DIY Photo Bookmarks Craft

Today I want to share a DIY photo bookmark craft to you. DIY photo bookmark is the perfect gift for readers. Here is how you do:


Materials:

- Your photo with the arms up
- Laminator/plastic sheet
- Scissors
- Hole Punch
- Embroidery floss
- Cardboard or cardstock about 3 inches long/tall

Instructions:

1. Make Photo

A. Print the photo (with arms up) so that it is about 5 inches from top to bottom. Cut out photo.
B. Insert photo into laminator and laminate it.
C. Cut out around the photo again, but leave about 1/4 inch of the laminated plastic in tact so it stays sealed.
D. Using a hole punch, put a hole in the area of the picture near their hands.

2. Make Tassel

A. Line end of embroidery floss up with end of cardboard.
B. Wrap floss around cardboard about 12 times and cut end. The more you wrap, the thicker your tassel will be. Make sure you cut the floss on the same side of the cardboard you started on.
C.Slide scissors between floss and cardboard and cut all the floss. Again, make sure you do this on the side with the cut ends.
D.Cut a piece of floss about 10-12 inches long and tie the ends in a knot.
E.Slip that loop over the 12 strand tassel, making sure the knot is hidden in the folded floss.
F. Cut a piece of floss about 7-8 inches long and slide it under the tassel floss.
G. Trim the end of the tassel so that all pieces are the same length.

3. Make Final Bookmark
A. Insert tassel into hole on bookmark from the front side.
B. Put the tassel through the loop and pull tight.

That's it! That is how you make the personalized bookmark.
