[@susanvanschuyver7900]

Very cute little notes.

[@karenmcnall]

Thank you Susan.

[@Scatterbrain47]

Hi Karen, I absolutely love this idea!!!!! I'm working on my first craft show and have been looking at U Tube for awhile now and have gotten so many ideas!!! I'm so excited to see this one. I do the 3x3 sticky note books, and they are adorable. Thank you so much for sharing!! I will definitely be making these.

[@karenmcnall]

thank you for watching Theresa

[@baileywhitton9423]

Fantastic Video! Would love to hear about the different craft fairs you do and what sells what time of year! Looking forward to this series!

[@karenmcnall]

Hi Bailey. My next craft fair is in March so I'll be posting a few more in the coming weeks. Most of my craft fairs are in the Fall and right before Christmas. Thanks for watching.

[@craftqueen417]

These are really cute, Karen. I would be tempted to cut the Velcro circles in half. They seem a bit heavy duty for designer paper.

[@karenmcnall]

If you want to re-use the holder, I would use the 5/8" circles and not cut them in half.

[@kellyrobertazzi2158]

You’re directions are just excellent. You are so efficient thank you. I’m learning so much

[@karenmcnall]

Thank you Kelly

Excellent project. Wonderful start to finish tutorial. Wishing you a super week. Hugs Susan

[@karenmcnall]

Thanks Susan. Best wishes to you as well.

[@jeannethomas6965]

Wow, so quick and easy. I really love the way you mass produce them. Thank you for a great idea.

[@karenmcnall]

your welcome Jeanne

[@lindaclare4260]

Wow! You are my craft fair heroine Karen! I am a new demonstrator, but just in it for the discounts!! I'm retired, and I loved watching this video. I am hoping one day to attend some craft fairs in my area. I've watched some other videos of yours and they're great as well. Thanks for all of your teaching and sharing on how these cute items are made.

[@karenmcnall]

Linda Clare thank you Linda. I appreciate your comments. Welcome as a SU Demonstrator!

[@BourbonCreekCrafts]

These are so cute! These would be a great way to use up scraps too! Thanks for sharing!

[@karenmcnall]

yes, great way to use up scraps. If you are looking to mass produce, I would recommend using a full 12x12 sheet of paper. It would go a lot faster. Enjoy!

[@lesleygilbert1945]

Just found you in the 'recommended' side bar - loved this video and subscribed :)

thank you lesley. Nice to know it was recommended.

Karen, these are so cute. I'm wondering how you display them at your craft shows. If you could send / post pics that would be awesome. Thanks for sharing this tutorial. It's awesome.

[@karenmcnall]

Hi Jennifer. If you go to my facebook page, I posted my booth setup from last weekend. I put the mini post-its in two different locations and display in a wooden tray and also a basket.

Thanks for showing mass production directions

[@karenmcnall]

your welcome Karen.

[@ncapitan1]

Hi Karen, great channel ! I'm happy I subscribed ;-) Just one question : What is the reason for having the heigths of the top and the bottom different ? (3/8 at the top and 1/2 at the bottom) Thank you

[@karenmcnall]

Nathalie Capitan no reason at all. Just the way I designed.

[@territ2892]

Do you really bring all that to a craft show wow that’s a lot where do you store it till November

[@karenmcnall]

Donna Berrios For the minis I bring about 200. I’m lucky to have storage in my home.

[@jenmo1970]

Love watching these videos and learning. I was wondering how you figure out what to price your items at? Do you sell these individually or in a pack of 3 or something? Thanks for sharing 🌸

[@karenmcnall]

I sell individually. $1 each or 6 for $5.

[@debraeaves6544]

man, I didn't realize how many sizes there are in mini post-it-notes. Plus the glue comes on either the long side or the short side. Could you tell me the measurements of your post it's you used, please?

[@karenmcnall]

1 3/8 x 1 7/8

[@creativecards4u]

Love it 😍

[@karenmcnall]

Thank you.

[@freidonnagarvin3430]

Wow this is interesting. I calculated your costs for what I could see. It cost you approximately 65 cents on material to make 1 of these and that's based on what I could see. Pennies add up.

[@karenmcnall]

I come up with approximately 54 cents. Hard to estimate paper and adhesive. I also think that if you have something in your booth that draws customers, they are more apt to purchase other products from you as well.

[@freidonnagarvin3430]

@@karenmcnall paper and adhesive to me are somewhat easy to calculate. Your paper based on stamping up lower priced dsp 12 sheets with shipping and tax, your 2x5 dsp paper is 12 cents each. 1 strip of 2 inch score tape is 1 cent based on buying very cheap score tape. I didn't calculate the circles.

[@myhoneyscrafts127]

Hi Karen, Thanks for this tutorial. I have made several already. I was wondering how you display the post-it notes. Do you put them in a plastic bin and let customers pick out the ones that want??? My craft fair is this Saturday.

[@karenmcnall]

Hi Debra. Yes, the mini post-it notes I put in a wicker basket or clear bin. I allow people to pick and chose what they want to purchase. I have photos on my business facebook page of my recent booth setup if you want to check it out.

[@jenniferteets1767]

Karen, loved the video. Can you please share where you purchased the post-it notes? Thank you. Looking forward to more of your videos.

[@karenmcnall]

officesupply.com or the cheapest local vendor

[@tammiebrower6919]

Karen McNall what size post it’s are you using? Sorry if I missed it.

[@ashleymarie7859]

Where did you get your cutter? I checked your website, but I didn't see it. Thank you. :)

[@karenmcnall]

Ashley Marie Roberts hi Ashley. I purchased my Stampin’ Up! Cutter a few years ago. SU is developing a new cutter and it should be out on the market soon. That is why one is not listed in the current catalog and online. Stay tuned.

[@abbylim4365]

Cute! How thick are your papers? Do you recommend a really thick cardstock, or will a lightweight cardstock do?

[@karenmcnall]

light weight paper should work fine. I use Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper

[@donnaboucher684]

hi when ordering sticky notes what size do I order I know you cut ur paper 2 " so the post not must be that size right? but all i see is 3x3 or 1/7/8 x2" would this be the size lol ty

[@karenmcnall]

1 7/8 x 2 works

[@lisasabatine849]

What were the measurement size for your sticky notes? And was it stock card that you used?

[@karenmcnall]

I use Designer Series Paper, not card stock. Here is the link to my blog post. www.inspiredbygram.com/2019/01/craft-fair-2019-series-episode-1.html

[@cofy4all91]

do I have to consider the weight of the paper? Some crafts will not turn out so nice if I use the wrong paper weight.. Do you understand?

[@karenmcnall]

Yes, I believe you should. I always use Stampin' Up! card stock. It works great and coordinates perfectly with the Designer Series Paper.

[@cofy4all91]

@@karenmcnall Thank you, I would use "Stampin Up", But, the truth is I just can not afford it. I'm a senior now & I'm the sole supporter. So there isn't enough money for things like scrapbook paper.. I have thin paper that I've had for years when paper crafting started in 2000.
