Tutorial:
Use purchased notepads measuring 5" x 8" from an office supply store. Have the notepads cut in half vertically to end up with two 2.5" x 8" notepads. I purchased mine from Staples with perferated tops on the sheets so page can be ripped out easily. Staples will cut the notepad for you, they are sold in packages of 8 or 10.
1. Cut cardstock base for your notepad dimensions 8 1/4" x 7 1/8".
2. 8 1/4" is the height of your notepad. Score the 8 1/4" piece vertically in the
following order at 2 3/4", 5/16", 2 3/4" , 5/16". Your piece will look like this...

3. Use a corner rounder to round the tips of the 1" panel on the right side.
4. Cut a piece of patterned paper to cover the top of the notepad and use score
tape or other adhesive to secure the notepad onto the inside right of your
cover (third panel).
