Kawaii sticky note widget

What a kawaii 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 kawaii style shapes it

Kawaii widgets are deliberately cute: very round shapes, pink and cream colors, small hearts or stars and friendly rounded type. Simple shapes with two dots and a curve become faces.

• Text: Use extra-bold rounded type in cocoa and write in a friendly, short way.

How to make a kawaii sticky note widget in WidgetCraft

1. Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 200 × 200, the background to #FFF4F7 and the corner radius to 34.
2. Add a Shape 52 × 16 at the top center in #FF8FB1 at 75% opacity, like a strip of tape, and rotate it 2°.
3. Add a Text layer for the title at size 20 in #5B3A45 using Nunito.
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 #B08A97 at 30% opacity for a ruled-paper look.
6. Add the kawaii ornament with Shape layers and move them below the other layers in Layers: two small hearts in the top right (one pink, one yellow) and a soft yellow dot in the bottom right.
7. Tap Save, then Add to home screen and resize the widget on your launcher if needed.

Tips for kawaii sticky note widgets

• Use radius 30 or more on everything.
• Add one small heart or star shape as decoration.
• 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 black; cocoa brown is softer.
• Do not crowd the widget with many decorations.
