Bind it All - Reusable - Magnetic Notepad

I purchased magnetic notepads last year at a great price and wanted to create a more decorative cover.  After some consideration I thought that the cover would be more useful if it was "refillable".  I started lacing ribbon in, out and around the two covers that I bound together with my Bind-it-All and found a way to tie a decorative knot on the front and have the ribbon hold the notepad in place to the back cover.
