This is day 1 of 7 days of back to school projects that I'll be posting every day for the last week of August. I thought the first project might be to get organized!
This is a fast easy project to create a place for
tools, pens, some small scrap paper, post it notes –
to declutter your
desk! Size is hard to see so I put the
small water bottle next to it. It stands
6” high and is 6 ½ wide.
Lemon
Lime Twist is 6 ½ x 11, score it at 6, 6 3/4, 7 1/2 , and 10 ½
Burnish
the folds and notice the mountain fold (like an M) for the bottom.
After
folding, add a strip of tear n tape on the last 1/2” and secure to the back of
the “easel”. I found it stood up
easily. Add a piece of designer paper 6
x 5 ½ to the front. I used a piece from the Naturally Eclectic collection.
Make
2 boxes to go on the front. The first is
8 x 2 (for the post it note holder), score at 3 ¼, 3 3/4, 7, 7 ½. And score ½ on the bottom Trim the tabs with small notches (mitres)
to get rid of the bulk. Add a piece of
designer paper to the front, mine is 1 ¾ x 3.
The
second box (for the pens/tools) is 6 ½ x 3, score at 2 ½, 3, 5 ½, 6, and score
½ from the bottom. Make
into a box and add a designer paper 2 ½ x 2 ½
Adhere
boxes to the front of the organizer – let it dry before using.
Add
in a Post it note pad, pens, tools, gold binder clips – enjoy!!
I hope you make one! If
you would like the complete set of 7 back to school projects in a PDF, just
place an order in either August or September with the host code (see this site, top right hand corner) and I’ll email you the full set of
projects.
Happy crafting and I hope your back to school week is going well- MaryKate
