  Step 1

  ❤ First of all, you take your sticky notes pad and measure it around. Mine was 7,7 x 7,7 x 0,9 cm.

• 

  Step 2

  ❤ On a piece of paper you can make a ruff sketch of how your final piece would be so that you'll know exactly the final size of it. Your measurements (7,7 x 7,7 cm) would be the center piece, the back of your sticky notes, and then add the 0,9 cm on top and on bottom, plus one more mm (so that you can fold it) that's 1 cm on each side. Next, add another rectangle on the bottom, let's say 7,7 x 6 cm (that would be the top cover) and another smaller rectangle on the top 7,7 x 4 cm.

  ❤ Open a design program and make the same sketch that you did on paper being careful to use the exact same measurements. Now you can add whatever you want, design a pattern, put clip arts, add a clever note... use your imagination. Just keep in mind that whatever you put on the upper side must be reversed (upside -down) so that when you fold it you can see everything straight. When you are done and satisfied with the result print it on the card stock paper that you desire.

  Step 3

  ❤ Make the same measurements directly on you paper and with a ruler and a cutter or if you're really good with scissors cut it around. Then, with a bone folder, fold the dashed lines.

  For better folding use your ruler as a guide and with the edge of your bone folder, mark the dashed lines.

  Step 4

  ❤ Now you can cut the edges with an edge puncher

• 

  Step 5

  or use a decorative scissors to make the edges a little bit more interesting.

• 

  Step 6

  ❤ Take your sticky notes and you can either put them in right away (if they are sticky enough to stay in place)

• 

  Step 7

  or for being more secure, add a piece of double sided tape or just a bit of glue.

• 

  Step 8

  ❤ Pill off the back of the bottom piece (or the top, it doesn't matter) of the Velcro fasteners, stick it to the desired place and then take off the other one and just put the card stock cover on it. That way you can be sure that you have sticked everything right in place.

  Step 9

  ❤ Finally, you can use whatever material you want to decorate your cover. You can stamp it, add stickers, ribbons, gift tags, glitter or whatever you can think of. It depends on the occasion. This would make a perfect gift for little kids, co-workers, Valentine's day, Christmas or just for fun. And the good part is that you can re-use it if you want to. You'll just have to stick another sticky note pad inside!
  You can customize it however you want.
