Scrap Paper Jotter Pads

| Jotter Pads from Scrap Paper |
Mr Helpful Man comes in from work with A4 paper that is due to be scrapped. I use this stuff for drawing/sketching ideas, test prints and letting the Grandkids run riot with crayons and the like.
Try making these really useful wee memo pads or jotters for your home or workplace. (My friends love 'em!)

Plonk one by the phone for notes, one in the kitchen for shopping lists, one on your desk to capture your ideas/doodles/must do things

Thanks so much for these instructions. I have made several of your jotters in different sizes. I keep all the paper that is only printed on one side. However, I found the paper was in an untidy mess. Now I can make your jotters and things are tidier.
ReplyDeleteI use a pants hanger as a clamp that goes all the way across the glued edge of the paper.
