Matchbook Post-It™ Note Holder

by Cindy Coutts

Create a matchbook holder for your Post-It™ notes.

Supplies

  • 4" x 3" Post-It™ Note Pad
  • 4 1/8" x 9" piece of cardstock
  • Scoring Tool
  • Stamps
  • Ink
  • Punches
  • Patterned Paper
  • Ribbon
  • Strong Adhesive
  • Foam Adhesive

Step-by-Step

  1. Step 1

    Score the cardstock at 3 3/8", 3 9/16", and 7 9/16".

  2. Step 2 (Optional)

    Punch the edge of your cardstock closest to the 7 9/16" score line with a border punch.

  3. Step 3

    Add strong adhesive under the score line closest to the punched edge.

    Carefully fold the flap of the cardstock up so that the sides are even.

    Place two more pieces of strong adhesive on the back of the Post-It™ note pad.

  4. Adhere your note page securely right before the 3-3/8 score line so that the flap can be folded over.

  5. Step 4

    Decorate the front of your note pad holder with patterned paper.

    Hint:
    Here the patterned paper measures 4" x 3 1/4".

  6. Step 5

    Stamp images and sentiment.

  7. Punch or cut out stamped images and adhere to the front with foam dots.

  8. Step 6

    Cut a piece of ribbon long enough to go around the bottom of the holder.

    Make sure to line up the ribbon edges on the front of the lip. Tie a bow with another piece of ribbon and adhere over your first piece.

  9. Decorate the inside of the flap of your holder.

What an awesome little gift idea. Everyone uses post-its, right???? Your office colleagues, the nurse at your doctor's office, receptionist, the mailperson or newspaper person??? What a great personalized easy to make gift for someone you can't THINK of what to get.
