Nothing around your home will be safe again once you start. This item was once an ordinary Post-It™ memo-block. By creating a cover for it, it becomes an attractive vintage holder for your memo blocks. You can use scrap papers and decorative elements to make each holder a unique designer piece. By creating a few of them, you can also use them as small gifts.   Copyright: All patterns, pictures and text found on Craftideas.info are property of this website and may be only printed out and used for private or non-commercial purposes.

For this project you will need: - Small memo-pad - tan corrugated cardboard - small piece of pack paper - old vintage stamps or vintage papers with   travel motifs - tan colored feather - brown packing paper - white cardstock - tan colored jute ribbon - natural and tan colored mulberry paper - 2 bronze eyelets - hole puncher - craft glue - 2-sided strong self-adhesive sticky tape - motif puncher with heart or desired motif - ruler - stick glue - package twine - scissors   Instructions: 1. Measure your corrugated cardboard to a size that is twice the height of your memo-pad plus 1-2 cm allowance and the exact width of your memo-pad. Cut the cardboard out and fold in half matching the short sides. 2. Place a piece of 2-sided sticky tape to the backside of the memo-pad and stick it inside of the cut out cover. 3. Punch a hole at the bottom of both open edges of the cover and attach an eyelet. 4. Glue a small piece of packing paper onto the white cardstock. Cut out 2 same sized triangles and glue these then to the bottom right and left corners of the cover. See picture. 5. Tear a piece of mulberry paper and glue it to the center of the cover. 6. Cut out 2 vintage motifs and glue them to either corrugated cardboard or to a piece of tan cardstock (or leftover cardstock from step 4). Cut a border around the motifs. 7. Glue these motifs now onto the cover. Insert the feather under one of the motifs for an extra effect. 8. Punch out a shape and use 3-D pads to stick it onto the cover. 9. Insert the twine through the eyelets and tie together.
