DIY Bookmark

We usually can't finishing reading a book at one time. We need to read it at many times. So the bookmark play an important role in marking the page you have read the last time. You don't even to buy the bookmark in the store, you can easily make it by yourself.


Materials:

- Decorative paper
- Card stock
- Template (optional)
- X-Acto knife
- Ribbon
- Hole punch

Instructions:

1. If your favor is for a wedding, print out this template and cut along the lines. Or, for a more personalized look, cut a long rectangle out of card stock and add your own message and decorations.

2. Punch a hole at the top of the bookmark and tie a ribbon the it.

3. Cut a sheet of decorative paper that's the same length of your book, leaving a few inches extra on both sides.

4. Wrap the paper around the book, folding the edges around the insides of the front and back cover. Crease along the edges and spine to keep everything into place.

5. Remove the paper from the book. Use an X-Acto knife to cut two slits in the center of the cover to hold your bookmark. They should be slightly wider than the bookmark.

6. Put the cover back on your book and slip the bookmark through the slits.

That is how the personalized bookmark made.
