Hi-
I'm new to split coast stampers and I saw the great gift idea for post-it stands. Does anyone know where I can get them? It almost looks like an acrylic picture frame with post its attached to the front of the frame?
Please give input! THANKS!
Diane
There is a tutorial on how to make these if you go to "Resources" (at the top right of the page), then "Projects", and scroll down to "Acrylic Post-It Note Holder". (or you can click here.)
ps-Welcome to SCS, smiley diane!

I got my acrilic frames at Michaels and Big Lots, both places had them for $2 and under. They are so much fun to make and see the reactions of people to whom I give them to. I bet you could find them at Target and Walmart also. Good luck.

Wal Mart used to sell them for under a dollar. they are acrylic picture frames and are with the other photo frames. I have purchased them at Target also. The Target frames are of better qialuty but the WalMart frames are cheaper and do just fine.
I'm having trouble finding frames that are 5X7. I can find 4X6 easy at walmart, but the 5X7's are made the wrong way. The X7 is up and down, know what I'm talking about? I hope so. I did find the right kind at Hobby Lobby for $2.49 each, but I bought all they had (6) and they have never gotten in a new supply.
I too used the 4x6 and swithched the post it pad to a mini pad....this made a great fun camp item....My husband drilled a hole in the top left corner and I inserted my pen there. we attached some funky fiber and ribbon to the butt of the pen, and it too became a popular item.
I purchased the following from Wal-Mart:
plastic frames for 87 cents each,
R.S.V.P. (refillable) pens - $2.50 for a package of 5
Their brand of post-its - package of 4 for $1.97
rubber cement for $2.35
I've made 12 note holders using the rubber cement & so far none of the pads have fallen off. I tried just using the notes themselves but that didn't work for me. These really are lots of fun to make.

I loved the idea of drilling a hole in it for the pen to sit in!! THANKS!
Diane :-D
I love making these. For my craft show I made seasonal inserts, so they can change them with pens to match. We will see how well they sell next month.

jeanne, thanks for the link! Wow these are cute and the pens to match??!! How neat is that??!!!
Great another project to add to my *I really have to make one of those* list..L
Hi Sherri:
I have tried several glues but found that rubber cement works best for me. In fact you can add another note pad when the old one is used up - just pull the backing off. If you haven't made these, be prepared - they're addictive. I've made one for everyone I could think of. Good luck
P.S. a couple of things make me smile: my oldest daughter is named Sherri & I share a common ancestor with Harry S. Truman (way far back so we would be about 200th cousins)
