Post It Note Holder Tutorial

Last week I was in charge of my sorority alumnae group's craft night.  I made each of the attendees a little thank you treat, these quick and easy post it note holders.  This tutorial will help you make a basic folded version. 

To Make One Holder:
  • Cut cardstock to 7.5 X 3.5 inches
  • Score at 3.5 and 4 inches in along the sides that are 7.5 inches.  Easiest to do with either a score pad or paper trimmer with score blade.
  • Fold at score marks, up and over, and you have the basic structure completed. 
  • Take a stack of post it notes, mine are the generic brand from Target that come 4 for $1.97, and glue to the bottom.
  • From here it's really up to you on how to decorate it.
Decoration:
  • Cut solid color cardstock mats to 3.25 X 3.25 inches
  • Cut patterned paper to 3 X 3 inches
Assemble in this Order:
  • Make holder
  • Put together decorations for both sides of the holder's outside.
  • Glue on decorations to the outside.
  • Glue in the stack of post it notes.
{Front and Back}

Tips: I used a glue stick to attach all papers, it was the cheapest way to adhere paper to paper.
