs on YouTube and this is definitely not an original idea of mine. I just adjusted the size to be able to fit my little notepads which measured 3-1/2" X 5". I either purchased from The Dollar Tree or Walmart. There are 5 in each pack, and they come in a lovely array of colors, purple, blue, green, pink etc. I made my own design labels on Avery.com
