Instructions:
1. Cut a piece of green foam 4” x 10”. Cut a 2-1/2” hole using a drinking glass or can to trace and cut a hole 1” from the top and sides of the green foam strip. Glue the green foam strip onto the blue foam sheet.
2. Give It Shape: Using the scallop paper edgers, trim the blue foam all the way around leaving a ¼” border. Cut around the inside of the 2-1/2” hole.
3. Pad It: Using the scallop paper edgers cut a 3-1/2” x 5-1/2” piece of red foam. Glue it onto the green foam ½” from the bottom. Glue the notepad in the center of the red foam. Let dry.
4. Wrap It: Cut a 3” square of blue foam. Cut an 18” piece of satin cording. Tie a knot on one end of the lacing. Apply a small line of glue along edge of blue foam. Lay pencil and satin cording, centered along edge of blue foam, on top of glue. Gently begin rolling the blue foam around the pencil and cord, until completely wrapped. Glue outside edge of blue foam to seal. (Hint: wrap strips of masking tape around blue foam until dry).
5. Punch It: Punch a hole along the right side of the holder, just above the notepad. String the other end of the satin cording through the hole and knot on the back to secure.
6. Embellish: Punch five holes along the bottom edge of the note pad holder. Cut five 12” lengths of satin cording. Thread a piece of cord through first hole. Tie a knot in the cord on the back of the note pad holder to secure. String assorted pony beads on the end of cord. Knot to secure. Repeat step with remaining cord.
7. Last Touch: Using scallop paper edgers, cut a 1” square of red foam. Cut it in half, to form 2 triangles. Glue to the top corners of the note pad holder as shown.
