Teacher Appreciation Post-It Gift

For once in my life, I was prepared in advance for Teacher Appreciation week!  I made this little post-it-note pouch for my son's teacher back in March. I should have given it to her in March because Coronavirus came to visit mid-March and we've been social-distancing ever since.  Schools closed and this little pouch is still sitting on my shelf.  Teacher Appreciate week was last week, but I still need to get his teacher's address so I can send it to her!

I make post-it note pouches all the time.  As a piano teacher, I always have post-it notes by my side and I like to have them cutely packaged.  Note: These notes are not actual Post-it Note brand and my measurements won't fit the post-it brand correctly.  These measurements are made to fit the less expensive Highland Note brand.  You can make a bunch without spending a fortune.  It's the love that counts! :)  Here are the measurements:

1. Start with a piece of Poppy Parade cardstock and cut at 3-1/4" x 8-1/2"
2. With 8-1/2" side at the top, score at 3-1/8", 3-9/16", 6 5/8", 7-1/16"
3. Use a corner rounder punch to round your top and bottom corners.
4. Fold on your score lines and attach your post-its to the center with glue or other adhesive.
5. Add magnetic strips.  I cut them from magnetic vent covers purchased at Lowes.  I used tear tape to attach them.
6. Now you just need to decorate the front!  I used the Bold Brights DSP (retired now) for the apple and the green strip across the front.  See the remaining supplies used at the end of this post.

Here is a cute card to go along with the pouch:
