Back To School Week - Day 2 - How to make a Post It Note Holder with a sliding closure

Hello and welcome to Day 2 of Back to School Week - 7 days of projects and video tutorials hoping to inspire you to get ready for the new academic year in a creative way.  The projects are great if you are going back to school, know someone who is going back to school or if you just love pretty paper!

I think it is fair to say I am pretty obsessed with Post It Notes and you will find quite a scattering of them on my desk and inside my planners.  I like to have some with me where ever I go and when one of my team gave me a gorgeous post it note holder with a clever sliding mechanism to close it I knew I wanted to recreate it and share it with you - I am so pleased she said I could and I just hope you love it as much as I do.  Thank you Anne.

Here is the video showing you how to make it - it is much easier than it looks!This is what happens when you open up the holder.

Finding this Post It Note Holder in my handbag makes me smile each time and it is doing a wonderful job of keeping the post it notes safe and ready to use!
