Here is an easy upcycling project: make yourself a DIY endless notepad with receipt paper rolls.
DIY Endless Notepad
I found 6 receipt paper rolls the other day in my office that I hadn’t seen in years and probably would never use. I don’t even have a machine that uses receipt paper.
Since I can’t stand waste, I figured I better make something useful out of those receipt paper roll.
DIY Tutorial
First, I glued some leftover gift wrap paper around a thin piece of wood I bought at the craft store.
I ran a rubber band through the center of the receipt roll and secured both ends with a clip at the top.
As you can see, the clip also serves as a way to hang it on the wall.
You can add magnets to the back of the notepad to attach it to your refrigerator.
Lastly, I added another rubber band at the bottom of the wood piece and ran the paper through it to hold it in place.
There you go, a super easy way to make your own endless notepad.

very nice! Look at mine, a little different but same idea, I improved it by adding a cutter on the bottom!

Great idea, if you can make sure the kids don’t get a hold of it :)
Lorenzo says
Yeah actually it’s not a real cutter, it’s taken from the kitchen paper roll so it’s not dangerous at all! ;) kid’s proof
