If you’re an avid reader, how do you keep track of where you are up to? Do you leave your book open at the page? Do you fold a corner over, or do you use some kind of bookmark? Have you ever thought of making your own bookmarks?
A nice bookmark can take pride of place between the pages of your book. There’s something really lovely about a good bookmark. In the past I’ve used everything from bus tickets to post it notes to mark where I’m up to in a book, but that’s usually a temporary solution. To solve the problem, I have designed four very different bookmarks to print and colour myself.
They’re really simple to do. Just print them out on card, colour them in however you like; cut them out and they’re ready to go. If you’re feeling fancy you can punch a hole in the top and thread through some ribbon or a tassel to give your bookmarks a bit of finesse. To make your coloured bookmarks last forever, you could cut them out and laminate them.
Modern bookmarks are available in a wide variety of materials in a range of designs and styles. Many are made of card, but you can also find bookmarks made from paper, ribbon, fabric, felt or plastic.
Some bookmarks can be very ornate and expensively made, some people use bus tickets, post-it notes or scraps of paper to mark where they are up to in a book. If you know someone who uses an old bus ticket, why not make them a pretty bookmark they can treasure and enjoy using forever. Sharing is caring and all that!
