DIY 4x6 Notepad Cover with Pencil Holder | Easy Gift Idea for Teachers & Friends
In today’s tutorial, I’ll show you how to create a beautiful and functional cover for a standard 4x6 notepad using cardstock and decorative paper. This simple project features a built-in slot for a pen or pencil, making it the perfect handmade gift for teachers, coworkers, friends—or just to keep for yourself!
Customize it with your favorite patterned papers—like the floral and bird prints I used—or match it to a theme or occasion. These are quick to make and easy to personalize, so they’re great for mass-producing as gifts or craft fair items.
