2. Note Holder
Instructions:
  1. Lay down some plastic sheeting so that the glue does not stick to the surface.
  2. Backing - Using plain or coloured pop sticks, place 11 pop sticks horizontally close together as staight as you can without gluing them. They will be held together by the sides which is in the next step.
  3. Sides - Glue 8 popsticks one on top of the other to form a stack, keeping them as straight as possible. Repeat the process so that you have 2 stacks, one for each side.
  4. Glue each stack onto the pop stick backing, approx. 1/2cm in from the outer edge. This will give you a pretty edge with the curves of the backing pop sticks showing as a border. Repeat for the other side and let dry. When dry, the sides hold the pop stick backing in place.
  5. Top - Measure half way down the side pop sticks and glue 6 pop sticks horizontally, close together to make the top pouch of the holder.
  6. Bottom - Glue a couple of pop sticks on the bottom to make the base.
  7. Hanger - Glue 2 pop sticks to make an upside down V shape and glue onto the back to make a hanger.
  8. Embellish with Foam Heart or Foam Flowers and Kindy Glitz.
  9. Tie some cord or a bow of ribbon onto the hanger.

    Note: You can use a mixture of thin satin ribbons or metallic thread in combination with the plastic string as shown in the pictures.
  3. Thread the plastic strips through the top to create a hanger. You may wish to twist or knot two colours together or thread on beads to make the hanger more decorative.
