How to Make a Pad of Peel-able Paper

Make your pad of paper with different colors.

Make your own pad of peel-able paper with just a few supplies and a little bit of time. This is a great way to recycle leftover paper. You can also modify the instructions slightly to make your own book.

Things You'll Need

• Bunch of paper
• Bookbinder's PVA or some other white glue that isn't Elmer's
• Wide brush for gluing
• C-clamps
• 2 boards

Instructions

1. Jog the paper so the edges are aligned perfectly and place the paper between the boards with about an inch sticking out. Clamp securely with c-clamps.

2. Push the paper over with one hand and spread glue across the edges with the other. Don't push too far or you won't be able to peel the paper off the pad.

3. Push the paper over the other way and glue again.

4. Let the glue dry a little and then repeat.

5. Bring the paper back to center and put a couple of coats of glue across the edges.

6. Slide the paper all the way into the boards carefully and clamp tightly, letting the glue dry completely. You may find it useful to put wax paper on either side of the pad so it doesn't stick to the boards.

Tips & Warnings

• If you want to make a book, push the paper really far over when you glue, and do a couple more coats. Then just make a cover that will go all the way around, score the spine creases, and glue to the spine.

• Try printing on paper before gluing to personalize it.

• Use different colors in the same pad.
