6x6 Paper Projects

For Easter projects I wanted to use more of the 6x6 card stock pads in the stash. For the first treat holder I used a piece of 6x6 card stock and made a sour cream treat holder. There are lots of videos and patterns on YouTube showing how to assemble a sour cream treat holder. If you do not have a crimping tool for the top and bottom of the treat holder you can always use your scoreboard and tool to mimic the lines the crimper makes. 

This next treat holder is for 2x2 Post It Note holders. From one piece of 6x6 card stock you can get three Post It Note holders. Here is a photo of a couple of the holders I made:

For this pattern I had seen this shown on a video by Sandra Ronald on YouTube long ago and since then this is the pattern I use for the 2x2 Post It Note holders. Here is a photo of these holders open to show this pattern gives you enough card stock to make a flap for the front pieces to make them stronger with the Velcro dot closure:

For my 6x6 card stock I used double sided card stock so it has a design on the back side which you can see when you open this holder. Once my holders were cut and scored, I used liquid glue for the two end flaps folded to the inside of the holder where you put the Velcro dot closure. The flaps make the holder sturdy for use.  Here is her pattern:

Cut card stock 2" x 6"

Score this at:

3/4,  1 3/4,  2 1/8,  3 5/8,  4,  5 1/4

Once scored use a bone folder to crease all the lines. Glue the two end flaps to the inside of the holder. Put tear and tape on the back of the 2x2 Post It Note pad at the top where the sheets have their adhesive. I used a corner rounder punch to punch the corners on both end flaps. Remove the paper from the tear and tape and put the paper pad on the holder. Fold on all score lines. Mark the center of the inside front flap with a pencil and put your mini Velcro dot over that. Close the holder with the Velcro dots (top and bottom Velcro dots are already together in the package) in place to have the front and back Velcro pieces line up. With the holder closed I used a large glue dot to add the circle gem on the holder front and I bought those long ago from the Dollar Tree. I used these because they are flat:

For my Post It Notes I used their brand so I knew they would fit my holders. Another great use for the 6x6 paper pads in the stash and very easy to put together. You can save time if you are doing multiples by using a full sheet of the 6x6 paper and score this sheet as one. Once all the scored lines are made then cut it into the 2" strips for your 2" x 6" piece and you will have 3 scored pieces for 3 holders all at once. Very easy holder to put together and something that can get tossed in a purse for notes along the way.....
