    I bought a tub of 20 silver jumbo clips from home bargains for 99p (bargain!:D), just measured them and they are 3cm across:D

    I got those yesterday for the post-it note holders ;)

    Morning all - here is a picture of my post it key ring (as promised)

    I have also decided to make two friends a set of handmade cards and put them in a nice box for christmas - I have sooooooooo much card making stuff that its a way of using up stock whilst giving me pleasure at the same time. Here is a couple of my efforts.

    Sneaky eh!

    ninno - brilliant ! Love the cards and I'm tempted to do a key ring post it note holder.............:j

    Got a query about the post it note holders using clips...........do you have to undo the clip every time you tear off a post it note ? I was thinking of making some that would hang on the wall
    I would be unstoppable if only I could get started !

    Stardrops your post it note holders are amazing!
    Ninno your keyring post it note holder is so sweet!
    Threelittlepigs it's not a stupid question it's also crossed my mind, I've got loads of beer mats here but haven't attempted it yet...!
    :xmassmile Looking forward to December:xmassmile
  • Your all lucky - my local only has Oval shaped beer mats! me thinks when I go out on Thursday next week if there are any square ones a few will accidentally on purpose have to fall into my handbag!

    Was also wondering - I was thinking in Poundland they had bags fo craft bits 6 for £1 or something and I got magnets so im wondering if i made some of these I could stick magnets to the back of them and they could go on the fridge instead of hanging up. Think a fridge one is more practical and that way I'll do my sister one as well then.
    Time to find me again
