Supplies:
Supplies:
-81/5 x 11 sheet of cardstock (I am using Sahara Sand)
-Your favorite DSP (I used To the Nines) cut at 3 3/8 x 4 3/8 (Front, under Post it holder) & 3 1/5 x 2 1/5 (Pen Holder)
-If you'd like to cover you pen you'll need a piece for that and you'll have to measure it out as pen sizes vary!
-Tombow Glue
-Bone Folder
-Craft Knife and Ruler or paper trimmer
-A Pen and Post-it Notes
-Your favorite DSP (I used To the Nines) cut at 3 3/8 x 4 3/8 (Front, under Post it holder) & 3 1/5 x 2 1/5 (Pen Holder)
-If you'd like to cover you pen you'll need a piece for that and you'll have to measure it out as pen sizes vary!
-Tombow Glue
-Bone Folder
-Craft Knife and Ruler or paper trimmer
-A Pen and Post-it Notes
Start by scoring the short side of your 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper at 2 1/2" and at 6".
I marked my score lines in black so they would be easy to see!
Turn your paper and Score again at 3 1/4", 7 3/4" and 10"
Glue your 3 3/8 x 4 3/8 sheet of DSP in the middle box, it should fit just inside the score lines.
On the opposite side, you will be cutting a 3 1/8" long line 1" down from the score line.Make sure your paper is as shown with the 1" score line as the top of your paper!
Using a ruler or a paper trimmer cut your 3 1/8" line. It should be about a 1/4" from each sides score line.
Slip the back of your Post it notes into the cut on the side with the DSP.
Turn your paper over and fold all of the creases using your bone folder.
It should now look like this, now fold the other score lines towards the back of the post it notes.
Slip the long end into the opening on the short end. Turn over and voila post it holder! Now to add the pen holder on the top!
Score your the short side of your 3 1/2 x 2 1/2 piece of DSP every 1/2" or at 1/2", 1", 1 1/2", 2".
Go over creases with your bone folder.
put a little bit of Tombow Glue on one end and adhere to make a square as shown below.
This should be how yours looks, now put a little bit of Tombow Glue on the side with the fold and adhere to the top of the holder.
Hopefully this is how yours looks!
Wrap pen in DSP, embellish a little and your done! Easy, cute and usable!! I hope you liked my tutorial!
