You can make a note book - with
real $ notes!
Put this together in the same shape as a standard check book. Cut your back and
front covers from thin, colored card and use cloth tape; seal the closed end.
Put the back cover on your table, and then apply a small amount of rubber
cement to the underside of the left edge of the first note. Press the note in place,
parallel, but slightly to the right of the left edge of the back cover. Press the edge
of the note down on the back cover.
Do the same with as many notes as you want to use in the book. If you decide to
put some paper pieces under the notes to make the book look thicker, make sure
that they are the same color and, of course, the same thickness and size as the
real notes that you use.
You don't glue the edge of the front cover to the top note because you would not
be able to tear out the note cleanly. Join the front and back covers with a strip of
cloth tape, leaving enough loose tape between them so that it's easy for you to
get at the stack of glued notes inside.
When you are with some friends and want to surprise them, take out your book
of notes.
Hold the top right corner of each note as you tear (actually lift it) from the stack.
If you rub your fingernail against the next note in the stack as you tear the top
note out, you will get a reasonable imitation of the sound you hear when you tear
a check from your check book.
You could say something like," I love these new note-books" as you show the
book around. Then say, "and I don't pay any charges like you do with checks!"
