Botanical sticky note widget

What a botanical sticky note widget shows

A sticky note widget holds a few words you need to see: a shopping list, a reminder, a phone number. It works best short, with a bold title and three or four lines.

Type the note straight into a Text layer, or keep notes in WidgetCraft's Tasks, notes & habits section and show them with the Saved notes list. Both are free, stay on the phone and need no permission.

How the botanical style shapes it

Botanical widgets bring plants onto the home screen: deep and soft greens, leaf photographs and a calm serif or sans. They pair naturally with nature wallpapers.

• Text: Use deep green text instead of black.

How to make a botanical sticky note widget in WidgetCraft

1. Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 200 × 200, the background to #E9EFE4 and the corner radius to 22.
2. Add a Shape 52 × 16 at the top center in #3F7D4E at 75% opacity, like a strip of tape, and rotate it 2°.
3. Add a Text layer for the title at size 20 in #1F3327 using Libre Baskerville.
4. Add a second Text layer for the note, one item per line, at size 15 with line spacing 1.7. To show notes you keep in the app instead, add Saved notes.
5. Add thin Shape rules under each line in #6E8574 at 30% opacity for a ruled-paper look.
6. Tap Save, then Add to home screen and resize the widget on your launcher if needed.
