Super cute!
Are they notepads?

I can't tell how you've finished your edges. Did you just fold the edges over and stitch through both layers? or is that a second, white piece of fabric stitched to the back? But I love the stitching. Very well done.

The triforce is on a sketchbook, here's a better pic of the whole thing

Thank you so much ^_^!
I did indeed fold them over and stitch both layers, but I also turned them into iron on patches with some iron on adhesive. That's the paper backing that you see poking around some of the edges.

That's awesome! Such a unique idea! Have you used them on anything? Is that how you got the one on the note book?

That is indeed how I got the triforce on the notebook. Because of the weight of the patch and the fact that couldn't iron it from the back, I had to iron it a lot longer than it said to, but it seems to have stuck pretty well

Those are very cute! Maybe I'll do something like that for my son's backpack!
