Last week was teacher appreciation week.
So I made a few gifts for my girls teachers.
I got a small metal tin & put a travel lotion and hand sanitizer in it.
Then I included a notebook or post-it note holder.
Sorry I realized I never took a picture of the final gift,
but here is the gifts I made.
4" x 6" Notebook with Pen
Sketchbook: 4"x6" (from Staples)
Cover: 9 5/8" x 6 1/8"
Score: 5", 4 1/2", 4 1/8"
Cut: 2 slits 1" apart to hold R.S.V.P style pen (from Staples)
Score: every 1/8" along pen opening, vertically to help it bend evenly.
Note:
the score marks are 3/8" and 1/2" to make a larger opening for the
larger pen. If using a MINI Pen score 3/8" and 3/8" apart and trim off
extra in length. These numbers are just guides to give you an idea of
how to make it.
Ribbon
Washie Tape
Post-it Note Holder with Pen
I
didn't come up with this idea. But thank you to whoever is the original
designer because many of us in the crafting world make this wonderful
gift, now.
Base: 7 3/8" x 3 1/4"
Pattern Paper: 3" x 2 7/8"
Score at: 3 1/8", 3 1/2", 3 7/8"
Cut
2 slits about 3/4"-1" apart in the middle when the scored section is
folded. This will make the pen holder. The 3 1/8" side will be the front
of the holder. Use tacky tape or a strong adhesive, put it where the
back of the pen holder will be. Fold out the pen holder first. Then put
tacky tape or a strong adhesive on the back of the post-it note holder.
Put it in the holder then decorate the outside.
I used several Close to my Heart stamps for this project. I stamped them on White Dasiy Cardstock and then cut them all out. Then I laid them out to see how I wanted it to look.
