Printing on Post Its

1. Create a template in Google Slides. Format the page to 8.5 x 11 inches to make it the size of a paper.
2. Using the Shapes tool, create a square. With the square selected, click on the format tab to size it to 3 inches by 3 inches.
3. Change the shading of the square to transparent and copy and paste until you have six on the page.
4. Place a small “t” somewhere near the top of the page so you know where the top of the page is when you print it.
5. Go to file and download it as a PDF. Print the PDF
6. Place Post Its on the page so it feeds through the printer sticky side first.

Putting Bitmojis on the Post Its

1. Set up your Bitmoji account using the free app.
2. Using Chrome, go to the Chrome Web Store and add the Bitmoji extension. It will put the Bitmoji icon just to the right of the address bar.
3. Open your Google Slides tab.
4. Click on the Bitmoji extension icon, select the image you want, and drag it onto one of the 3-inch boxes.
5. Download again as PDF and print them on the paper you’ve already covered with Post Its.
