Tutorial: Post-it note holder

This oilcloth post-it note holder is the perfect last-minute Valentine’s gift for your kids’ teachers! Orange Bettie (that’s me!) shares the tutorial over at Bombshell Bling. The oilcloth doesn’t have to be hemmed so it takes just a few easy seams to make one. Plastic canvas in the back gives it structure, and the closure is just a simple strip of fold over elastic. Sew some up for friends and teachers!
