How to make a funky bookmark

23 Comments

Make a funky bookmark for yourself, or to sell at your bring and buy sale.

You will need
  • Coloured card
  • Black pen
  • Glue
  • Scissors

Instructions

  1. Take your first piece of brown card (this will be the main part of the bookmark) and cut it down to a 15cm square

  2. Fold it in half to make a triangle

  3. Fold the two bottom corners to the top, making a square shape, then unfold back into a triangle

  4. Fold the top corner of the triangle (only fold one layer of paper) to meet the bottom of the triangle

  5. Glue the two bottom corners folding them back up. Stick them into the gap made by folding the top corner in step 4. You should be left with a square shape with a pocket on the inside of one half

  6. Turn the bookmark so the pocket is facing downwards

  7. Decorate the top of the card with a shell pattern

  8. Draw around your bookmark onto some light blue card, then draw a curved line from two opposite corners

  9. Using scissors (DONT FORGET TO ASK HELP FROM A GROWN-UP) cut out the cone shape

  10. Glue this on the inside of the bookmark

  11. On some green card, outline Shelley's head and two legs. Then carefully cut them out (make sure you leave a little extra length on the neck and legs)

  12. Glue the head and legs on the inside of the shell, then fold them over so they stick up from under the shell

  13. Using the white card, draw two eyes, and six claws. Carefully cut them out and stick them onto Shelley

  14. Using a black pen, draw the face

  15. Now it's time to get reading, hook the bookmark over the corner of the page when you are done!
