Along with blooming flowers and sunny afternoons, spring brings up new entries on one's to-do list. Keep your spring-cleaning attitude fresh by creating one of these happy-reminder holders. Supplies are found at most craft stores.

SUPPLIES:
* Faux flowers
* Color copies of photos
* White craft glue
* Square tiles (4 by 4 inches)
* Thin fabric trim
* Hot glue gun
* E6000 industrial-strength craft glue
* Small acrylic standing frame (2 by 3 inches)
* Needle-nose pliers
* Colored wire (24 gauge)
DIRECTIONS: Adhere flower petals and photo to the tile in desired fashion. Add trim and other accessories around the flower. Cut petal from the flowers and use hot glue gun to attach to the back of the tile, creating a border. Use E6000 glue to adhere the tile to the front of the acrylic frame and let dry.
With needle-nose pliers, create a spiral with the wire and hot-glue it to the upper back of the tile. This will act as the note holder.
VARIATIONS: Replace the acrylic standing frame with a saw-toothed picture hanger or tile holder if you'd rather display your tile in other ways.
