Craft a Clever DIY Back to Back Notepad for Everyday Use
Looking for a simple and satisfying DIY project that’s both practical and creative? This DIY back to back notepad tutorial is the perfect place to start. It’s a great way to turn your favorite planner pages, templates, or notes into a compact and reusable notepad set. If you’re new to planner crafting, our beginner’s guide to making custom planners covers everything you need to get started.
Whether you’re organizing your week, creating a themed gift, or just love stationery, this project brings a thoughtful twist to your desk. The “back-to-back” style lets you bind two different sections—like a weekly planner on one side and a brain dump on the other—into one cohesive piece.
In this guide, we’ll show you how to align, bind, and decorate your notepad using easy materials you already have at home. It’s beginner-friendly, fun, and fully customizable using templates from Planify Pro. This project uses PVA glue binding — the same technique featured in our guide to decorating and selling custom notepads. For more binding options, check our complete guide to book binding methods.
Let’s bring your planner ideas to life—one notepad at a time. Ready to make your own? Check our Mediterranean Collection Here!
