DIY Wall Notepad

Wall Notepad @themerrythoughtI love list-making. I’m constantly rewriting lists of what I need to do each day throughout the week or supplies I need to buy or project idea lists. I’m not usually too organized with my lists though and I usually have a stash of them that end up at the bottom of my purse. This wall notepad is perfect for me because I can pull off the entire notepad to think through my list and write things out and then hang it back on the wall to remind be what needs to be done. And the chalkboard space at the bottom is good for quick reminders.
This project is also the perfect way to put to use all of the little to-do lists/notepads that you’ve received as gifts or couldn’t pass up in the dollar bins at Target. 😉
