Personalized Stationary Notepad

It seems like over the last year our family has had (and is going to have) a lot of missionaries going out into the world.

My mom wanted to give them something more personalized as they left on their mission. She wanted me to create a special stationary just for them for writing letters home.

That is how this project came together.

Of course this would be a great gift for anyone that loves to write letters or is going away to college.

I used my photoshop elements to create a header that I liked. Of course I didn’t want anything to fancy, but wanted to include their name and where they were serving. Then I made it so I could print 2 on an 8.5 x 11 paper. (so my finished stationary would be 8.5 x 5.5)

I printed them out on some fancy paper that I found at Walmart and cut them in half.

I lined them all up and put a sturdy card on each side (so the papers would stay stiff as I used the glue) and secured it all together with 2 clips.

I used an adhesive that I had on hand but you could use white school glue or even rubber cement for this part. I put a thin line of glue on the “spine” and used my finger to smooth it out. I let it dry and then did another coat. You can repeat that process until you get a thickness you are comfortable with. After it was dry, I removed the clips and the cards on the outside.

I tied it up with a box of envelopes and you could even do some pens to deliver the gift.

It’s something a little different that they might not think about but will probably be thankful for once they are serving.

I know I would love it if it was for me!!

It’s a simple, personal gift.

Happy Gifting!
