Post It Origami Heart Bookmark

The SunDANCE girls really enjoy reading. Some of us read e-books while the rest like the good old fashioned paper books. Who would have thought that you could use an ordinary office supply, the Post It note, to make an origami heart shaped bookmark to mark the page where you stopped!

Hearts

It was fairly simple to follow along with the video and it turns out really cute!

Hearts 2

I made some for everyone in the office and it did not take too much time. I placed mine on my new 2015 Planner.

Smell The Roses! Post-it Style

POst-It-Roses

What a simple way to create something that will last for your desk! Now you can make beautiful lasting roses out of Post-It Notes! Follow these simple steps and share your roses with us! Spray your favorite scent on them to brighten your day!

What you need:

Scotch®Tape

Masking Tape

Post-it Notes

Green floral tape

Wire

Pencil

Cork

Scissors (and or utility knife)

Glue Gun

Roses1

Step 1: Print out this flower template (PDF), then cut out the flower and leaf patterns.

Roses2

Step 2: Trace the pattern onto your favorite color Post-it® Notes and cut them out. Trace 40 petals for the large rose, 35 petals for the medium, and 30 for the small. On the leaf-colored paper, trace 2-3 leaves per flower.
Pro tip: Position the paper so the V shape of the petal sits on the sticky part of the Post-it® Note. This will be helpful later!

Roses3

Step 3: Wrap the petals around a pencil (or roll them with your fingers) so they all curl cylindrically

Roses4

Step 4: Take a 6-10 inch wire, and wrap a petal around it (V side down), tight enough so that the wire doesn’t show. Secure the petal with hot glue.

Roses5-6

Step 5: Take another petal and wrap it a little looser than the first one around the stem (again, V side down). Secure with hot glue. Keep adding petals!
Pro tip: Move downward and distribute evenly around the rose when adding petals.

Roses6

Step 6: Once your blossom is set, glue or tape the leaf cutouts onto the blossom stem. You can give them a natural curl by wrapping them around a pencil.

Roses7

Step 7: Finish up by wrapping the wire with Scotch® Masking Tape first then covering it with green floral tape. Wrap carefully around the leaves!
