Fight Like a Girl Post It Note Holder

Today I wanted to share how to make this fun Post It Note holder for 4x4 post it notes.  Of course it will work with all sorts of post it pads but you'll have to do a bit of adjusting on the measurements.  I will be making one later in the year (for Christmas) using the regular 3x3 size pads.

First you're going to cut a strip of cardstock 12x4.5"   Now score the cardstock at the following points....

 

.5"

1"

1.5"

2"

6.5"

7"

11.5"

 

Now, fold three of the 1/2" sections over and make two cuts as shown about 1" apart near the center of the fold.

 

 

Bend this fold so the cut section is out and the ends are pressed toward the center of the holder.  This is going to be the pen holder.

 

 

Now you bend the other three creases so they form a wall beside the pen area and a tab that you will glue to the holder as shown.

 

 

Apply glue to these three areas....

 

 

Pinch and adhere the folds as shown.  You now have the right side of your holder finished!

 

 

 

Flip the strip of cardstock over.  Fold and glue the 1/2" strip on this side down.  This is just an extra re-enforcing edge to give your holder a bit more durability.

 

 

Insert and glue the post it note pad down beside the pen holder.

 

 

And your basic Post-It Note Holder is finished!

 

 

 

It's time to decorate.  Gather up your desired images and embellish the front as desired.  These are all from Altered Pages.

 

 

And here is my finished holder....

 

 

 

 

 

Simple as that!

These note holders make great stocking stuffers as well as a nice little gift to have on hand for any occasion!
