This is the best pad holder design out there! I did modify it a little in that I made a pocket inside the back cover so that the pad could be replaced and I didn’t put on an inside pad cover. The other thing I did is I took scraps of my paper and covered the tops of the pads and sent extra pads with them. Thanks May for another great tutorial!

[@teresabuckmaster2763]

I don’t know if I ever commented on this but I meant to. I used this for our craft night. I get all the ladies and little girls in my family together and we craft. We did this a couple months ago and they are still talking about it! Thank you for such a fun idea!

[@Ronibearable]

Lovely and you're a great teacher. I would(will) add packaging tape to the inside flap, before cutting for the pen holder so the pen holder won't tear or get worn easily. No one will see it, but it will strengthen that cardstock for that little pen holder. Also, an easy solution to that cardboard showing under the pen holder is washi tape. Just stick a piece under there before securing the cover.

[@thelmapirnie4246]

This is such a fantastic idea. Especially the cardboard back. I've done these before using just the cardstock, this will be so much sturdier. Thank you.

[@bettypagano4103]

You do one heck of a super job in your tutorials. Love ever thing you make. It definitely takes a designer's eye ro put together all the colors & designs so that they pop! Especially getting things on straight. Drives me crazy! Thank you for all the projects you have given us.

[@paulaaddison546]

I just love that you take a craft using paper to make a gift idea! I also appreciate that you give such great tips that it should be logical like scoring the edges to make a fold easier and when folding using your table to assist. That should be something we should think logically but we don't, you make it so simple!! That's why I love your videos, not to mention both you and Vinnie are just darling together ♥ Have a blessed Holiday and may you prosper in the New Year!

[@vixla4247]

This is so blasted adorable!!!! Plus easy enough to make. Probably whip out 6-12 of them in an afternoon or evening. Love the matching pen and adding the cardboard for sturdiness. Your cardboard reminded of Masonite. Thank you for yet another ideal last minute Christmas gift from the heart. This got me thinking about one of the ladies Biblestudy groups I attend. Now I'm wanting to make these for each lady. Notepad, journal notes, prayer requests and on and on....

[@kathycole9443]

I made dozens of these for Christmas gifts last year. And they are still being used. I had enjoyed making them.

[@cindypool5943]

This video...like all your other videos..is awesome!! You are so good at explaining the directions and making everything clear. Thank you for all your beautiful videos!

[@cindycrane1461]

I recently found your channel and I love love it. I am addicted now. I was soooo amazed at your willingness to share the Word of God with your online family. I also love your projects and the way you present them. Your voice is so kind and enjoying to hear. Your projects are so much fun to create and make my own design. God bless you and yours greatly. Praying for you.

[@denisenoble4010]

I have watched lots of these videos about making a cover for a note pad and this is the best one, your instruction enables me to follow you while you are making your cover and I can stop and start till its finished. thank you for sharing

[@christyvanwagner4051]

This is amazing! I love your videos! Everytime I watch one I tell myself, "Ohhh! Im making that!" This is no exception! Thank you Maymay!

[@mmmmlllljohn]

I’m speechless ... you just blow me away with your creativity! Who would think to line the pen! They look fabulous!

[@lauraanderson2429]

Hi May May - I’ve made these for myself - my granddaughter- and my daughter. They loved them. This is a Great Gift made for anyone. Thanks May May. ❤️

[@elisebb8423]

I've made several of these, but never thought of the sturdy backing. What a great idea! Mine will be like that from now on. Thanks, Maymay, for the well explained video! You are a great teacher!

[@Scatterbrain47]

Hello Maymay!!! I could just feel the excitement in you while making this journal!!! I absolutely love it and was so excited watching you put this together. I am so making these for my first Craft Show. Thank you so very much for this video....

[@diansolomon614]

Maymay years ago when I first saw this video I made so many of these for gifts & everyone loved them. Over the past few months those that were recipents have asked me if I still make them. So I guess I will be making them again. Thanks for another great idea.

[@blessedoverlander4864]

Love how you tear your tape!what a great idea! Love this project.

[@christielabbe4842]

Hi MayMay! I can listen to you talk all day! Great tutorial!

[@poshglampristine4044]

You are simply amazing. I made notepads last Christmas for my coworkers- this is a great way to step up my gift this year💕💕

[@INVR4GET]

Great tutorial! You explain everything very well! Thank you for another great idea!

[@anniefields-chapman7129]

I also went one step further and made a slip pocket in the back of the legal pad. My pad was 8 x 5, so I cut my card stock 5.5 x 5. I scored my card stock 1/4 on each side, used a really good tape on each side and placed it on the back.

[@SharonJerniganStudio]

What a great project…useful, cute,fun! Such an excellent teacher….everything perfectly clear. Thank you!

[@viviankirkham1677]

Wow!! And love love love the paper pack with the stickers.. Fashionista. Beautiful!!

[@pammoreton9550]

So fun! I've made lots of legal pad covers but never one like this. I can't wait to make one for myself and more for gifts! Thank you for the great tutorial!

[@inkslinger8883]

I love these legal pad covers. I like the sturdy back.

[@christinedufer7075]

[@geraldinebecher7702]

Maymay, on the inside of the cover, just above the pocket, wouldn't that be a great place to adhere a sticky pad?!? What adorable gifts for so many situations!

[@woodcrystal19]

thnx so much for sharing this tutorial. I have been trying to think of a quick/easy craft for gifts. love it!!!

[@shelleysolin6867]

i like that tool you used to pull off the tape cover! same thing i used when i did pottery in college. going to pull those out of the basement. talk about an "aha moment"! thank you, and i just subscribed.

[@christinebrooks5556]

Hello Maymay, Thank you very much, absolutely brilliant tutorial, with inspirational tips. I was looking to make a wedding organiser for my brother's fiance, & this is it!

[@michelechristensen2854]

Maymay get job you make everything look easy. You should be a teacher you explain everything so we understand. Thank you!

[@deannastark3892]

Shut the front door!!! How dang cute is that! Love it. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@flygirlual1]

Love this!! I love the way it looks where you covered the top of the paper spine but I think it’s going to make it difficult to tear the sheets out since it’s taped down past the spine onto that first sheet of paper.

[@MaymayMadeIt]

It’s not taped into the first sheet. There is a cover on the top of the legal pad and it’s taped to that. The pages are free and clear. I’m already using one of these for notes in my craft room with no issues. Thanksnnn

[@dr.lisalynnchoice6709]

Gorgeous!!! I love it MayMay❤❤❤❤

[@charlottepatterson3957]

I really like this project and you r a really great teacher explaining every step so we'll thank you

[@Kittyg6535]

Hello Maymay, Oh My Stars, how cute are these? Really really cute! I get so tickled watching you. If you hear any noises it’s me giggling or Asking a question, which you answer about 3seconds later . I would like to run into your craft room before you go off and give you A huge Southern hug from all of us. We all really do LOVE You and Vinnie! I am new to your channel, but loving your crafting ideas. I am watching several crafters and all with different crafting.
