Step 1:
You'll need:
- cardboard (more or less 14 cm x 10 cm)
- scissors
- glue
- elastic band (more or less 30 cm)
Step 2:
Fold the cardboard in two.
Step 3:
Glue both ends of the elastic band inside the cardboard, so it makes a loop.
Step 4:
Glue the cardboard.
Step 5:
Optional: you can cut the corners of the cardboard so they are round.
Step 6:
You can decorate the cardboard in the way you prefer: here I've drawn a tulip with felt-tips, but you can use collage or paper, free your fantasy.
Step 7:
The bookmark is ready.
Step 8:
Booksaver: the elastic band will keep the book closed, so the book won't be riuned if you put it in a bag.
Step 9:
Bookmark: the cardboard will keep the mark.
