• Three empty Girl Scout cookie boxes (Samoas, Tagalongs, Trefoils, Do-si-dos and Lemon Chalet Cremes work best). • 4 pads of paper (3 1/2” square) or 2 regular (3” square) Post-It Notes pads, split in 2 to create a total of 4 pads. NOTE: If you are using Samoas boxes, you will need to use 3” square pads. • Colorful electrical tape or Scotch® Decorate and Repair tape • Velcro reclosable fasteners (adhesive backed) • Notepad graphics and sales strategies • Scissors • Sharpie or marker • Ruler • Glue
Step 1 - Create the storage box 1. Cut out the Girl Scout Logo with the “Courage Confidence Character” phrase from the front of the box. Leave a small border around the logo (the finished piece should measure about 1” x 3”) 2. Use a Sharpie or a marker to mark “cut lines”. Then cut the box per Diagram 2B.

Fold the front flap down at the black line in Diagram 4D (5 1/2” up from bottom of back side of box, fold excess box down to form lid - but do not tape down yet) 5. Cut a 1” wide x 1/8” H slot at the fold of the lid. (see Diagram 5E)

Step 2 - Create the paper pads 1. Cut out the front and the back panels from the two cookie boxes (Samoas, Tagalongs, Do-si-dos, Trefoils or Lemon work best. We do not recommend using Thin Mint or Thank U Berry Munch boxes for this craft). Save the rest of the box to make additional cookie box crafts. (One box will make 2 notepads, 1 mini notepad and 1 bookmark!). 2. From the bottom of your cut-out, measure 6 1/2” up and 3 1/4” from the left for a 3“ Post-it pad, OR 7 1/2” up and 3 3/4“ from the left for a 3 1/2” notepad. Draw lines for each, and cut at these lines. NOTE: This assumes you are using a 1/4“ H pad of paper. If you use a full Post-it note pad, you will need to add 1/4” to the height measurement. 3. Gently fold your cut-out in half, forming a 1/4” spine at the top center section. (If using a full Post-it pad, your spine will need to be 1/2”) The side that shows the cookie pictures and name is the top cover of the notepad. 4. Select your notepad graphic, and cut it to the size of your pad of paper. 5. Glue your notepad graphic to the inside front cover of the notepad (the side opposite the cookie pictures). Glue it on so that you can read the graphic when it is flipped open. 6. Use the colorful tape to create a border around the entire cover (center the middle of the tape on the edge of the cover, and fold it so that half the tape is on the inside and half the tape is on the outside.) Also run a piece across the lower edge of the graphic. 7. Glue the back of the pad of paper inside your notepad cover. (Glue it to the lower half, which is the inside of your back cover) 8. Repeat until you have made 4 notepads. Place the 4 notepads inside your box.
Enjoy using this handy set of notepads. Remember to make extras as customer appreciation gifts or to give as a gift to a special person.
