I am 100% behind the bee trend that is happening. Bees are so important to our planet, gardens, food, sustainability and their work ethic is amazing. I have a stained glass bee hanging on my studio window that I bought in Salt Lake City (Utah is the Bee Hive state) when I was there for a Stampin’ Up! event a few years back. I loved seeing bee images on the man hole covers in the streets. So, it’s no wonder that one of my favorite stamp sets in the Jan – June Mini catalog is Honey Bee, with coordinating dies and Sale-a-Bration Designer Series Paper (free until March 31). Keeping this all in mind, I am going to show you easy to make Post It holders using bees as my inspiration.
Easy to Make Post It Holders
I created this video to show you how to make your own Post It holders. You can use any papers you want, but I did include a supply list with measurements for you after the video link.
I forgot to mention in the video to adhere your decoration to the smaller scored section (keep that one on top). Also, I used Thick White card stock instead of the regular weight to give the beehive some strength.
