How to make bookmarks?

1. Select the required paper. Select a cardboard to support the bookmark, and then paste another pattern or image on it. You can use other paper to collage, or you can choose multiple patterns at will.

2. Paper cutting. Bookmarks are as big as they are. Cut the cardboard into small and inconspicuous bookmarks only 2.5 mm long, or choose to make traditional bookmarks 5 to 7.5 mm wide. Don't make the bookmark longer than 15 cm, or the bookmark will protrude from the top or bottom of the book.

Step 3 add details. Use screened decorative paper or pattern, cut it out and stick it on the cardboard. You can stick a textured paper or a pattern cut from a magazine on the whole cardboard to add style to the handmade works.

4. Seal the bookmark. In order to prevent the bookmark from being worn or damaged, a protective sleeve can be added to the bookmark. If possible, plastic sleeves can be used for lamination. You can also paste wide packaging tapes with the same length on both sides of the bookmark to achieve the same effect. You can consider using a manual liquid gel similar to epoxy glue to color both sides of the bookmark. ?

5. Make the final changes. Punch a hole at the top of the bookmark with a punch. Cut the ribbon of 15 into 20cm, and then fold it in half. Pass one end of the circle through the hole in the bookmark, then pass the tail of the other end through the circle and tighten it. You can add various ribbons to make your bookmarks more textured and colorful.

Beads can be placed at the end of the ribbon to make it more attractive. You can string a few beads and then tie a ribbon to fix them. Light the ribbon-cutting with a match or lighter to prevent abrasion. The flame will melt the plastic and blunt the end of the ribbon.
