ever wonder

how those notepads come to be? 
After printing, cutting, adding chipboard + blank sheets, I put them into a homemade press my dad built for me.
add glue. wait. tear apart. remove blank sheets. package+label.

and that is how they come to be!   all done by hand. all done by me. (sometimes packaging by my mom) all time consuming. but so worth the end result.

Hi there! I found this post via Google search for a diy padding press. After seeing this press, I immediately emailed my Dad and asked him to make me one. Aren't Dad's Super!

Love your designs and style. I'll be a returning reader.
