Today I made another note holder. You can click here to see more details on a different one I made. I had gotten these fun note paper holders at Target in their Dollar Spot. I LOVE doing altered notebooks and note holders.
To make these I take the whole thing apart. I open them up, take off the tray and I usually use the paper that is included inside. It's not the best paper but it's good enough for the little notes I write all the time. I replace them with white copier paper notes that I cut to fit the holder.

For this holder I had taken white 30# copier paper and covered the outside of the holder. The tray part that the paper goes in was already white so I didn't need to do anything with that. I glued the paper to the holder and wrapped the edges over and glued them on the inside.
On the front I used the Circle Circus set. I had gotten this set because it looked like it would be a lot of fun but I have not used it much. SO I thought I would play with it for the front of this note holder. I got some fun bright colors out and just randomly stamped them on my card stock.
Next I cut a piece of Pacific Point to fit the front cover. From there I cut a piece of the Circle Circus stamped piece to fit on top of the Pacific Point. I taped both of the layers together and then I taped them in place on top of the holder.
I stamped a red image from the set and cut it out by hand. I punched the scallop circle and taped the red piece on top. I also punched out a little yellow flower shaped piece for the center. I taped that in place and then cut the belly band. I cut the strip 11" x 1" and wrapped it around the holder and glued it in place. I centered the scalloped piece over the seams of the band.

The part that I thought was a lot of fun was how I glued the tray back in place on the cover and slid the band on the note holder. I set a heavy object on the holder and left it to dry. When I came back everything was all set! I LOVE it when I don't have to wait around for stuff to dry!!!
I find these very fun to make and love it when I can find fun ways to decorate them. I'll be adding this to the box of stuff I'm going to be selling at the fall craft fair!
