The second papercraft item I did for the recent Northborough Cultural Council Open Studios event is this Post-it Note and Pen Easel Holder. I really enjoy creating papercraft items for gift giving and this was a fun project to do!
To create this holder you will need the following:
Cardstock - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" for front, 3 3/4" x 8 1/4" for back, 7/8" x 4 1/4" for pen holder
Patterned paper - 3 1/2" x 4" for upper part of front, 3 1/2" x 2" for front of pocket
Tools: trimmer with scoring blade or scoring platform, scissors, Tear Tape
1. Score the cardstock pieces according to the following diagrams.
2. Fold along the score lines. Cut away the grey areas from the front scored piece as shown in the following diagram. Cut the tabs at angles.
3. Adhere the patterned paper pieces to the front section as shown.
4. Apply Tear Tape to the front piece, back piece, and pen holder as shown.
5. Adhere the pen holder just below the patterned paper on the front piece - do not remove the adhesive backing from the tab yet.
6. Fold in the side and bottom tabs of the pocket and adhere. Remove backing from pen holder tab adhesive and carefully position to create holder.
7. Adhere the back to the top of the front piece and then the bottom tab to the back of the front piece to create the easel.
8. Add some stamped and die cut pieces to embellish the holder. Add a Post-it Note pad and pen and give it as a gift!
You can watch my process on this video from my YouTube channel.
I hope you like this project. Thanks for stopping by!
