Bored about traditional Christmas cards? I propose you to make one with an extra use: a magnetic bookmark. So your family and friends will remember you every time they stop reading a book, and with magnets they'll never loose the point!

Pictures of your work are welcome!

Step 1Tools and materials

Tools and materials
You need:

1 - Sheet of cardstock (white or coloured).
2 - Paintings.
3 - Magnet add (those flexibles and thin).
4 - Pencil and rule.
5 - Cutter and cutting mat.

The painting technique I'm going to use is colour markers with water (I don't know if there is another name for that), but you can use your preferred one.

You stick the page you were on in between the two flaps of the bookmark. The magnets stick to each other through the book page and keep the bookmark from falling out. Great idea. Will definitely be trying this. N
