Having worked in small and large printing presses, you could easily make the pads. (Otherwise, go to a FedEx Office and have them do a spiral one cut to size or a small local print shop might do it for you cheaply, esp. if you tell them what you want to do.)

All you need is padding glue, paper and cardboard cut to size needed and some weights. Brush the glue on excessively on the edge of a bench and let drip off. You can add more as desired but the excess will mostly drip off. Typically when I did this I would do a stack, so think 50 pages+cardboard+50 pages+cardboard x 10. Then after a few hours, or wait a day if desired, lift the cardboard of the top pad and slice slowly with a butter knife (no need to get a padding knife, just something barely sharp. It should slice easily through but lightly lifting or pulling up on the "pad" while help. If you damage the first page below, just rip it off and it's clean.
