Make your own bookmark (fall-on-the-floor-proof)

Build your own (offline) Bookmark for you, your friend for mother's day or everything else you can think of.

This bookmark will hold your book together, will spare your book and will not fall out, if your book falls onto the floor.

Step 1 Supllies

What you need is:

• some cardboard, a ruler, anythig you can get a hole in and you want to use as bookmark. (I used a cardboard with a printed-on ruler, you never know, when you can need a ruler.) or you cann follow this Instructable.
• rubber band or elastic thread
• a scissor, drill, or a hole puncher
• a book you read and which you can bookmark with your new bookmark
• optional: duct tape
• not optional but mandatory: instructable sticker

Really cool idea!

[ladylissa]

Where can i get said sticker?

[J@50n]

most likely they won it from a contest...

[agis68]

or if not so lucky you can make it DIY in Photoshop, and the printed...I do it all the time ( not with this specific sticker)

i'm pretty sure the rubber without being wound around the book is enough to prevent it from falling out, because rubber is quite grippy ( unless your using elastic which is covered with synthetics)

Nice. very practical and useful idea. :)

[Wafflicious]

i just use an elastic =)

I made one with this little slim calculator that came free with a pack of biros and I stuck the calculator onto the ruler(in a way so That I could still use the ruler properly)Then poked a hole (reeeeeeaaaaaaalllllllyyyy slowly) using the point of a compass. I use this bookmark for maths class! REALLY COOL INSTRUCTIBLE!!!!!!!!!

where do you get the stickers

[knarx]

I got them directly from intructables.com, because one of my instructable (the horse radish) was featured in the newsletter. Thanks again to the team...
