Valentines Post It Note Holders

Valentine's Day is approaching and I wanted to make something for the ladies I work with in my office. I thought about making valentines but since I already made a batch of those I decided to do something a little different. First I went to the Dollar Store and bought these acrylic frames. They were $1 each. There are several different sizes that are all the same price and I chose the 3 1/2 by 5 size.
I used leftover scraps of Valentine's paper for this project. I took the insert out of the frame and cut my papers to fit. I then printed each ladies' name on a strip of cardstock. I then stamped a Valentine's stamp onto a piece of cardstock and layered it onto a larger piece of patterned paper. This slips into the frame.

I then adhered a stip of double sided tape to the back of a Post-It note and adhered it to the front of the plastic frame.


And here is the finished project. A cute, personalized and useful gift!
