Back to School Project Idea of the Day-August 28, 2009

 

Does your child love to read?  Make them a set of these cute little bookmarks, or give to their teacher as a great back to school gift idea. 

How to create:

Bookmark #1:

Using the Custom Cutting System and the oval templates, cut(to make this cut use the inside of the second largest oval template with the red blade) two ovals from the green paper. 

Using pen, doodle along outer edge of one oval.

Place pencil sticker onto this green oval.

Cut clear title sticker with scissors.  Place on top of the pencil sticker. 

Place paperclip between the two ovals, with one side of the clip on the back.  Adhere two ovals together.

Bookmark #2:

Cut piece from blue paper to measure 3/4"x2-7/8", using the trimmer.

Mat this piece of paper on the white lined paper, leaving 1/4" border.  Cut a second piece this same size, and place the paperclip between these two pieces with one side of the paperclip on the back side. 

Using Circle Maker, punch one circle using the small circle from the blue paper, and one large circle from the white lined paper.  Mount the blue circle on the white circle, and adhere to the side of the strip with the paperclip. 

Bookmark #3:

Punch 2 scalloped circles using the Scalloped Circle Maker from blue paper. 

Place paperclip between scalloped circles, leaving one side of the paperclip out. 

Place title sticker on front of scalloped circle.

I made these book marks and I never ever lost my way or PLACE again! I tell you they are amazing and Nicole is one hell of a designer. She's redoing my whole house and it's just like being on TLC on one of those make-over shows! (where they have a skimpy budget, but things look amazin'!)
