Craft a Custom Animal Bookmark
Don’t just color these adorable reading animals—turn them into the perfect companion for your own favorite books! This simple craft activity is a wonderful way to repurpose your finished artwork into a durable, custom bookmark.
- Color and Cut: Choose a page with a smaller, clearly defined animal character (like the hedgehog with glasses or the kitten). Color it vividly with markers or colored pencils, then carefully cut the character out using scissors.
- Create the Base: Cut a rectangular strip of thick, sturdy cardstock (about 2 inches wide and 6 inches long) in a complementary color. Use a glue stick to securely attach your cut-out animal character near the top of the cardstock strip.
- Laminate for Durability: To ensure your bookmark lasts through many reading adventures, either run it through a personal laminating machine or carefully cover both sides with clear packing tape, trimming the excess edges.
- Add the Tassel: Use a standard hole punch to make a single hole at the very top center of your bookmark. Thread a piece of ribbon, yarn, or a pre-made silk tassel through the hole and tie a secure knot.
Now you have a charming, personalized bookmark to mark your place! These also make fantastic, heartfelt gifts for the fellow bookworms and animal lovers in your life.
