Today, on this first day of Spring, I wanted to share a fun and simple Spring craft that you could easily make in under 10 minutes. The best part? If you’ve got a little one that enjoys crafting with you, he or she would love to work on this project too.
I’m such a sucker for jotting down lists or reminders on Post-Its. I thought it would be nice to have a cute holder in my kitchen desk area to brighten it up a bit, and make things look a little more “Spring-y.”
To make a Post-It Holder, you’ll need:
plastic 5 x 7 frames {the kind that have the little stand on the bottom}
Post-It pads in a variety of colors
pretty scrapbook papers
hot glue gun/glue sticks
Spring inspired felt stickers {found mine at Hobby Lobby and of course used coupons}
mini clothespins
paper cutter
To get started, use your paper cutter to measure and cut 5 x 7 pieces of your desired scrapbook papers. I chose two patterns that screamed “Spring” to me.
After inserting the papers into each frame, I chose a Post-It pad that I felt went well with each paper, hot glued the entire back side of it to the holder, and added a few cute felt stickers.
I added a mini clothespin to the second one I made, just to have another spot to hold a reminder or two if needed!
The best part?! You could totally change these up for each season or holiday AND they’d make such a cute gift for a neighbor or teacher.
Enjoy your day!
I’ll be linking up at these parties.
Such a great idea! Thank you for sharing and inspiring!
They are very “spring-y” love them!

Thanks! So glad you liked the project 🙂
So so cute. I am in love with post it notes. I even have a whole drawer dedicated to organizing them – LOL!
Visiting from the 36th Avenue link party. 🙂
Me too girl! Thanks for stopping by! Happy Easter 🙂
What a cool idea! I have post it’s all over my desk at work and this is a creative way to organize them. Thank you for the great inspiration I can’t wait to get started!

So glad you liked the idea! Happy Friday!!
Wonderful tutorial! I loved the outcome! Very beautiful!
Great post!! I included it in my post Βόλτα στη Γειτονιά #26 🙂
Have a great week!!
Loved this and made it for a Ladies’ Gift Exchange. Unfortunately, NONE of the post-it pads stuck. After a few days, they ALL fell off. Ideas for why it works for everyone else in Pinterst land, but not me?
That stinks! I used hot glue all over the back of the post it pad and it worked just fine. What did you use?
These are adorable. I also love your color matching butterflies. Such great ideas for kids to learn in a fun way!
Thanks for stopping by! So happy you took a look around 🙂
