HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- Hi art friends! In this video I'm going to show you how I make to do list notepads that I sell in my art business. This video includes a walkthrough of my Canva design process which I didn't include in my other notepad video. Also, I'll show you the glueing & finishing process and share any notes/questions that came up from my last vid!
🌸 materials for this project:
exacto knife (mine is from Deserres: www.deserres.c...)
ruler and cutting mat (or paper cutter)
binder clips or clamps
paper (I use Xerox Bold Digital 28 lb printer paper here: amzn.to/3Sj9oRh)
printer (mine is an Epson ET-2400 here: amzn.to/42ISxJL)
a flexible glue (Modge Podge Satin Water-Based Sealer here: amzn.to/3pRaPdp)
little paintbrush for the glue
chipboard or other hard paper for the backing
optional stamp (mine is custom from Staples)
magnet sheets you can cut to size (a good option here: amzn.to/3IEvS9y)
4x8 inch clear bags (like these: amzn.to/437hZsQ)

It's extremely satisfying to use a heat knife to cut plastic sleeves down to the exact size you need. Then you also get little narrow extra bags in case you ever wanted to include anything else, would work well for pens or bookmarks.
Which brand heat knife do you use?
Cmd + D to duplicate after the first would do the aligning/spacing for you. I'm a daily Canva user, and find this one of the best beginner Canva videos I've seen - great introduction for anyone, well done :)
Can we talk about the fact that you inserted subtitles to the video? RUclips’s subtitles aren’t always correct and I often have to watch videos w/o audio so thank you so much❤️
Thank you! I am trying to update all my videos to have accurate subtitles!
Thank you Rebecca, I am new to Canva and need all the help I can get navigating it! You’ve inspired me to try this😊
I am so happy to hear that Kathy!! Thanks for watching and I hope you create something really fun!
I just paid 20 for a cash breakdown note pad I love note pads so happy I found this video will definitely be doing lots on my own thanks so much you really helped
I'm so glad it helped! Hope you make some cool ones :)
Thank you for this video! I’ve always wanted to create a personalised one for myself and for friends, you’ve made the steps so simple and easy to follow 🙂
Today I got your video as a suggestion and I was delighted with your work and explanation, thank you very much, very good gift for these upcoming holidays.
Thanks so much for watching! I'm so glad you stumbled upon my video and found it useful. 🥰
Let me just say I love this video. I came across this video based on my watch history and I’m glad I did. The way you explained everything was perfect your video is the first I can honestly say I know how to make a to do list note pad thingy lol with one watch. I just automatically subscribed after this video lol without even watching anything else on your channel.
Thank you so much for the lovely comment! I am so glad you found this video helpful and hope you like my other content as well 😊
Love this! You should use green ink for your branding stamp!
Thank you for the video! I decided to make these as teacher gifts for my kids this year! I plan to have my kids each design their own graphic for the top, and help with the assembly. I love the idea of teacher gifts that can be used up and not kept forever. I think the only extra thing I will have to buy is the cutting mat and a good exacto knife, though doing it with scissors is certainly still an option.
❤❤❤ indeed inspiring
This is a fantastic tutorial. I feel like I could actually make notepads after watching this tutorial! Thank you so much for sharing! 😊
I would love to see how you ship them online and how you take photos of them! I’m still trying to learn on how much to charge on shipping.
I’m thrilled to find great Canadian content on RUclips. As soon as I saw the Peggy’s Cove notepad I knew I’d found it! I will be hunting down your shop! Your NB neighbour. Xoxo
Thanks for finding me! 🥰 So glad you enjoyed & great to connect with a neighbour!
thank you for sharing from a to z, i can't wait to try
Great tutorial! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching! ☺️
This was extremely thorough! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! ☺️
Dont say sorry for crinkly noise - its asmr and very relaxing!
You should do some stationery asmr 😊 more views x
Love this video. Thanks for all of the info.
Be careful. That constant repetition on your hands may take its toll. Speaking from experience.
Thank you for sharing this video. I have a smallbased business and looking for ideas that I could make in bulk vs one off order requests. This is something that I'd like to look into adding to my Creations. I love how you take inspiration for your geographical area which will catch the eye of local customers. Thank you!
Thanks so much for watching! I totally agree, being able to make small batches or one offs is so helpful. Happy crafting! 😊
You truly inspired me! I think I'll be making some personalized ones for loved ones, for the holidays. Don't know why I never thought about making notepads in Canva! Thanks for the tutorial!
I'm so happy to hear that! I made some custom ones for my mom last xmas and it was a big hit. I hope yours turn out great! 🥰
Great info! I love your art.
This video was therapeutic, I could listen to you talk all day.
Hi 👋🏻 New subscriber here. Love Canva tutorials! I also use the Tidy Up feature under Position to align multiple items. Love your video!
Awesome, AWESOME! Thank you for sharing!🎉
Thanks for watching! ☺️
I just bumped into your video and Loved your tutorial! ❤ It is very well delivered and informative. I haven’t used Canva but I think I will check it out. I appreciate your sharing with us. Thank you . 😊
Thank you so much for your kind words and for watching! 🥰 Canva is a lot of fun, I use it for so many things in my business. I'm a fan!
Excellent video. Thank you for sharing.
Probably one of THE most helpful and easy-to-understand tutorials I have ever seen! Will be following you for sure :)
Big big thank you for sharing the entire process from start to end with every bit of detailing❤and loved how you payed attention to every detail for making it crisp and neat!!
Thank you so much! I hope you try it out and make some cool notepads too! 🥰
Really want to try this. I am so bad at cutting straight lines.
❤ thanks for teaching us.
I love this so much. I've been really wanting to start my own stationery business and this is really helpful in seeing how to make these!! Thank you so much - you've got a new subscriber for sure 😊
Thanks so much for watching!! I'm thrilled you found it helpful 🥰 Stationery businesses are so fun, you can do it!!
Hola, me gustó tu video, a pesar que no hablo inglés se entiende muy bien; no se si alguien te lo ha dicho antes o si lo has intentado, para cortar el fondo del mismo color sin tener que separar los diseños, puedes hacer unas pequeñas marcas fuera que te indiquen donde hacer el corte, no se si me explico... unas líneas arriba y abajo que señalen el límite de cada note pad
gran idea, gracias
Love the notepad…thanks for sharing ❤
Majorly SUBSCRIBEDDDDD
Thanks so much! ☺️
I love this tutorial. :) New subs here
Love this video, but a Question for you…Can’t you turn the chipboard horizontal and cut 3 pieces the same width as the paper?
Oh yeah I am much more tactical with my chipboard when I am not filming tutorials lol don't worry!
Hei! Very helpful video. Could you please tell me what type of glue should i use? Thank you!
Did you print in RGB or cymk? I thought canva is only good for digital marketing not good for printables.
I use it for printables all the time and it works great! However their CMYK conversion isn't great. I export as RGB and let my printer do the conversion instead. Nice and vibrant that way.
I love simplicity, thanks for sharing. First time here, but not my last.
Of all the video tutorials I've watched here, yours was the most detailed and straightforward. Super helpful and satisfying to watch. Thank you so much and more power to your business!
Thank you so much for watching! Hope you were able to create some cool notepads! :)
Thank you for sharing ❤
Just found your channel and I appreciate you sharing this tutorial. I like the way you create your thumbnail can you make a video on how you create your thumbnails
So nice 😊👍
This is wonderful. You could also print different designs on one page (like a wide and a skinny and a bookmark) to make use of the space and make easy cut lines
Definitely! Avoid wasting paper whenever possible! :)
Hai am from India in Tamilnadu. Pls teach about canva in an easy way. Thanku dear
Thanks for watching! I'll try to plan some more content around Canva for sure!
Have you tried using a guilotine? It would be so much easier and still super precise.
Yes I have a guillotine now! It is definitely easier on the hands but I still like the precision of manual cutting. 😅
Thank you for sharing ❤
Thanks so much for watching! ☺️
Questions???? 😊 do you use sublimation ink on the printer for this project? Thanks for this helpful tutorial, blessings
Thanks for watching! No I just use regular ink, the kind that comes with the Epson Ecotank :)
you made my day, i need to start with simple things and u gived me solution, thank you so much for you help
Awesome - thank you :) Where are you from? Canada - East coast - PEI? I'm in Ontario - glad to have found you :)
Nice sharing❤
How does one cost a notepad because it obviously depends on how much ink or how much colour you have on your design, but what is the general rule how do you work out how much a ink cartridge gives you
Hi I really love your artistic products innovation, I have a doubt using canva design on designing can cause copyright issues right any suggestions on that part?
This was such a great and helpful tutorial! You are a great teacher! I saw you had a plant journal on Amazon, your designs are amazing! I have been watching goal videos here on RUclips like romoplans goal update 3rd quarter video , budget with soph march goals video, and monthly goal planner (happy planner) aug 2023 by happy2plan, and makselife goal planner videos. Your designs are so lovely, would you ever great a goal planner for Amazon?
Thank you Rebecca
You inspired me
Please your print name of paper
Hi , thanks for sharing your way of doing it. How much does a single pack cost ?
Printer name type
I am glad I found your channel! This is a very informative video. I will sure would order from your shop because I live in ON.
Do you think you will have a daily sheet with hours on it? I like to plan by the hour and I feel that students would also benefit from it. I hardly see any daily sheet with hours except for printables and a few shops.
Thanks so much for watching! 🥰 I don't have any new notepad designs planned for my next big store update but that will all depend on how much I get done in time - I will certainly add that idea to the list, thank you!
This was amazing, it answered a lot of questions that I had. ❤❤
Are inkjet printers different to ecotank in terms of quality of prints?
What you’re epson printer model?
This was really helpful! And then you mentioned Peggy's Cove, hello fellow East Coaster!
Hello! Thanks so much for watching, I love knowing other people around here find my videos! :)
How do you get to the setting you are using where it shows the measurements along the top and side?
This is very pretty🤗 and thank you for the Canva tips!
What else can i use at the back if cant get strawboard or chipboard
Bonjour merci mais je comprends pas l'anglais svp en français 🙏🙏
Hello. It´s pretty. Congratulation.
Guys, just a quick tip for you guys.
In Canva, to change the orientation, we need to buy premium.
But what you can do is that when creating the size, we put the width first and then the height
Example: 8.3 x 11.7
That makes it vertical.
But if we enter the height first and then the width, it will become horizontal.
Hope this helps and happy crafting!
Edit: what i mean by this is that in the place of the width, put the height and repeat for the other.
Hi can I know about the printer you are using?
Thank you! I have been trying think of personalized Christmas gifts for my work team and I think this is it!
What a thoughtful idea! I hope they turn out great ☺️
I am very impressed by your neat way of working. Can't wait to do one by myself 🙌
Thank you, I try to keep things tidy and organized! 😊 I hope yours turns out great!
Super grateful ❤ thank you for this tutorial.. imma start my small print business soon and this is exactly what I was looking for. Im from Canada too and I think I need your suggestion on how to price a 3x3 memo pad please. Thank you soooo much❤
Thanks for watching and I'm glad you found the video helpful! ☺️ I'm going to do a video on stationery pricing soon but generally a memo pad would be (materials + labor) x 2 for wholesale cost, then x 2 again for retail cost. hope that helps!
I absolutely love your videos, espeically the ones about the notepads! I am definitely going to try this. Thank you so much for sharing!
Question: If I make a background pattern in Procreate, how can I put that into Canva? (I have never used Canva before.)
Thanks so much for watching! :) For getting the backgrounds into Canva, you have a few options. You could get the Canva app on your iPad, open up the design there, and import right from your iPad photo library. However, I don't like designing on the iPad app so I'd move to the computer version after if possible! Another option is to put your design on your computer via Google Drive or Airdrop and then drag and drop it into your Canva design when you have it open. It's really easy once you get the hang of it!
This was a GREAT video!!! Thank u!!!
Thank you so much for watching! 🥰
Inspired to try making notepads! Would there be any reason not to use a laser printer instead of an inkjet? Or would it work just as well? Just curious. Thanks!
I'm sure laser printer would work fine! I just don't have one 🤭 good luck with your project!!!
thank you for this. Planning to start a sticker and stationary business as well
Amazing! I hope it goes well! 🥰
please i need canva pro can you help to get one for free dear
LOVE THIS! So cute and very helpful!
Thanks for this video, Rebecca! Is this the free Canva or the professional version? Thanks!!!
It's the free version! Thanks so much for watching :)
@luckysprout I can’t get my line to shorten. I’m attempting to grab the circles on the end of the line but it isn’t working. Can you suggest what I need to do please?
I would probably delete the line and insert a new one in case it was just an element glitch? Also it's way easier to do on computer rather than phone/ipad app if you're doing it that way! Hope you figure it out!
Hi! Thank you so much for this video! I don't know why but for some reason I feel super guilty for like getting to know how to do this for my personal use like I feel super guilty about why I didnt buy from your business after watching this video and instead used this as a tutorial on how to make to do lists for myself even though I live in India and am just 13 so yeah
i have been on procrastinating on making notepads as i have never made them before but after watching this video the process is so much easier than i thought! i appreciate how you broke down the steps and made such a detailed video! thank you so much ☺ definitely subscribing to your channel 🤍
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you found it helpful. I was definitely intimidated at first too, but after making a couple test notepads I realized it was actually pretty straightforward ☺️ Good luck with yours!!
Oh my goodness. I just happened onto your video. I am in Cape Breton ! I love your instructional videos. Thank you for Sharing. Love & Blessings from Nova Scotia, Canada 🇨🇦 xo
You had me at R...haha. Then you threw the L at me and I lost it! Thanks for a great & motivating video. I learned more about Canva than I ever knew! Also, I am totally adding notepads to my handmade crafts. I do not know why I never thought about it before...💞
Hey can u tell me that chip board thickness. Is it 2mm or 3mm please respond
By the way ❤❤ really nice info
I believe it's 2mm ☺️
First time watching your channel here. I am very thankful for this tutorial, it is very generous of you showing us the whole process and offering us your tips and tricks. It was great seeing how you make a quality product cutting by hand.
We are a pretty large family and you inspired me to make birthday reminder pads. Thanks a lot. Regards from México!
Thank you so much for sharing your process. It's truly inspiring and I'm excited to give it a try. God Bless!
Thank you so much! Very helpful and encouraging!😊
Can't wait to try! 😁❤
Blessings from Trinidad and Tobago🇹🇹
Great tutorial and great product. I wish you loads of success! Thank you for sharing.
Great tutorial! Thank you for sharing this 😀✨
Thank you for this! I’m gonna make these for teacher gifts ❤
I love that idea! Hope they turn out great ☺️
Thank you thank you so much I was trying to learn something new that I can also sell. And you were amazing just an answer to my needs. its my first video watching you and i have subbed!
Great video, thank you. What would you use to ship these out to customers?
I just use rigid mailers :)
Thank you for sharing.
Dear Rebecca. I am grateful to you for making this video. You helped me a lot. I would love to learn an A5 size notebook from you. I followed you to benefit from your information.🥰😇
I struggle hard with canva. Subscribing to your channel to learn more ❤
Thank you! I'll try to plan some fun Canva content!
Me too omg I just literally got it and I'm like 😱 OMG.
Would you say its more cost efficient this way?
Its cost efficient if you don't have a budget to order a large quantity from a printer, and have the time to do the handcrafting. In order to get a bulk order of notepads from a printer at a reasonable cost, you'll have to place a minimum order of anywhere from 100-500 units usually, which lots of stationery startups can't afford right away. So it's more cost efficient than ordering small quantities from a printer. :)
This is very pretty! Thank you so much for a detailed tutorial :)
I am so glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching ☺️
I started using the paper you use for your own notepads, and I agree that they are very nice to write on, but I found that if I scratch the design or rub the design, the ink comes off and does a little smear on the paper. It does this after it prints and cools down(it’s been a few days since it’s been printed). Does this happen with your notepads? I use a canon pixma ix6820
Also thank you for your tutorials. They are the most helpful!
Hi! I haven't had any issues like you've described with the paper, how strange... it sounds like there's some problem with the ink on the paper, but I don't know why. I use this paper/ink combo for everything (notepads, stationery, art print inserts, etc.) and they all hold up really well. I'm sorry you're having this problem! :( but thank you so much for watching!
@@luckysprout Thank you so much for responding! Your tutorials are the best I’ve seen. It is clear, to the point, and informative. I’ll try to figure out what is happening with my prints. Thank you for all that you do!
