(Part 2) Best office & school paper according to redditors

We sell these where I work! They’re made by Kikkerland and the style is called “New Wave.” I found them on Amazon by searching those together! Here’s one of them: A5 New Wave Notebooks https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07C9HTJMY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_9MUYAbE7NPHV3

The scrolls I made (the paper was ordered from Amazon) and the map also was ordered from amazon.

If that's true, you guys need to do some basic cross-shopping then. Buying at a retail location will always have a markup, but that's absolutely insane. Whoever is approving that without looking for a way to reduce the cost should be fired. They're basically setting the money on fire at that amount.

Clover's site shows their Clover Station Printer takes 3 1/8in x 230ft rolls. Here's a 50 pack for $60 on Amazon. The Clover Mini and Mobile use 2 1/4in wide by 85ft rolls. Here's a 50 pack of those for $23 on Amazon. If it's the Star SP700 series Kitchen Printer they have on their site, that takes standard paper rolls 76mm across (3in) and 85mm in diameter (150ft roll). Here's a 50 pack for $35 on Amazon.

EDIT: Took a look at Staples for comparison.

3 1/8in x 230ft rolls are $40 for 10 rolls or $100 for 50 rolls. That's insane in comparison unless you're literally out and have no other option. And those are the prices they have online nationwide that ship from a central warehouse. In-store might be even higher.

GOOD NEWS EVERYBODY, you can buy this stuff in rolls and cut to length. For $30, you can buy a whole roll.

20 foot roll.

To add on to this, you can buy A3 Tomoe River paper on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Tomoe-River-A3-size-Sheets-TMR-A3P-W/dp/B01GFRKAYW

That's an awesome gift! They must feel very happy to your kind present.

There are not so many medieval-looking notebooks out there. You can find a few on Amazon with the keyword "medieval notebook." But paper quality is questionable on those products. If you have no other options but these, then you have to be careful on your ink choices. Iron-gall inks tend to feather less and behave well on cheap papers. Check out Platinum Classic inks. They are iron-gall and perhaps the vintage sepia green/black/brown color you are looking for.

(EDIT: sorry, forgot that the notebook must be vegan. But inks should be alright.)

My idea is: how about using a parchment? What I know is that J.Herbin and other manufacturers sell parchments at reasonable prices. This way you will waste less papers than using a notebook.

Here's one I just found on Amazon.

https://www.amazon.com/Southworth-Parchment-8-5x11-Sheets-984C/dp/B00006IE2D/ref=sr_1_17?ie=UTF8&qid=1503235181&sr=8-17&keywords=parchment

Reviews say this is suitable for fountain pens. This is not real parchment so it might be okay?

https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Parchment-Illuminated-Manuscript-Quality/dp/B00NOFJGGM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1503235535&sr=8-1&keywords=genuine+parchment

Unlike the one above this seems like a genuine one. (It may not be okay for vegans.) Wonder if it would work with a dip pen? If anybody has an experience with a genuine parchment, please leave your thoughts here :D

Hope this helped!

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07QLLVRX9/ref=sspa_mw_detail_0?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1SZXGD2SRTZKG is a link to the pack that I have, but they have others! They’re amazing!!

I agree with Mo Willems. The Pigeon books of his are fan favorites with most kids! Pete the Cat is another great series kids love. There is also a series “there was an old lady” (who swallowed a fly is probably one your remember) but they have one for each season and various others. Those are pretty popular with kids.

I get a lot of my books for very cheap prices at Ollie’s Bargain Outlet. You have to dig for them sometimes but I’ve uncovered lots of great books there by digging.

Libraries also will often have cheap books that were either donated for the book sales or that have been taken out of circulation. My library has a small section year round that can be purchased. I’ve found some other great books here too!

Something like this might be useful-
Dry Erase Pockets - Reusable + Oversized - Size 10 X 13 Inches - 30 Pockets for Adults and Children - Mixed Colors - Ideal to use at School or at Work https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071RYD3J4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_bVITBb7N4DS10

She can place any paper inside and have kids use dry erase markers to do the activity.

I’m guessing you mean refillable rather than reusable.

I’ve spent the last couple of weeks figuring out the system I wanted after keeping a bujo since August.

Here’s what I decided to use:

Tul Junior discbound
https://www.officedepot.com/a/products/1053367/TUL-Custom-Note-Taking-System-Discbound/

I didn’t get the leather because it has credit card sized pockets on the inside cover that makes writing a little bumpy. I didn’t get the plastic cover because I wanted a firm surface so I could write without sitting at a desk.

I didn’t get a six ring binder like Filofax or a simple half size 3 ring binder because I found the rings made it harder to write. Discbound lets you fold the notebook back on itself. I chose the smaller discs. Larger ones started interfering with my writing.

The Arc system from Staples is equally nice. I got the Tul because I found a Tul paper punch at the thrift store for $5. I looked at the Happy Planner because Michael’s carries it and has all those great 40% off coupons, but it was a little too cutesy for me. I like the minimalist bujo.

The key to refilling a discbound is to use a heavier paper than just copy paper. I’m so darn ADHD, I need two pages for a daily entry...one to scrawl notes, site grocery lists, to dos for the next hours etc to get myself back on track, etc, and the other is a page page that’s actually legible and useful with info to preserve. I intend to toss my scrawly pages. When I was using a bound book, there was too much clutter. Bujo is so great because everything’s in one place, but I don’t need to save all my daily anxiety for posterity. But I’d go broke paying the retail price for little filler packs of 50 sheets.

PAPER
After looking quite a bit, I settled on this very good deal on paper: https://www.amazon.com/Premium-Weight-White-Sheets-Letter/dp/B01EKHNVRW/ref=sr_1_29?keywords=Paper+box+32+lb&qid=1573008633&sr=8-29

It’s already cut in half. I was just overwhelmed with choosing from the paper reams and I don’t have a trimmer so this saves me having to cut pages in half.

I’ll probably use this link on this page to download a dot grid to print on my paper. I haven’t tried this yet so I’m not sure it works but it should. nIf not there are other dot grid templates around. https://savorandsavvy.com/dot-grid-paper-printable/

Before I decided to go discbound, I had tried a moleskine and this very nice inexpensive hardcover dot grid from Michael’s (extra cheap with 40% off coupon.) https://www.michaels.com/black-dot-journal-by-artists-loft/10532092.html. But I need to be able to rearrange pages and keep tweaking the pages/format I use.

Apologies but it is my first time posting on DnD and I was being careful about not breaking the advertising rule, even though I don't represent the company or anything. The brand I use is called Magic Whiteboard. They come in big rolls like cellophane.

UK £17.49: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Magic-Whiteboard-MAGICWHITE-x/dp/B001P5UAV8

US $65.99:
https://www.amazon.com/Magic-Whiteboard-Feet-Erase-Sheets/dp/B005MQPL3S

I'm not sure if the sizes of those two products are exactly the same but I believe so.

The foam board I used was just normal foam board. I had a glossy white one and a matte black one. I do not suggest using super glue on the matte black as it will absorb into the paper and leave behind a oil-slick looking halo around the insect.

What I did was glue parchment paper (something like this) to the foam backing. I really liked the contrast it made with the insects, and it also gave it a classy and more professional look, I thought.

It's magic whiteboard.

Have you considered using carbon paper to transfer the images? Would save you a lot of time, not having to cut out your stencils. Its simple to use, relatively cheap, and somewhat reusable.

All you would have to do is place the carbon paper between the wood and the image, trace the outline of the image with a pencil. The carbon paper will transfer your tracing straight to the wood. Then you'd just have to carve out the design.

In case you're unfamiliar with the product here's an example of carbon paper.

I designed my own in excel and then bought carbon copy paper from amazon (250 sets for I think $20ish?). Just make sure you put them in the printer the right way.

The pages are not stuck together but it seems like an easy enough solution for me.

Like these: http://www.amazon.com/NCR-5887-Collated-Carbonless-Appleton/dp/B0028LDPU6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1418405429&sr=8-1&keywords=ncr+paper

I use these for worksheets but think they would work well for your idea!

carbon paper. place this under the design you wish to burn. and trace the design. the carbon paper will transfer onto the wood.

I use C.R.Gibson. It is simple, but classy. If you'd like something fancy, try searching etsy. They have a ton of vendors that make beautiful stationary.

If I'm home and sketching ideas I use my 4'x6' whiteboard.

Its visible from anywhere in my garage I can write big its easy to erase if changes need to be made.

when I'm not home any random piece of paper and a pen.

I feel like this and this are both atractive stationary without being overly feminine. Personally if I had a need for stationary I would use both.

The best I could do. One of my friends has been raving about this movie and I've seen snippets and gosh it's a pretty movie. Old Georgie.
