Hello, everyone,
Recently I had the pleasure of making about 75 small appreciation gifts. I wanted something cute but also usable, both for women and men. I ordered the small pencils, Velcro dots, little post it notes in subdued colors and white duct tape from Amazon. I will include a link to the YouTube videos for creating the covers as well as the video of how to make simple, custom sized, stylish pencil or pen holders. This is a fabulous way to use your cardstock and pattern paper scraps. By changing the pattern paper, you can make these gifts for children, too.

Little pencils: Short pencils
Duct tape (lots of colors, patterns): White glossy duct tape
Earthtone color post it notes: Soft, earthy color post it notes
Mini, clear Velcro dots: Easy Velcro dots
I used Altenew Tape Runner as well as Aileen's Tacky Liquid Glue for putting these cute post it note gifts together. I also used a variety of sticky back gems, gold shimmer border stickers and flowers to decorate the fronts. Both the insides and outside are decorated with pattern paper on top of the cardstock. You can use a corner rounder or other decorative punch on your corners to add interest. The pencils come with a small presharpened tip and carefully packaged in boxes inside ziplock bags.
