To make all the bookmarks we will need:
- - Bookmark “Cat's Paw” (white cardboard, scissors, glue, pencil, pink felt).
- - Bookmark “Stitch Index” (scrappaper or regular cardboard, scissors, thin eraser, cutter, pencil).
- - Bookmark “Cup of Tea” (colored cardboard (white and brown), tea bag, glue, tape, scissors, pencil, felt-tip pen).
- - Bookmark “Cat” (white cardboard, glue, scissors, felt-tip pen, pencil).
Bookmark "Cat's Paw"
Step 1. Draw a cat's paw on white cardboard (height 9.5 cm and width 2.5 cm). If desired, the color of the cardboard can be any, for example, gray, orange, black.
Step 2. Cut along the contour. Now we will make soft pads for the paw. From pink felt we cut out four small circles and another slightly larger one.Felt will make your paws look soft and voluminous.
Step 3. Glue the pink blanks to the foot.
Step 4. All you have to do is put a bookmark in the book and you're done!
Tab “Stitch index”
Step 1. Cut out a small rectangle from scrap paper or regular colored cardboard.
Step 2. On the back side, draw an arrow (length 4 cm, width 1.5 cm) and cut it out. To make the arrow look neater, let's round its edges a little.
Step 3: Using a cutter, carefully make two small slits along the crease, then thread the elastic through as shown in the photo.
Step 4. In order not to make a mistake with the size of the elastic, put it on the book and tie it in a knot (cut off the unnecessary ends of the elastic). The elastic band should fit tightly.
Step 5. All that remains is to place the bookmark on the book and enjoy reading. The advantage of the arrow pointer is that it can be moved and thus you can find the page where you stopped, right down to the line.
Bookmark “Cup of tea”
Step 1. On white cardboard, draw a cup of tea (height 4.5 cm and width 4.5 cm) and cut it out along the contour.
Step 2. Next, draw a small oval on brown cardboard, using it we will depict as if tea is poured into our mug. Glue the blank to the mug. Let’s make the mug more expressive by tracing its outline.
Step 3. Next, tear off the tag (along with the thread) from the tea bag. Then glue it to the back of the cup using tape.
Step 4. All that remains is to put the cup in the book, and leave the tag - the label outside.
Bookmark "Cat"
Step 1. Draw a cat on white cardboard (length 12 cm, width 4.5 cm). Draw a face, ears and paws. The legs must be at least 3 cm long, otherwise the bookmark will not hold well. You can use cardboard in any color you want.
Step 2. Using scissors, cut out along the contour of our cat. We cut out the paws without reaching the end.
Step 3. Then let's color our cat. We will outline it with a black felt-tip pen and draw a face. Using a pink pencil, we will add some blush and color the ears to make the cat look even cuter. You can also draw various patterns, stripes, spots.
Step 4. Hook the legs onto the page. Now, when you open the book, you will be cheerfully greeted by the cutest cat.
These are the bookmarks we got! They look interesting, beautiful, unusual and most importantly they are very comfortable. Now even the most boring textbook will be more fun for a student to read!
