How to make your own tear-off notepads

An economical way to make recycled paper notepads:

Take about 10-20 sheets of used printer paper, cut the sheets in half with a paper chopper (if your office has one) 

Alternately, if you routinely trim paper on the cutting board, save any off cuts that are about 4 inches wide and use these, rather than throwing them away.

Crease the stack of paper (about the size of half a letter-size sheet) and fold it in half. This will double the number of pages.

Staple 2-3 staples across the top and you have your notepad! Tear across the staples and it will tear off a page neatly
