handmade gifts: post-it note holder

hey all!! Checkin in here with a super simple, quick and easy handmade gift- perfect for birthdays or Christmas! Before we know it, Christmas will be upon us... but not before one of my favorite holidays- Thanksgiving :)

Anyhoo, here's a little tutorial for this easy gift!

Since you can buy a single set of supplies and make a lot of holders out of them, I'd say rough cost per holder is probably around $5!!! :) You can make it super cute and girly or simple and masculine! Not to mention it's practical! Love practical (but fun!) gifts ;)

.:. one 12"x12" piece of patterned paper can make ~4 holders

.:. one roll of ribbon can make at the least 2-3 holders, many many more if it's a longer roll of ribbon!

.:. buy one bag of pretty pens and you can make a whole bunch of holders

.:. buy a stack of the post-it notes and make a whole bunch of holders!
