Hi friends here is a
Handmade Notepad Holder gift idea for coffee and chocolate lovers! It is a cute project which is sturdy enough to hold a fairly thick notepad with space for a pen and closes securely with a magnetic closure!

There is also a dainty fun shaker in the dome of the cup!
These are easy to make and I think they would be a hit if you want to sell them at craft fairs and exhibitions too!

Materials
- Card stock
- Pattern Paper and Stamps- optional to decorate your cup!
- Scoring Board- optional- otherwise use a blunt pen and scale
- Cup shape- hand cut or use a die- I used the Crealies dies to cut cup shapes from thick card-stock. If you dont have a diecutting machine don't despair the cup shape is fairly simple to handcut too.
- Small magnets- 2 - greatly adds to the fun element so do try to use it!
- Good adhesive - I used UHU ;Scissors
- Shaker elements- optional if you are adding a shaker dome or making a shaker cup

Cut 2 cup shapes from card stock. Score and fold a 2 and 3/4 inch x 1 and 1/2 inch card piece at 1/2 inch and 1 inch . Stick this card stock to the upper edges of the cups to connect them. This gives you a notepad holder which is 1/2 inch thick.

On the inside of the flap which will be the top flap stick a small magnet a little away from the edge as shown and cover with pattern paper. You can also hold the magnet in place with a stamped cup or other design as I did in this post :

I created coffee themed patterns using a variety of coffee themed stamps from Crealies.
I recycled an old notebook to create the notepad for this Coffee Cup!
