Christmas sticky note widget

What a Christmas 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 Christmas style shapes it

Christmas widgets use pine green, berry red, cream and a little gold. A countdown to 25 December is the classic, joined by a festive clock and a gift list.

• Text: Use cream text on pine green with a festive display font for the title only.

How to make a Christmas sticky note widget in WidgetCraft

1. Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 200 × 200, the background to #14402B and the corner radius to 20.
2. Add a Shape 52 × 16 at the top center in #D62828 at 75% opacity, like a strip of tape, and rotate it 2°.
3. Add a Text layer for the title at size 20 in #FBF3E0 using Mountains of Christmas.
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 #A9C4B0 at 30% opacity for a ruled-paper look.
6. Add the Christmas ornament with Shape layers and move them below the other layers in Layers: a string of five small baubles (circles alternating red and gold) hanging from a thin curved line across the top right.
7. Tap Save, then Add to home screen and resize the widget on your launcher if needed.

Tips for Christmas sticky note widgets

• Set a countdown layer to 25 December.
• Use gold sparingly for small details.
• Four short lines is the most a 2 × 2 note can hold at a readable size.
• Use line breaks rather than long sentences so the note scans at a glance.
• For a list you tick off, use a to-do widget instead.
• Do not use bright lime green.
• Do not use the decorative font for small text.
