Post-It Notes Fridge Holder - Tutorial

Hello guys!

Several of you liked my post-it notes holder, so I decided to make a tutorial about how to put together one of your own.

For my second holder I used an image from the C.C.Designs latest release - "Cupid".

The tutorial is long ONLY because it's very detailed :)

What you’ll need:

12” X 12” cardstock (X1)

Score Board

Paper Trimmer

Ruler

Pencil

Scissors

* Score-tape (Optional)

Step 1

From the 12” X 12” cardstock  cut 2 pieces:

5 1/4" X 12”

4 1/4” X 6 7/8”

Using your score board, make the scores on the 5 1/4" X 12” along the longer side at the following marks:

2 1/4"

2 3/4"

9 3/4"

Along the shorter side score at the following marks:

3/8”

7/8”

4 3/8”

4 7/8”

Take the smaller piece of cardstock (4 1/4” X 6 7/8”) and on the shorter side make the score lines at the following marks:

3/8”

3 7/8”

This is all the scoring you will need to make so far.

  

Step 2

Let’s make some measuring and cutting according to the pictures below.

Place the cardstock piece as shown (two score lines should be at the bottom), and measure 1.5” from the top second line, Make the marks on both sides:

Cut the small flaps on both sides. Snip the corners just a little bit.

Cut off  3/8” on both sides as shown:

Make the angled cuts on both sides up to the marks we’ve made earlier:

 

 Cut off 0.5 on both sides, to get the following result:

 

To make a shaped flap, make two marks at the distance of 1 5/8” from the first bottom score line down, on both sides of the cardstock piece:

 

Cut the paper from the sides up to the marks:

 

If you want the front flap to be of a rectangular shape, leave it as it is. If you want to oval it a little, use any stencil and round the corners as follows:

Don’t forget to erase the pencil line:

 This is what we’ve got so far:

Take the 4 1/4” X 6 7/8” piece of cardstock. Make the marks and cut as follows:

Use a score-tape or a glue, to glue the two pieces of cardstock together as shown:

If you intend to make any stamping of your logo on the back, do it now.

From the left-over strips of paper, make a pen holder, glue it on the side:

Measure and cut the designer paper:

Follow the pictures to glue our construction together:

Now glue the magnets to the back side of the post-it notes holder. I use tiny magnets which I bought at E-bay and Glossy Accents. 4 magnets – one for each of the corners:

And we’re done! What is left is only to embellish it up:

And once again my finished result:

Mixed Brown Color Cherry Blossoms
Small Purple Turquoise Paper Flowers
