diy — security envelope matchbook notepads

... wow that sure is a long title.

As I mentioned in this post I have a new DIY project for you using security envelopes. I decided to transform my collection of beauties into these easy peasy matchbook notepads ... something that I can see myself using on a daily basis (being the obsessive note taker that I am) and that looks ever so lovely.

As you can see from the photo above I did not limit myself to just security envelopes ... junk mail also comes in fancy bright colors too :) Here are the 5 simple steps so you can make some for yourself.

Supplies you will need:
• envelopes or scrap paper for your notebook cover
• writing paper for your notebook pages
• stapler
• scissors
• ruler
• pencil

I made my matchbook a slightly larger than the traditional size for more writing pleasure … you can make yours any size your little heart desires.

Perhaps when you get a bill in the mail today you won't be so disappointed … ok … lets not go to far ;)
