{Materials} Big glass jar Clear tape Lots of different colored sticky notes Index cards Colorful pens/markers This gift was so much fun to make! It takes a while though, so I recommend starting it a good 3-5 days before the occasion! I also didn't take step by step photos because I did this back in April, but hopefully my instructions and the pictures provided will be understandable. Much love, Erynn Step 1: Gather all of your materials. Step 2: Grab an index card and begin writing down different ideas to put on your sticky notes. This is where you get creative!! Remember this should appeal to your friend or boyfriend so make sure the topics are personal and mushy gushy! ; ) I also included personal dates and a few holidays to help fill it up! Step 3: Once you've got your topics cut small pieces of the different colored sticky notes and tape them next to the topics. This will complete your key. A picture of my key is below. Step 4: Tape the index card on the front of the jar and secure all the sides. Step 5: Now it's time to write on the sticky notes!! You should also be creative with these. Try not be too elaborate because the sticky notes are small. Plus, you have to make 365 of them and I started running out of ideas once I got to maybe 100!!! Keep the faith though boo, you got this!! There's a tutorial of how I folded my stick notes in order for them to fit in the jar below. The arrow is pointing out which side is sticky! Step 6: Count all 365 sticky notes. You don't have to because it's pretty tedious, but I started keeping a tally of how many I made and that made it a lot easier.
Step 7: After you count them put them all in the jar! I suggest using a really big jar because a mason jar did not fit all of them. I got my glass jar from Walmart and it was very inexpensive and it fit all 365 notes perfectly. Step 8: Give it to your bff or your boo!! Mine is below!!
