Vintage DIY Sticky Notes on a Mixed Media Holder

I am always hunting for sticky notes on my desk, they seem to vanish on me or it could be that my kids steal them, lol.  I also seem to be hunting for pens on my desk, maybe I have too much stuff on my desk, haha!!  With this in mind I made a sticky note holder for my desk, with a pen attached so I will have both when I need them!!  When I was thinking this through I thought to just buy some new sticky notes and glue them to the front, but then I went to go get some nice looking ones they were so expensive!!  Then I thought I have tons of paper I am sure I can figure out a way to make them myself, so I did!!

 
For full details please view my video tutorial about how to make homemade sticky notes and how to make this project!!


I started with a few sheet of random vintage cardstock sheets from 7 Gypsies and the Deflecto 4"x6" Acrylic frame as the base, so it would stand up nicely on my desk.  It is super light weight and can work with any number of projects or pictures you want!!




I ran the cut up sheets of vintage themed cardstock through the Xyron Creative Station using the Repositionable refill to make them sticky, but allow them to be stick notes and be able to stick and un-stick at will.  I then added each of the cut sticky squares on top of each other to make a sticky pad and attached them to the front of the mini frame.


A sticky note holder can be plain, or dressed up - guess which one I picked :)  I add flowers, chipboard, mists, beads, and other fun mixed media items to the top of the frame to glam it up a bit.


I just love chipboard swirls!!



The profile of this sticky note holder is very small, so it fits wonderfully on my desk!


On the side of the holder I attached a section of laminated paper in a loop to allow a pen to slide through so I am never without a pen!




I used the amazing Xyron products to hold everything together.  Not only as the adhesive, but also to make our homemade sticky notes!!  You never have to buy them again, just use the Repositionable Adhesive and scraps of paper and you have you custom sticky notes!!  See video above for a full tutorial!! 
 

This cute little sticky note holder is perfect for your work desk, home desk, as a gift, or to keep for yourself!!  Don't let your scraps go to waste, have fun with them!!


What color would you make your sticky notes?
