Directions for Straight-On Bookmarks
1. First, make sure you choose suitable paper. Select a paper to act as the support for your bookmark, and then choose an additional image or pattern to glue over the top. Feel free to make a collage of other papers or to select multiple images if you want.
2. Cut the paper (the size of the bookmark is up to you) Cut the bookmark measuring 2-3 inches wide. Don’t make the bookmark longer than 6 inches, as some books are this size and you don’t want the bookmark to stick out the bottom as well as the top.
3. Add your details. using the decorative paper or images you may have selected, cut and glue them onto the bookmark. Try gluing a piece of textured paper or a cut-out from a magazine over the entirety of the cardstock for an easy way to add style to your craft.
