Cheap and Easy Scribbling Pads

Everyone receives many items of junk mail that do not take long on their journey to the recycling bin. A lot of these items are only printed on one side - I keep these.

I also keep other single-side printed items such as 10 pin bowling score sheets and printer test pages.

Using slide binders left over from my very first Instructable I clip such items together to make useful scribble pads.

A4 Slide Binders - you probably have some of these already.

Several sheets of single side printed junk mail etc. You will definitely have these!

1. Make a tidy pile of single-side printed pages with the unprinted sides uppermost. The maximum number of pages is determined by the capacity of the slide binder (typically 40 pages in the case of a 10mm binder)
2. Slide a binder along the edge of the pile to securely clip the sheets together.
3. Scribble, draw and outline fantastic ideas on the blank sides.
4. That's it!

Somehow the binders cause me to make more use of the 'scrap' paper than if it was kept as loose sheets.

I have not had to buy paper or pads for several years using this technique, thus helping the planet and my bank balance!
