Ready for a fun and crafty design project? In this class, we'll be going step-by-step through the process of making your own notepad! This is a great stationery project that can be for personal use, makes a lovely gift, or that you can use as a prototype for a stationery business if you're not ready to outsource manufacturing yet. Plus, it's a lot of fun!

We're going to be designing a notepad in Canva, then printing it out and assembling it with a glue binding. You can follow along with my design lesson, or if you want to fasttrack things, you'll find my premade notepad design in the Class Project section of the class for you to use.

As for materials, here's what you'll need for this class:

a printer and some paper
chipboard or recycled cardboard for the backing
something to cut paper (scissors, utility knife, or paper cutter)
some clamps, bulldog clips, or clothespins
a paintbrush for glue
either white glue, satin mod podge (my favourite!), or padding compound

You can get creative with your materials and use things from around the house!
