In my e-newsletter last week (sign up here!) I shared an adorable project my team member Heidi Olsen showed us all how to make. Many of you asked for a photo tutorial, so I put one together for you. Now you can make your own! They're super easy, and who can't use more Post-It Notes, am I right?
Here's Heidi's projects, all packaged up for her next craft fair. They make great stocking stuffers! They would also be really adorable and economical party favors, or even a party craft for your child's birthday.
To begin, you'll need:
- Simply Scored or Stampin' Trimmer with scoring blade
- 3×3 Post-It Note pad in color that coordinates with project
- Mini pens or pencils (I got them at the Dollar Tree)
- Stamps and ink to decorate
Other stuff to think about:
- choose a color cardstock for your base that will not show dirt easily. It will take some time to use all the Post-Its.
- use good-quality (not flimsy) cardstock. The holder needs to last as long as the notes do!
- I don't use popped-up pieces or embellishments on my covers because they'll just catch and come off in a purse or briefcase.
That's that! Cute, quick, and super practical… that's the kind of "real-life papercrafting" you'll find at Song of My Heart! Please leave a comment if you're going to try this project. I LOVE it when you speak up, and it keeps bloggers encouraged and posting when people leave feedback. Thanks for stopping by today!
Thank you so much for the tutorial Lyssa! I’m going to have to swing by my Dollar Tree so I can grab some mini pens & pencils – I always wonder where to find them. I think these will make the perfect gifts for the staff in my husband’s office. Have a great day!
Love this! Thank you so much for the tutorial and tips:-). Yep! I’m gonna give it a try!!
So cute for neighbors christmas gifts. Thanks for a super idea.
Lyssa, you are a very talented lady and (residing in Calgary, AB Canada) I look forward to receiving these on a regular basis. Your photo tutorial today was phenomenal and easy to understand. Thanks again for sharing your awesome work and ideas with us. Have a great day.
Thank you for sharing such great instructions and illustrations.
Wonderful instructions! I’m going to make some of these as gifts for co-workers.
