Clever Crafting Hack

• To create your own custom "sticky notes" for your South African school planner, apply a thin layer of Bostik Glue Stick to the back of a small piece of paper and let it air-dry for about sixty seconds until it feels tacky rather than wet.
• This creates a temporary adhesive bond that allows you to move the note around multiple times without leaving a permanent residue on your pages.
