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

****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.💕

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.

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.

[@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)
