Mini Carpeta porta Post-It

Introduction

In this tutorial, we will create a mini folder for Post-It notes using simple materials. This project is perfect for organizing your notes and adds a personal touch to your workspace. You will learn how to assemble the folder step by step, using basic crafting tools and supplies.

Step 1: Gather Materials

Before starting the project, ensure you have all the necessary materials:

• 2 pieces of gray cardboard (3 x 6 inches)
• 1 piece of gray cardboard (1/2 x 6 inches)
• Elastic band
• Eyelets
• Crop-a-dile tool
• Laminated printed designs
• Matte adhesive for the cover
• Post-It notes of various sizes
• Double-sided tape or liquid glue

Step 2: Prepare the Cardboard

• Take the two 3 x 6 inch cardboard pieces. These will serve as the front and back covers of your folder.
• The 1/2 x 6 inch cardboard piece will act as the spine.

Step 3: Attach the Spine

• Align the spine piece with the edge of one of the larger cardboard pieces.
• Use the matte adhesive to glue the spine to one side of the cover. Make sure it’s centered and straight.
• Once the glue is dry, attach the second cardboard piece to the other side of the spine, creating a foldable folder.

Step 4: Add Eyelets

• Use the Crop-a-dile to punch holes through the spine and both covers. This will allow you to thread the elastic band.
• Position the eyelets in the holes and secure them by squeezing the Crop-a-dile.

Step 5: Insert Elastic

• Cut a length of elastic long enough to stretch around the folder and keep it closed.
• Thread the elastic through the eyelets, ensuring it is tight but not too constricted. This will hold your folder closed.

Step 6: Attach Laminated Printed Designs

• Choose printed designs that you want to decorate your folder with.
• Cut the laminated prints to fit the front and back covers.
• Use the matte adhesive to attach the prints securely to the cardboard.

Step 7: Organize Post-It Notes

• Place your various sizes of Post-It notes inside the folder.
• Use double-sided tape or liquid glue to secure pockets if you want to keep specific notes in place.

Conclusion

You have now completed your mini folder for Post-It notes! This project not only helps you organize your notes but also adds a creative flair to your workspace. Consider customizing it further with additional decorations or sections for different types of notes. Enjoy your new organizational tool!
