Getting Creative with Post-it notes
We all know them. The small yellow pieces of stationary, with the re-adherable strip of adhesive on the back. For some they’re called lifesavers, for others they are just Post-its. Oftenly used to attach notes on boring stuff like computer displays and documents, here’s 17 creative uses of everyone’s friend, the Post-it:
The complete Post-It Portrait of Chris. It took 3 people about 4.5 hours and 1120 Post-It Notes to complete this.
What we did to Walt’s Jaguar on Friday.
This design was made entirely out of post-its. To increase the resolution of the drawing, I ended up cutting the post-its in 16 pieces. Putting everything up on the wall took about 11 hours.
two of my co-workers designed and built this mosaic of the king out of post it notes over the memorial day weekend.
It took 3 days, so we had to post this at night to keep the cleaning crew from undoing our work
A picture of Sonic I made out of Post-It notes on my window at work. This is six stories up and apparently quite visible from the outside.
Spaceinvaders.
Link.
Russel’s room. Amazing!
Post-it lamp
Five Marios
Over 1000 post it notes covering a 2002 blue saturn.
Take the post-it mosaic idea one step further. With a few sharpies.

this is quite cool, i love the cars especially. and all the colourfull stuff, its kinda cool
I love this. Not sure why, but I do. I am not so keen on the cars however, but the rest just looks fun! I would love to do it to my room and add to it when I am bored. Haha.
Gotta love it! Nice stumble.
The pixel art is cool.
Wow - those are pretty amazing. I have never seen anything done like this with post-its.
Makes me want to go out and buy some - oops - the wife just said “No.” …
Oh well, guess I will have to come up with some other solution - lol…
Great work though - very time consuming I see, but the rewards are great…
All but that last one were pretty cool
Very neat. Creative.
What a waste. All that time wasting paper could have been spent playing madden.
Neat idea! You should look up the 8-bit tie to wear whilst at work!
Pretty Cool … I hope you recycle all of it!!
Hey, no body argued or mentioned GOD. (or I fortunately missed it)
Wazza matter you folks, you ferget dis be der Internet?
Good show . . . actually.
this not art…this is waste of paper and time…kids in many countries and also cotinenets willing for paper…dont waste all those papers make or find a way to send them to requested places even if it is sticky on one side like post-it…
Nice! I love the cars especially XD
Walt’s Jaguar is the best.
and lol at ERDEM thinking that we should send post-its to developing countries.
I love your ideas.
Postits saved my life! I was depressed over my husband running away with a woman he met in WOW. A friend who used the Postit cure from MySpace told me to make a doodle on a Postit everyday and hang it on a wall. Soon I had a full wall and realized I was going to make it thru the divorce. I did and now I have my X’s money and the homewrecker has him. Win - Win
Love it! Must have taken ages to do those…
(Also, the apostrophe in “Mario’s” isn’t necessary!)
crazy! i like the sonic. you should do a grafitti style one

Nice concept. Hope to see more.
3M .. eat your heart out.
Wow keep it up!
creative artwork!! i never think that those post-it note will make a great artwork. =)
Great fun but that sure does seem like a lot of paper waste. Am I alone in this thought?
you achieved being creative; but artwise, it isn’t that all impressive. And why so much time to post stuff? There are better things to do.
I’ll do a smiley face on my desktop
kms - “And why so much time to post stuff? There are better things to do”
Im not so sure about that kms.. This is creative, its interesting, its quirky, it makes us smile. Arent those things what life is all about? Love to know what you get up to that is so mkuch more worthwhile
hallo ich bin ein untalentierter deutscher gebrauchtmöbelhändler auf der suche nach echter freundschaft. falls Ihr intresse habt mit mir zu plaudern oder vielleicht sogar zu knutschen, dann strengt euch an und findet mich in ottbergen (höxter).

“this not art…this is waste of paper and time…kids in many countries and also cotinenets willing for paper…dont waste all those papers make or find a way to send them to requested places even if it is sticky on one side like post-it…”
Seriously? Madden? That is better than having some of that RL fun? alright…
I didn’t know there were that many starving artist that wanted paper over food…
These are great post-it note murals by the way, the pixel art of the duck is great.
Love the work mate, must have taken a lot of time and effort.
i wonder what are you gonna do next with the car full of sticky papers, since you cant drive it in that condition, preserve it or drive again?
wow…that’s a lot of paper wasted
very nice!

I Googled for something completely different, but found your page…and have to say thanks. nice read….
WHY!?!?!?
a good idea though, sticky notes make the most random ideas
Those were fantastic! I’m almost tempted to go and make a hash of an attempt at a mosaic on my own wall now.
Thanks for the nice read, keep up the interesting posts…..
My boss always gets really uptight and anal about using/wasting post-its, often saving them if there’s any space left and re-using them.
I should buy a bunch some day and cover the walls of glass doors at work and freak him out!
I see why they are making profit… You must be one of their big time customers…
Nice creativity. Keep up the good work.
Nice… I didn’t know how to make designs when I attacked a wall:

What a waste of time and PAPER, especially covering cars.
i like the creative impulse. i know what it’s like to work a shitty office job. sometimes your coworkers need what’s coming to them (a cubical or car covered in post-its) or something amusing to look at on their lunch break (a video game sprite on the window).
that being said, this a horrid waste of paper. the world’s resources are being gobbled up at an alarming rate, and i highly doubt any of these post-it notes were reused upon removal. thank you for throwing away paper pulp, paint chemicals, and glue chemicals into the environment (’cause really, where does your trash go?) all for the sake of art.
go find something more worthwhile to do. when your making pixel art in rice fields, or growing massive gardens on your office roof, you can color me impressed.
and yes, feel free to paint me off as some raving eco-lunatic. it’s my earth too though.

Cool, I hope they stole all those post-its from their crappy office jobs!
You just can’t be beat on design…priceless!!!!
I have no idea why either but I like these a lot :) Must of taken a while to put these together as perfect as they are!
Hello, nice site :)
Fun diversion. It reminds me of a college business course that I took. The instructor had us cover a wall with post-it’s, and each post-it contained an idea. Cool!
Good stuff, very nicely done.
