3 Creative DIY Bookmarks

Assalamu Alaikum everyone!
This week we are going to be showing you how to make three easy and fun bookmarks.


1. Shaker Bookmark
For this craft you will need:-
a clear plastic jacket
sequins or shiny foil shapes
card
tape
a hole puncher
wool or ribbon
Begin by cutting a rectangle out of the card and another out of the plastic jacket. Make sure they are the same size.

Tape them together using the tape. Only tape three of the sides though.
Next fill the bookmark with pretty sequins and tape it shut.
Punch a hole at the top and add the wool.
Now enjoy your handmade shaker bookmark!
2. Ribbon 'n' Button Bookmark
For this craft you will need:-
some elastic rope
thick ribbon
some thread
a button


Start by cutting the ribbon to a length of around 13 inches. (Actually it would be better to cut it to 15 inches but we were making this bookmark for a smallish book).

Tie your elastic rope. It should be roughly 3 inches in length.
Then loop your ribbon through the elastic rope and sew it to itself as shown below.

Sew the button onto the other end of the ribbon.
Now your bookmark is complete! Simply place it on your page and wrap it around the front of your book.

3. Paperclip Bookmark
For this craft you will need:-
paperclips
wool (any colours)
beads


First tie the different coloured wool around the top of the paperclip.
You can then add a large bead and tie a knot.
Finish off with some smaller lettered beads and trim the ends of the wool.
Now clip it in your book to mark your page.
This is such an easy bookmark to make. It's so simple and cute!

We hope you liked the post and we will see you next Friday insha'Allah.

Wassalam,

    1. Our mother made our logo for us but it's a bit hard to explain how. Our mother said that she could make you one too, insha'Allah, if you would like. You can email her here at our email address: craftymuslimahs@hotmail.com. Hope this helps.
