This is so cute. I keep thinking if you laminated the cover sheet. You could use a self stick Velcro dot for closing. That way the belly band won't get lost or ruined.
Loved both of the videos! These are great ideas!! I too jazz up small notepads from the dollar store & hand them to visitors at our church as a free gift with a pen. I stamp our church info inside with a quick peesonal note to them. I'll now take it to the next level with the plastic bags. TSMFS!!!
These are the best. Thanks for doing a bonus project. I always have scraps, but I don’t usually have something that isn’t wasteful. I love you gave us something else to use up whatever’s left.
Amber, thank you so much for this video! I was wracking my brain to come up with a quick last minute gift to create for our Sunday School volunteers, and then I remembered this video. In about an hour I was able to whip up a batch, using the same paper I made thank you cards with, and they absolutely loved them! I mentioned and linked you and this video in my project share video so that they can see how the Pro does it! Again...thanks for sharing your awesome talents with us! Stay blessed and creative....
I always look forward to your craft fair series each year. I go back sometimes and find ones I never saw before. Love the notepad/notebook projects as well as the candy ones. Have you ever done little projects like a fall or Christmas goodie basket or bucket? I have thought about doing a color-coordinated project like that, but am not sure what to include (i.e., decorated pack of gum /mints, candy/chocolate, hand sanitizer or one of your chapstick holders, a notepad & pen, etc.) or how to package it. Your packaging looks so good. I am making cards and selling a little on the side and have found clear bags really accentuate their look. Often, I print out a little decorative label or sticker to identify it for size/type and put that at the bottom or back of the clear bag. I agree it makes the item have a nice presentation. Thanks for sharing all of your great ideas!
I have been a subscriber of your channel for awhile...and just wanted to let you know, I think you're amazing! You have great ideas and easy to follow tutorials. I have been making the Chunky Notepads and Notepad wallets for my craft shows for years and everyone loves them! Thanks to you for your videos! After a few customers said they'd tape a giftcard in the notepad wallet...I used the cardstock piece left over (after you cut down to 9.5 in) and I used the little scrap rectangle to make a giftcard/money slot! I 💜 your videos and thank you for sharing your talents!
Thank you much, Sarah! You are so kind to leave me such a sweet comment. It really made my day. Thank you again and I’m so glad you’re enjoying my videos. ❤️ Amber
You are so talented. I love everything you make. And how generously you share your ideas with us. I don't do craft shows, but do make a ton of gifts for my friends, so your ideas are such a blessing!
These are adorable!! I have found that if I have a lot of little items they sell out fast!! And I try to make all of those little $1 items with what would be left overs from other projects!
I think instead of the belly band I would cut out a circle or heart or whatever goes best with the paper maybe even fussy cut the design on the paper. Anyway, I would use velcro on it. I always have trouble sliding belly bands on.
I could hardly wait for this "bonus" video! These are so so cute and such a good way to use up those extra pieces of cardstock. Besides the belly band, an even faster way to hold these closed are the pretty little fuzzy hair scrunchies I found at $$$ Tree. They are kind of thick and soft and different colors... and very durable for little albums! Stretchy ruffled lace works good too, but you have to glue the ends together or sew them together..... not quick but very durable and cute!
I just love not wasting anything, and you do this so well. Thanks again! These are great. I can't wait to make both projects as Christmas stocking stuffers & I think I am going do one of each as the stocking stuffer...one for the pocketbook or pocket & one by the phone or computer. :)
I have watched your videos for sometime, this time I'm compelled to comment. Just watched the chunky notebook followed by Notebook wallets. They are incredibly awesome and functional. Genially inspired, I'm psyched about challenging myself. TFS!! I'll be watchin ;-)
Hi Amber, I absolutely love your videos. Awesome ideas! Quick tip: for the pad without the chipboard, instead of the tape on top try using some PVC glue. It's used for bookbinding. :-)
very cute easy to make! yes bags is what I'm doing because last year children.unattended they were touching everything. Including the straws in the hot cocca packets. so they are going in bags also. Thank you for sharing you are so talented!!
These are so cute I am gong to make one to keep in my purse but ... I would like to make one with a pocket on the inside! I would love your advice on doing that????
Has anyone tried these but without the belly band? Like using Velcro? I just feel like it would be easier for the person to flip it open rather than sliding the belly band on and off. Thank you for the wonderful idea!
I happened to have the sticky Velcro and it worked very nicely. The paper doesn't seem to tear but I could see if someone was really rough with it. I really enjoy all your videos Amber! Thanks for taking the time to show us these!
These notepad wallets are just so stinkin' cute!! I love these too. You're awesome! Great tutorials by the way. I just found your channel and immediately subscibed. Will be binge watching your other videos :)
Thanks for your awesome vids! Very inspiring! I was wondering which heart punch you used in your video. I don’t see one just like it on your Amazon page. Thanks!
Do you arrange/group your items by price or category (candy together, notebooks together) or is it more random? And how do you remember the price for each item at checkout?
This is great even for a lil gift. You never cease to amaze with your simple yet adorable crafts! What can you do if you don't have the corner cutter? TY again! XO❤XO💘XO❤
Ok So I like these because as you say, a little money for them goes a long way. However, instead of the belly band, I think a little ribbon and button closure would work better. Having to take off and put on the belly band each time is going to be a pain. TY Just my thoughts. :)
I would like to mb wake the bonus wallet but can't find the first video that was recommended to watch before washing the bonus one. Can anyone guide me to find it?
These are so cute. I don't know why you're not charging like $2 for them. They are well worth it. What is the breakdown $ per bag? Also, I would like to find little notepads like these but the lines go all the way to to the top. You know what I mean? Instead of that inch of wasted space at the top. Any ideas where to find such a beast? You are shaping up for an excellent craft fair. Keep on crafting... ❤ XOXO
FYI....your Amazon supply list says they are out of stock on the heart punches......not so......I found them on Amazon. Don’t know if they are the same size.

Do you ever add a little sticker on your clear bags with your name, or have a business card on your craft fair stand? I love your ideas 😊
These are the best. Thanks for doing a bonus project. I always have scraps, but I don’t usually have something that isn’t wasteful. I love you gave us something else to use up whatever’s left.
Really like how everything looks once it's packaged. Makes all the difference. Professional looking and protected.

Great bonus to the other project, using up scraps and left overs plus the bonus of having that lower priced grab item! Win, win, win! 💜
Love that you showed us how to use leftover pieces to make something else. Cute and easy.
You are so talented. I love everything you make. And how generously you share your ideas with us. I don't do craft shows, but do make a ton of gifts for my friends, so your ideas are such a blessing!
amazing way of using up the extra stuff instead of just getting rid of them! You are amazing! Way to go!
Love these great idea....wish our dollar store had them! I'm still looking!
This is now a year later...my dollar tree doesn't have then either but keeping this idea saved for when they do!
These are adorable!! I have found that if I have a lot of little items they sell out fast!! And I try to make all of those little $1 items with what would be left overs from other projects!
Every week is more intense with great ideas can't wait for the next one

Love these little notepads.....so much that I made 30 of them this weekend!!!! I added a sentiment to the heart and they look so cute!

Thank you for watching! Those are such great ideas for closures! xo Amber
Worth the wait.... so cute! BEST BONUS VIDEO EVER!!! You should be crowned and titled "Craft Fair Queen"... Thanks for yet another GREAT video!
Oh my goodness...you’re so sweet thank you so much! xo Amber
I love how you were able to plan 2 projects to use up a whole sheet of paper! Great idea!!😍
OMG! How in the world I missed this video??? Girl, you are a genius! I love your tutorials! Tfs!!!!
I just love not wasting anything, and you do this so well. Thanks again! These are great. I can't wait to make both projects as Christmas stocking stuffers & I think I am going do one of each as the stocking stuffer...one for the pocketbook or pocket & one by the phone or computer. :)
I really liked this project. Quick, cute, classy and inexpensive to make or buy!
Amber, these are so cute. I like the display with the belly band also.
You could stamp to and from on the back or add a tag for Christmas presents
I have watched your videos for sometime, this time I'm compelled to comment. Just watched the chunky notebook followed by Notebook wallets. They are incredibly awesome and functional. Genially inspired, I'm psyched about challenging myself. TFS!! I'll be watchin ;-)
I want to thank you for this idea. Also, thanks for the connection to Clear bags and your code. I received my order in 2 days, WOW!
Hi amber, love your ideas. FYI, you can use your art glitter glue to seal that top.
I just saw this video . . . I just want travel restrictions over to go to the United States and to Dollar Tree. Thanks so much
Hi Amber, I absolutely love your videos. Awesome ideas! Quick tip: for the pad without the chipboard, instead of the tape on top try using some PVC glue. It's used for bookbinding. :-)
very cute easy to make! yes bags is what I'm doing because last year children.unattended they were touching everything. Including the straws in the hot cocca packets. so they are going in bags also. Thank you for sharing you are so talented!!
I just looove this and the chunky notebooks!!!
You did it again Amber! Super cute. Got my pads ready, love it. Tfs, Mellonie
Wow Amber this is just perfect for the left over notepads! Love this idea. Thanks SO much for sharing ❤️💕
You are so clever. I love how you use every scrap! ❤️
Hi Amber: These are so cute. I will definitely be making these. Thank you for sharing.
With a little more customization, these would make cute wedding favours.
Thanks for showing what you did to add a cardboard to the back of a pad that doesn’t have a back.
What a great way to use the whole 12 by 12 sheet.
Hi Amber, these are awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for your great ideas! I made some notebook covers today, and will eventually make these wallets. Super ideas!
Thanks so much for this wonderful bonus project! I like the heart die cut.
Just love the things you do. Am not doing shows this year but will try these next.
A very great bonus to have shared with us. Loving your videos. Happy I have found you. Keep up the great work. You're beautiful.
These are so cute I am gong to make one to keep in my purse but ... I would like to make one with a pocket on the inside! I would love your advice on doing that????
What a fabulous idea I've watched both videos and you have made some awesome notepad crafts Thanks for sharing!
Cute idea to not waste anything!
You could use little magnets to keep it closed .
Super cute notepad wallets!! Love how you made these. Thank you for another great tutorial. TFS
This is my 1st time checking out your channel and I have watched a few or your videos and love crafts. You got a new subbie.
Adorable. Amber you have creative majic. Wishing you a super week. Hugs Susan
Love the nice presentation! Great idea.
Has anyone tried these but without the belly band? Like using Velcro? I just feel like it would be easier for the person to flip it open rather than sliding the belly band on and off. Thank you for the wonderful idea!
I happened to have the sticky Velcro and it worked very nicely. The paper doesn't seem to tear but I could see if someone was really rough with it. I really enjoy all your videos Amber! Thanks for taking the time to show us these!
I did! I have small little velcro dots that I also use for little post-it holders. It works beautifully on these too!
Really cute! Good luck in your craft fair this year, I’m sure it’ll be a success! Tfs 💕
Another winner, Amber!
This is great! I would love ideas on how to add a pen/pencil holder to these...
These are awesome note pads, though I was thinking, can it be made to be refillable?
Love these... and the chunky ones too. Thanks.
I love it! I think it would be a nice little touch if you made a little folder inside the wallet with the extra scrap :)
These notepad wallets are just so stinkin' cute!! I love these too. You're awesome! Great tutorials by the way. I just found your channel and immediately subscibed. Will be binge watching your other videos :)
Yippeee I have been waiting for the bonus thanks so excited! To do both ! Thanks Amber Huge Thumbs up!

THESE ARE BEAUTIFUL
Lovely little notepads, thank you for sharing!
Do you have a breakdown/listing of the measurements we can print out?
Very professional looking, well worth the wait for your video❣
I would like to mb wake the bonus wallet but can't find the first video that was recommended to watch before washing the bonus one. Can anyone guide me to find it?
They are so super cute! great idea! TFS
You always have fun ideas.ove it!!
Very nice. Can't wait to make a few
😬Thank you for sharing. I hope to make this project very so.
Love, love, love...thank you!!
These are so cute. I don't know why you're not charging like $2 for them. They are well worth it.
What is the breakdown $ per bag?
Also, I would like to find little notepads like these but the lines go all the way to to the top. You know what I mean? Instead of that inch of wasted space at the top. Any ideas where to find such a beast?
You are shaping up for an excellent craft fair. Keep on crafting...
❤ XOXO
I heart this idea but my dt doesnt carry the 5 count pads
You can buy them online! I posted the link in the description of my video. Yay! Thanks for watching... xo Amber
FYI....your Amazon supply list says they are out of stock on the heart punches......not so......I found them on Amazon. Don’t know if they are the same size.
Thanks for letting me know!
Amber , super cute 👍🏼
Love this!!! So cute and simple!
Easy peasy and so adorable.
what size heart punch is that please?
THESE ARE SO NICE-TFS-HAVE A BLESSED DAY
Love this so cute and fun!

You are so good with paper crafts I so love your channel t4s
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜. Love it Hilda
Nice idea Amber, tfs! 💖 👍
Where is the link to that size bag please?
wouldn't it be easier to punch a hole on the belly band? I love this project tho!
