Coaster Post It

I've seen these Coaster Post It's floating around the stamping blogs. They are SO fun and SO easy to make. You use the 4" x 4" coasters. If you don't have them you can cut cereal boxes to size and glue two of them together for stability. You may want to snip the corners before you glue them together it will make it easier to snip.

For this one I used the new Stampin' Up! decorative paper Bali Breeze. I cut the paper just a hair longer than 4" x 4" and glued it in place with the Anywhere Glue Stick. I trimmed the edges that needed it and I clipped the corners to fit the coaster.

I took the clip that I purchased at Office Depot and I added some of the same paper to it and adhered it using the glue stick.

The words were done using a self-inking stamp I got from Vista Print. I punched out using the small oval punch and the layer behind it I used a piece of paper from the post it pad and used the larger oval punch. I taped the pieces together and taped it onto the coaster. I taped it VERY close to the bottom so the pad wouldn't cover it up.

I clipped the pad in place and slid an ink pen under it. I tied on three ribbons and that as it. SO quick and SO simple. I like the way it's assembled. You just clip on a new pad. Isn't that a great way to do it? Then you can just add a new one without anything left behind on the coaster from the last pad. Such a wonderful idea there!!


These would make a great hostess gift, customer appreciation gift, make n takes and even craft fair items.

Thank you SO much for stopping by,
Wanda

    I just finished doing some of these, but find your method much faster. Also like the idea of using more than one ribbon and adding the pen. Thanks again!

    It looks lovely - BUT...

    When you clip the post-it-notes in place and you want to tear of a piece of paper, would you have to open the clip then always? That woud be quite unhandy... Or did I get something completely wrong?

    Thanks for explaning *lol*

    Do I get it right and you just clip the post-it-notes in place? So you would have to open the clip always when you want to tear of a piece of paper? Isn't that quite inconvenient?

    Thanks for replying, perhaps I just got everything wrong... *lol*

  9. I knew I was saving my blank coasters for something! I love this idea. And I like that you put a bit of color on the clip. That really finishes it off. Cute as always!
