Notes For You And A "How To"!

Happy Friday!

My Team and I had our monthly meet up and once again, shared projects. Georgia came up with both of these ideas and we decided to get together to create a set. Today, I’m featuring the mini clip board. The recipe is below.

The mini clip board can hang on either your bulletin board or refrigerator. It’s within reach when you need it. I thought it would be a great little gift or stocking stuffer. Tuck it into a cellophane bag, tie it up with a pretty ribbon and add a custom tag. This project is quick and easy.

Check back tomorrow for the note book cover “how to”.

Supplies and where to get them:

Chip board. I purchased the chip board at Amazon. It’s medium weight and you can cut it with your paper trimmer.
Mini note pads. I purchased these at Dollar Tree. They come 5 to a pack.
1 1/4″ document clips.
Clear barrel pens.
Magnet strips
A lollipop stick or skewer.
Pattern Party Designer Series Paper (we used the buffalo check pattern).
Detailed Trio Punch

Here’s the “how to”:

Cut two pieces of chipboard 4 3/4″ x 6 1/2″.
Round the corners with the Detailed Trio Punch.
Glue them together with Multipurpose Glue.
The patterned paper is 4 5/8″ x 6 3/8″. Cut two and attach them to both the front and back of your chip board.
Cut a small patterned paper strip 1 1/2″ x 1 1/4″. This wraps around the binder clip.
As you’re wrapping the patterned paper strip over the binder clip, hold it in place, The Multipurpose Glue works great since drying time is minimal.
Remove the ink from the pen by twisting the pen top.
Cut a small patterned paper strip 1 1/4″ x 3 1/4″.
Tightly wrap this around a lollipop stick or skewer (something thin and round).
This helps you get the patterned paper into the pen barrel so you have a matching pen.
Attach a magnet strip to the back.

So, pop over to the dollar store, cut your favorite Designer Series Paper, add some pretty packaging and create a fun gift!

…the only limitation is your imagination!
