Anyone like to sit by the phone and doodle? Well, I'm a chronic doodler. If there's a piece of paper in front of me, chances are I'm going to draw on it. So, I decided to make these fun doodle pads out of old magazines and catalogs. These are perfect for adults or kids to make and use.
Supplies:Scissors
Stapler
Cut out about 15- 20 3" x 5" images (index card size). Look for images that have plenty of space to draw on plus light colors. The images above I picked out for my son's doodle pad.
Cut out a 3"x 10" piece of paper, fold in half. Place all pieces of paper inside the cover, Staple at top or side of your doodle book.The cover above actually came from a craft store advertisement.
Start doodling!
very smart, no waste of money buying papers and sticky notes

ReplyDelete"a doodle a day keeps creative blocks away"
ReplyDeleteoh, I love that quote :D
What a great idea! I've also been finding ways to reuse my stacks of magazines and have found that there are lots of office/desk accessories to be made from them. I'll have to add this to my list, especially since I'm also a chronic doodler ... Thanks for the craft!
ReplyDeleteThose are adorable! I'll have to make some for sure. :D Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLove it!! This would be great featured in our Blog Carnival, details here...http://bit.ly/dvdeVt

very nice idea!! will try to make this soon! ^o^
ReplyDeleteVery cute! :) I like making booklets with my zine stapler. That's what I use for a sketchbook - so much less intimidating to doodle around in when you made it out of scrap paper (as opposed to, say, a moleskine). Linking up tomorrow at Dollar Store Crafts!
ReplyDeleteHa! My husband needs one of those! LOL He writes on everything GRRRR Very cute!
ReplyDeleteThese are great. I should have my students make them for class. Some of them honestly listen better when their hands are at work, lol.
ReplyDeleteWe’ve been busting up our stash like crazy and are really enjoying it too.
