Notepad of Money

I wanted to find a creative way of gifting money for a Christmas gift to our son.  I searched on Pinterest and found this idea.

Products used

• Brand new $1 bills (50)
• Notepad Compound (Amazon link)
• Bind-it-All book measures 7" x 3"
• Stampin' Up! Products
• Holiday Lounge Designer Series Paper
• Sahara Sand cardstock
• Whisper White cardstock
• Great Greetings and Holiday Keepsake Ornament stamp sets
• Ruby Red ink
• Corner Rounder, Ornament and Scallop Tag Topper hand punches
• Basic Pearls
• Silver Bakers Twine
• Glue Dots
• Miniature Tree Trimming wire

Helpful Hints

1. I tried to get new five, ten and twenty dollar bills but my bank only carried ones.
2. I found the best twenties I had and stuck them between the one dollar bills.  The glue didn't "grab" them so I removed the twenties. (sorry David)
3. The less often you touch the bills, the better.
4. Add a backing cardboard to the bottom of the stack of bills (6 1/8" x 2 5/8").  This is what you attach to the book.
5. Use binder clips, place them close to the edge you are gluing.  I placed cardboard shims to protect the money from being damaged by the clips.
6. Apply thin layers of glue, allowing to dry completely each layer.  I made approximately twelve layers of glue.
