More than just page-holders, bookmarks are delightful splashes of imagination marking spots in your favorite stories. If you’re wanting to sprinkle some cuteness into your reading, why not craft some adorable bookmarks yourself?
Refined Pressed Blooms
Pressed blooms create sophisticated bookmarks that keep a piece of nature close. I often press blooms from my garden and seal them in see-through cling wrap for a delicate look.
Inspired by the Outdoors
Bring the outdoors in with nature-inspired bookmarks featuring leaves or feathers. Collecting materials during a hike and adding them to my bookmarks is a favorite thing to do.
Interactive Paper Folds
Fold your way to fun with paper fold bookmarks that double as little paper sculptures. I get a kick out of creating bookmarks that transform into playful shapes like cranes or hearts.
Gleaming Edges
Add a sparkle to your reading with gleaming edges. A touch of gold or silver around the edges gives bookmarks a luxurious feel that I can’t resist.
Bright Edge Highlights
Add a pop of color with edge-painted bookmarks. Using bright acrylics along the edges transforms a simple bookmark into a vibrant page marker.
Soft-Touch Luxury
For a touch of luxury, try soft-touch bookmarks. The soft texture feels indulgent, and they’re surprisingly easy to make with soft-touch paper.
Freehand Bookmarks
Showcase your artistic flair with freehand bookmarks. I love letting my imagination run wild, sketching whimsical patterns and tiny drawings on blank bookmarks.
Playful Toon Buddies
Add some cheer to your books with toon character bookmarks. Drawing cute critters and characters has always been a fun way for me to personalize my bookmarks.
Fringed Flair
Add a bit of flair with a fringe-topped bookmark. Making fringes from embroidery string is a relaxing craft, and they add a lovely three-dimensional touch.
Shapes of Wonder
Fashion some geometric shapes from vibrant cardstock for a modern, artsy bookmark. I’m all about mixing up shapes to make each bookmark special.
Painted Water Wonders
Make soft, dreamy bookmarks with painted water techniques. I enjoy playing with different color mixes to make each bookmark a little work of art.
