These Post-It Note Holders are such a great gift and so easy! — These Post-it note holders are such a great gift and so easy!

I have been eyeing a few pins on Pinterest for Post-it note holders for awhile now. I made my first one in April for my friend JaQue’s birthday. I also did a load of these before this blog post that were for Mother’s Day. I sent a bunch of them out and with the school year coming to an end, I did not even get a picture! So I decided that instead of plain “thank you” notes for some of my amazing coworkers, I would make them some of these as well! It was super easy and I was really impressed with the result product!

What you will need…

cardstock paper

scoring board

scissors

mini pens (These can be tricky to find. I found mine at Walmart in the party favors section They were $1.97 for 8 pens!)

Post-it notes

glue runner

large permanent glue dots

First, start with a piece of cardstock cut at 3 1/4" x 7 3/8". You will need to score it at 3 1/8", 3 1/2", and 3 7/8". — First, start with a piece of cardstock cut at 3 1/4″ x 7 3/8″. You will need to score it at 3 1/8″, 3 1/2″, and 3 7/8″.

Fold the scored lines with the middle one facing out.

Cut two slits stopping at the second score mark. This is where your pen holder comes in.

Bend down the scoring line toward the longer end. This is where you will put some tape to hold the pen holder in place.

Make sure only the longer side is the one that is connected to the base of the holder.

Place the Post-it pad on the bottom part of the holder with permanent glue dots to hold the pad down securely. The last part is so easy! Add a piece of cardstock cut at 2 3/4″ x 3″ and add a name on if you like! Add your pen and voila!

These were so much fun to make! I just wrote a message on the inside and it doubles as a gift AND a card! Double score! You must try these! They are too fun and way too easy to pass up!
