Post-It Note Holder

Hey Hey Hey!!!!
(That's me being really excited to share this idea with you.)


How many people in your life do you have to make presents for this year? Teachers? Church leaders? Neighbors? You can't be expected to buy all those gifts! 

Here is a really F.U.N. idea for a gift that you can make for any of those random... er, special people in yours or  your kid's life. 

Materials:



  • Decorative Paper
  • Scissors
  • 3.5 x 5 plastic photo frame                                                                                                                                                  (the kind with the stand attached)
  • Embellishments                                                                                                                                                  (I'm using ribbon and hang tags)
  • Post-it Note stack pulled into 1/2 or 1/3                                                                                                            (each section will go on it's own frame, so you can use 1 pad for multiple gifts)
Directions

1. Cut paper to fit the size of your frame


2. Insert the paper to photo frame 
            Add a piece of decorative paper to th back, also, for a finished look.

 



3. Add embellishments to the top of the frame
            The stand should be at the top of the photo frame. 


4. Add a section of post-it notes to the middle of the frame



Now you have a really cute post-it note holder that anyone would love to have. 


Photo frame: $1 Wal-Mart
Scrapbook Paper: $.60 (full sheet) Hobby Lobby
Ribbon: $1 (full spool) Hobby Lobby

Happy crafting!

  3. Very cute! And even cheaper if you stock up on Post-Its at the back to school sales. Just don't give one to Ben, cause he's not allowed to bring stuff like that to work...

  6. You're all right-- this gift is so SIMPLE, so FAST, and appropriate for SO MANY PEOPLE, that you could just set up an assembly line to make a ton at one time! I did :) Think big.

  7. Do you just use the adhesive on the back of the post it note to put it on the frame? OR Should I add some sort of glue to make it stick longer?

  8. Yes, the note adhesive should be enough to stick to the frame. If it isn't, you can use an alternate source of stickiness!
