List Book with Optional Sticky Notes Craft Tutorial 

White Peonies List Book Made with Printables

Decoupaged and glittered cover from the Dragonflies printable kit

Optional sticky notes and pen holder

Extra To Do list pad from our Planner printables

Make a List Book, with or without sticky notes, from our printables: use it as a To Do list, a notebook for a particular project or even writing paper.  If you use brads to secure the pages you can just print more and re-fill it when necessary.

Our lovely Volunteer Crafter, Debbie has kindly contributed the written instructions, photos and video so you have a number of ways to follow this card making tutorial.

This tutorial features the White Peonies List Book and the video also features the Dragonflies List Book, both of which are available on their own or in a big value bundle of 10. 

• White Peonies Printable List Book

Instructions

1.  Print out the sheets in your kit and then, cut and score where indicated.

• Front and back cover
• Note paper - 10 or 20 sheets*

Making the Book Re-Fillable (optional)

5. If you want to be able to re-fill your book when you've used all the pages, follow these steps, otherwise skip down.  Once the notes holder is dry, using a hole punch, punch out holes where indicated by white circles.  Do the same on all of the note pages.  Using a brad, push through the front of the notes holder, through the notes pages and through the back of the notes holder and open the ends of the brad to secure.

6.  Using tape or glue, secure the holder to the back cover of the book.
