how it works
Sticker Lock Install Instructions
The Pads

Fold them both design side out.If yours looks like this you did it right.


Now peel the paper off of one side of your folded pad.

Un-stick 1 side

Align the fold on the center edge of your book cover.

Push the sticky side down.


Now peel the paper off the other side and stick that down. Your Pad should look like a clamp on your cover.


Repeat the process for the other cover.

Tie & Tab

Get your TIE and TAB.


Peel half the paper off and stick the tie tab on the end. (Align them so they fit.)

This will help you open/close the tie on your book.

Close your book

Your tie is ready to use. Stick it to either cover of your book. Stick your tie to only pads ONLY.


The pad & tie combination keep your book closed.


Voila!

about us

We've all been there: wrestling with unruly sketchbooks, bent covers, and dented pages. When binder clips and rubber bands failed to do the trick,

Pad Tie was born to save the day. But we didn't stop at just a quick fix.

We went back to the drawing board to build the ultimate creative toolkit for artists, paper buffs, and small biz folks. Pad Tie has evolved into a complete four-part system designed to elevate how you create:


  • The Book Lock: Keep your pages snug, safe, and perfectly secure.
  • Stickers: Express yourself and customize your setup.
  • Applied Juxtaposition: Push your creative boundaries and play with placement.
  • Frame Vault: Protect, showcase, and archive your best work.

This collection doesn't just save your pages—it organizes, it promotes, it does it all. Take a look and see for yourself!
