Just beautiful, Dawn. The finishing touch with the decoration of your pen was really special. Thanks for sharing.

[@dmhaight]

Thank you! I hope you give this project a try 💕

[@PamelaPromnitz]

Making more. Love these!

[@dmhaight]

Yay! With the new Stampin Up papers 😍 they turn out SO pretty!

[@stellashandmade]

Gorgeous. I will have to make some. By the way, your voice spoke to me of a warm heart and great sense of humour. xxx

11/24/21: Goodness gracious, Dawn, this is the BOMB project; seemingly quick and easy and I can't wait to try it -- TODAY!! TFS.

[@dmhaight]

Glad you like it! Yes, this project is totally addicting, once you make one, you won't be able to stop, lol :-)

[@conishkee]

@@dmhaight I wasn't kidding 'cause I just finished making one and OMG, it came out so beautiful. I went for the Victorian look with cardstock of that period, pearls, bling and lace. I plan to make more. They're too cute not to. Thanks again for inspiring me Dawn.

[@dmhaight]

@conishkee I'm so glad you gave this project a try! They really do turn out nice, don't they?

[@rosedwyer9169]

This is a wonderful tutorial. I am traveling to Paris and would love to make theses for all in our party. I think i would like to make the note pad open from the side and not the top. Any suggestions on paper pads and how to change the assembly? Thank you.

[@dmhaight]

You could easily turn the sleeve for the notepad the other direction (altering the width for the height of the notepad) and then slide it in. A small spiral-bound notebook might work.

[@rosedwyer9169]

Yes, great idea. Can't wait to get started. Thank you.

[@debbieschroeder2790]

I absolutely love this idea, my question do you have a design like this but with a flap closure?

[@dmhaight]

Thank you! Hmmm... I've never done a flap close, but you could probably add an additional piece of chipboard with a second strip of book tape to the back cover, and secure it to the front with magnets. You've given me some ideas!💕

[@wildernesswarcry4882]

[@alisonjohnson2267]

Loved your video! Could you use fabric instead of paper and if so, what type of glue would you use?

[@dmhaight]

@@alisonjohnson2267 wow! Fabric is a great idea! I would use Art Glitter glue with a fine tip, smoothing out with a bone folder to get an even bond.

[@kathleenprice7335]

I got everything to make this It is such a nice idea! Thank You for the video. I cannot find the sticky canvas Iv'e tried Hobby Lobby, Joanns, Amazon is out of stock. Is there something else I can use that is comparable? Thank You in advance.

[@dmhaight]

You can use bookbinding tape from Amazon. It comes in large rolls 2 or 2.5" wide - you'll need shimmer trim to extend the bound area. I have another video making the smaller size notebooks and it has an updated list of supplies

[@swysocki3920]

****Don't Forget**** If you're gifting, check whether the person is left-handed or right-handed. If you're selling, Make a few left-handed notepad covers To make these left-handed Place the pocket triangle on the right side of the cover and the notepad holder on the left side. It's that easy and the lefties in your life or your left-handed customers will certainly appreciate it.

[@dmhaight]

Thanks for the suggestion! I'm left-handed and prefer the original design but I can see the benefits of a 'left-handed style' as well.💕

[@lucyhare5799]

I am new to this also and would like to make some for a couple of birthdays next month. I am glad that it only took youtube 4 years to get me your instructions. I also think they are some of the easiest for me to follow. Thank you.

I have everything except this "sticky-back canvas" product. Never heard of it. I even have the ink pens. Bummer. Is there an alternative to the canvas? Great video and project. EDIT: Wait, is that book-binding canvas? I might have some of that...but where? Hmmm EDIT 2: Can't find any....maybe I'll try my black Duck Tape for now... ha ha. A practice one.

Yes, I found this product that works: amzn.to/4969Qa1 It's book binding tape and comes in a variety of colors. The sticky back canvas has been discontinued.

I've recently just started paper crafting , and I really enjoyed this tutorial. Your method is alot different than others I've watched and tried, and I learned some new techniques, which I will definitely try. I like the added textures and added details to your project. I'll look forward to watching more tutorials. Thank you for sharing. By the way, where do you get your glue pen?

[@dmhaight]

Hi Cathy! Thanks for watching :-) I'm glad you've found this video helpful! My glue pen is a retired product from Close to My Heart, but you can find a comparable product from Zig at big box craft stores and Amazon. Look for Wide Tip Glue.

[@curlygone]

What did you use for the pen loops?

[@dmhaight]

ribbon - 1/4" grosgrain works best

I can’t find the sticky-back canvas. It’s either out of stock or discontinued. Does anyone know where I can find it.

You can try bookbinding tape like this: www.amazon.com/Bookbinding-Gaffer-Power-Library-Archival/dp/B07QLGFJS2/ref=mp_s_a_1_11?dchild=1&keywords=book+binding+canvas&qid=1619557193&sr=8-11

[@maryrankin1416]

@@dmhaight thank you for your reply, that search brought up 2inch tape. I think your KZbin video was so popular there has been a run on the canvas! Do you think plain canvas plus glue would be okay to substitute for the sticky-back canvas?

[@dmhaight]

The book binding tape would work or a wider version of it could also work. An option with plain canvas would be to use double sided adhesive with it - you can get Scor-tape in various sizes. (Liquid glue would be very messy and wouldn't have the right flexibility)
