Journal Tin and Post It Note Holder

I desgined a new Journal Tin using a DVD tin and transformed it into something that holds a notebook, paper clip, a decorated pen and a small pocket on the left hand side. Here are a few pictures of what it looks like.

This is what the outside looks like when it is closed up.

 

This is what it looks like when it is open. As you can see on the left hand side there is a pocket and on the right hand side there is the paper clip, notepad and the pen.

 

Close up on the paper clip and the pen. Notice that I decorated the inside of the pen too.

These are great Christmas gifts, just because and a teacher's gift.

 

 

 

Now, here is the post it note holder

I used a piece of chip board for the platform and used scrapbook paper to cover the front and back. Than I used a binder clip and deocrated that to hold the post it note paper to the chip board. It's very easy to switch out the post it note pad when you run out of paper.

 

Happy Crafting

Hard Covered Journal Tin

It seems lately I have been coming across a bunch of ideas that I must try! Sometimes when I take on a challenge it could be a flop at first, but that other times it comes out a success. With this project, I think it's going to be a success! I'm also in the process of putting together a store on etsy website to sell some of my creations.

Without further do, here we go. I ordered tin DVD movie cases from Amazon that you can remove the blue plastic piece in the middle so it becomes an empty tin. Then the decoration process started. I started with the outside decorating the front and back with the same type of paper except the back doesn't have the ribbon on that. Lets take a look...

 

Then, I switched to the inside and on the left hand side I covered the side with a coordinating paper and also at the bottom made a small pocket to keep things in.

 

 

Then I took a pen and decorated the inside of it to match the coordinating paper I had been using.

 

I am not completely done yet, because I'm still waiting for more product to arrive, but to give you the jest of what it will be, is a notebook on the right hand side with the pen and a larger paper clip decorated. I will keep you updated on the final outcome.

Questions for you.....

1. What type of papers would you like to see being used?

2. How much should I charge for one of these?

3. Any other questions you might have ask away....
