We are going to make a bookmarks using the rest of the die-cut paper in this case, some butterflies; but you can take any other way and create your own bookmark.
When we do craft work and use a die to cut out some shape, We always have a piece of paper where we have punched. In today's post I show you how to use it so that it does not go straight to the garbage and create a nice bookmark for our readings.
Materials to make this butterfly bookmark:
- Rest of die-cut paper.
- Note: you can punch some butterflies into a rectangle to make this bookmark.
- Butterfly die.
- Cardboard.
- 3D adhesive.
- Liquid glue.
- Pink pen.
- Drill.
- Ribbon, lace.
- Die cut butterfly.
- Pink ink.
Step by step for the bookmark:
- Cut a rectangle with the measurements you prefer. Leave a space at the bottom to be able to place the die-cut shape of a butterfly in another color.
- Cut another rectangle out of cardstock of a different color and it gives a centimeter more in length and width.
- Mark a fake stitched with the pink pen, along the contour of the die-cut paper.
- Flip it over and place some 3D stickers, This will add volume to the bookmark.
- Now, ink the largest rectangle around its outline.
- Now place the die-cut paper leaving half a centimeter on each side both in length and width.
- Finally decorate the bookmark. Glue the butterfly with liquid glue in the space reserved for her.
- Punch a hole in the top, you can put a brat if you prefer, tie some ribbons that combine with the chosen colors, in my case a rose and some raw lace.
And you will have a super cute bookmark ready for you or to give as a gift now that book day is approaching. I hope you liked it and that it inspires you.
