Another crafty project to use up left over paper scraps. 

Sticky Note Pad Holders for 3 x 3 inch sticky note pads. This one includes a slot to hold a mini pen and on the inside flap a tuck pocket for notes.

Many variations and tutorials available online.

'Bookish' Mini Wrap Traveler's Notebook

This laminated Traveler's Wrap Notebook is approximately 3.5"W x 5"H. It has 4 bands. This one has two notebooks 3.25" x 4.5" and two laminated 'dashboards'/folders, each with two pockets. 

I made a clear pocket on the inside cover. I used the trimmed cut-off from the laminated cover and cut it down to size and used double-sided tape to adhere it to the laminated cover.

Once again used an Echo Park Scrapbook Pad called ... what else?? but 'Bookish' ! Used 6" x 6" doubled sided papers to make the folders and some tags and bookmarks which I laminated. From the 12 x 12 pad I added some stickers. 

I used metal brads to connect the elastic on the bands as well as the notebook closure wrap. Eliminates bulky tied elastic knots.

Sticky Note Pad Holders

Crafted these little cuties using double sided papers, magnetic closures and added mini resin flowers on the front. Easy to make holders for 3 x 3 inch sticky note pads. 

Cut my paper 3"W x 9"L. 

Scored at 2 ½, 27/8,  57/8, 6¼. Rounded the corners of the front flap. Creased the score lines and adhered the sticky note pad using double sided tape. Glued the magnetic closure in and added a decorative resin flower. 

 

A simple crafty project to use up left over scrap papers. Lots of variations and tutorials online.Here's a link giving the dimensions for 3 different sizes of Sticky Notes and video tutorial.
