Keep Your Page...in Style

I love to read! 

In addition to my magazine addiction is my book addiction. 

I have oodles and oodles of Nicholas Sparks and Karen Kingsbury! 

And I really have trouble putting the books down. 

However, when I finally am able to put them down, I will literally just close up the book. Or, sometimes, I will search for a receipt that isn't needed to keep my place in the book. 

That was until I figured out how to make these absolutely ADORABLY cute bookmarks. 

All you need is a piece of scrap paper that is 6" x 6" and your Rotary Trimmer with a Scoring Blade! 

Score your paper at the 3" mark, turn it, and then again at the 3 inch mark. 

Score from corner to corner, as well.

Fold you square from corner to corner, to create a triangle. 

Flip one point of the triangle down.

Fold the points down into the "pocket". 

Now is the fun part--add some paper flowers, epoxy stickers, or icon stickers to dress up your book mark. 

Next time you go to close your book, you will have a cute bookmark to mark your page. 

These quick and inexpensive bookmarks would make a wonderful teacher gift, or a gift that a few tween girls could make together at a party! 

Happy Reading, and CREATING!

Thanks so much for the idea! We used this for a bookmark contest at our NSD event on Saturday, and the majority of guests decided to participate since they were so cute and EASY to make!
