Want to make a hearts and flowers bookmark but don't know how to get started? Read on to help you get on track with your project.
Steps
-
Gather different colors of thick paper. Light colors are recommended, such as white, pink, baby blue or light purple.
-
Cut the paper into a straight line to form a bookmark. If you have trouble cutting in a straight line, try folding the paper in half first
-
Sketch some hearts and flowers all over the bookmark.
-
Grab a paintbrush and paint the hearts neatly with red paint and the flowers yellow.
-
Wait about 4 hours for the paint to dry. Once the paint's dry, you have your very own homemade bookmark!
Tips
- To make it more durable, you can choose to laminate it. Laminating makes it resistant against liquids, dust, and dirt.
Warnings
- Work in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhaling the paint fumes.
