Create a whole collection of fun bookmarks to hold your place and add a cheery burst of color or motivational quote to the page.
What you need:
For the bookmark: card stock paper; stickers; paper punch outs; pens; scissors; glue
Step one:
Cut a rectangle out of card stock 8 in by 2 in, with rounded corners.
Step 2:
Decorate!
Step three:
Set the bookmark aside and move on to the tassel. You will only need embroidery floss and scissors for this.
Step four:
Pull out a section of embroidery floss, but don't cut it.
Wrap it around three fingers, then when you've reached the desired thickness, cut it.
Slide the coils off of your fingers, taking care not to let them unwind.
Step five:
Cut a short piece of embroidery floss and thread it through the coils as shown.
Step six:
Cut a third piece of embroidery floss and tie it around the loops, dividing them into one large and one small section.
Cut the loops at one end.
Step seven:
Punch a hole in the bookmark and tie the tassel through the hole.
Ta da! One beautiful bookmark. Now make a whole bunch! : )
