How to create your own bookmark

Of course a simple piece of paper or store-bought bookmark can do the trick at keeping your place while diving in to one of your favorite, classic reads. These printed quotes are so adorable for a sweet back to school treat or even to freshen up and get excited about your summertime reading list. Create a felt, corner bookmark in a variety of adorable shapes. Use some duct tape to create fun, chic designs. Start with some cardboard or thicker construction paper and then get to work!

Printing your own bookmarks can be a great marketing tool, especially for schools and libraries. Bookmarks are a simple tool that your customers or prospects can use over and over again for years to come. Keep in mind that all images below can be enlarged by clicking on them. The first step is to download the bookmark template by clicking the green Download button on the right. Your template may have opened automatically. To do that you insert a new page which may put the blank page above the page you have already designed.

Many of us own books and often need to mark a page. Most of us own more books than bookmarks, however. Some invest in a limited amount of commercial bookmarks. Others simply scramble for paper scraps when the need to mark a page arises. This instructable will teach you how to create attractive, sturdy bookmarks that you can truly call your own. So spend and scramble no more--let's create homemade bookmarks! Did you use this instructable in your classroom?
