Make Sticky Notepads

The key to successful sticky notepads is the liquid glue between each sheet.


In this fast-paced society with schedules that zip through the days, our memories are stressed and stretched to the limit. Responsibilities, meetings, assignments and appointments don't often stick into our minds. Luckily, sticky notes can do the remembering for us. Those little squares of paper that can be attached to desks, mirrors, doors, refrigerators, microwaves, lunch boxes, lockers, steering wheels, briefcases, Xboxes or foreheads, often times save the day, reminding us of those almost forgotten, and all important tasks. Buying them can be expensive. Making them can be fun, financially rewarding and a craft for kids.


Instructions


1. Cut the paper in a paper cutter in equal shapes, depending upon what size and shape you desire your notepad to be.


2. Cut and trim the paper with scissors if you desire your notepad to be trimmed into shapes that need smaller cutting or trimming. For example, if you want them to be in heart shapes or circular patterns. Use the scissors to cut several together at the same time so that they will be of the same pattern.


3. Squirt just a dab of the liquid sticky note adhesive on the end of one of the pieces of paper. Spread the liquid adhesive glue only on that one end of the piece, to the other side of the end. Stick another piece of paper over that one until it sticks.


4. Squirt some liquid sticky note adhesive on the same end of the piece of paper that you just placed above the first one and spread it with the brush. Take a third piece of paper and layer it on top of the second piece. Make sure they lining up exactly straight.


5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until all of the pieces are in a neat stack.
