New and Improved Post it Note Cover

I found some miniature pens on clearance after Christmas and I couldn't pass them up.  I wanted to incorporate the pen into my Post-it-Note Cover shown in this post and this post. 

I have seen videos and pictures of a similar cover, however, I wanted to incorporate the Velcro closure.  Adding a Velcro closure and a closing flap makes this perfect for carrying in the purse.  The flap and Velcro closure keep your Post-it-Notes from being mangled in the purse.

The picture tutorial with instructions and a diagram are available for the modest price of $2.79. Once your payment is processed, I will email you the three-page tutorial within twenty-four hours.
