Cut, fold, and decorate paper or card strips with drawings, stickers, and tassels to design your own bookmarks. A quick, low-mess craft that gives your books a personal touch and makes a great small gift.

The Essentials

  • Cut card stock rather than thin paper for a bookmark sturdy enough to survive repeated use
  • Round or angle the corners with scissors, since sharp square corners fray and bend faster with handling
  • Punch a hole near the top for a tassel or ribbon, giving something to grip when pulling the bookmark out
  • Laminate or cover with clear tape if the design uses markers or watercolor, to prevent smudging over time
  • Keep the design simple with bold shapes or a short phrase, since intricate details get lost on a small surface
