How to Make Your Own Memo Pad
Whether for grocery lists, love notes or telephone messages, make a memo pad out of any color standard-size copier paper. You won't need glue or staples to assemble your memo pad; grosgrain ribbon binds the note papers. Write a message and simply tear the note paper away from the ribbon binding. Make a memo pad for your own note-taking or to give as gifts for teachers or secretaries.
