Desktop Notepad and Pen Set


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 

Measurements and Supplies Used:
4-1/4" X  11" Thick Whisper White Cardstock
5-1/4" X 7-1/4" Thick Whisper White Cardstock
