I always have lots of leftover scrapbook paper after making cards, so today I'm going to show you what I use it for: homemade bookmarks!
Cut a rectangle of scrapbook paper or cardstock approx. 2 x 5 1/2"
Cut a small oval from cardstock. Add a stamp, sticker or writing.
Decorate the bottom half of bookmark. I also cut the corners with decorative scissors.
Punch a hole through the small oval and top of bookmark. I added the gold border around the oval by dabbing it with an inkpad.
Tie on a bow.
Ready for you to use or send to a friend! Here are a few more bookmark ideas...
If you cut the paper shorter, you can make gift tags. I hope you have enjoyed this week's paper project!
those are just lovely!
ReplyDeleteI think those will be my next project...I work at a great antique store/eatery and I was able to find some really neat old keys to copy your birds nest project...next I'm going to tackle this one. Thanks for such wonderful ideas!
ReplyDeleteLovely! And a great 'tag on' for a gift. Or just to give as a gift. Thanks for sharing.

I am doing these with my 5th grade Sunday School class for Mother's Day.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration! We are also wrapping up a tea bag with kisses and hugs (edible!) in some pretty tissue paper for a wonderful blessing for Mom. All she needs to add is a good mug and her favorite mug for a terrific relaxing time-out.
sorry, my comment should have read; a good "book" and her favorite mug....this mom is too busy!!! haha
