This little note pad can be made super quick and is a perfect way to jazz up your to-do list or give as a back to school teacher gift or any other reason! I have made several of these and on the first page I write a little thank-you note, get well, or have a great day! The cost is minimal, time is even less, and the cute factor is high! I made this one this morning in less than 10 minutes! The great thing is you can adjust it for whatever size notebook you're using!

Cut your ribbon to about 6 inches. Once you've finished the project, if you want to trim the ribbon down a bit, you can. I used 3 coordinating ribbons. My notebook had 12 spirals; I used 4 lengths of each ribbon. You can do whatever pattern (or lack thereof) that fits you!

You will flip the front cover so that paper is showing and then begin the hard part! Tie the knots! Since I had 12 spirals and 3 ribbons, I started on the first spiral and counted over 3 and tied the next knot and so on until . . .
Once I've tied on all the ribbons, I adjust it how I want and call it good! On these little spirals, I like to have the knots on the very top of the spiral so that the paper tears easily!
Remember! This only took me less than 10 minutes this morning!
You can use rick-rack, fuzzy yarn, ribbon -- whatever you have! I have found that on these smaller notepads that the smaller ribbon works easiest!
Enjoy!
