Happy Reading with Crafting!!




Hey Guys,
I love crafting and my husband loves reading, so I thought let's make some cute and unique bookmarks this time. They are very easy to make and will bring a smile on that person's face who will put this bookmark after enjoying their reading!!

Cute Gift idea for all book lovers/readers out there!!

In this video I am sharing 4 types of DIY Bookmarks:

1. Pom Pom Bookmark: 

This one is the easiest and cutest out of all. 

Materials required:
U-pin
Pom Pom
Hot glue gun
Masking tape
Googly eyes
Pom Pom lace

Procedure:
Take a U-pin and attach a Pom Pom to it with the help of glue gun and cover it with a piece of masking tape for extra protection. Now stick a pair of googly eyes to the other side of pom pom and make our cute pom pom live ;) and finally stick a cute pom pom lace on top of the pom pom to make it's ears or head gear or whatever you want to call it. 

Give it a try, It will only take few minutes to make.

2. Puppet Bookmark: 
You can consider it to be an updated version of the first one. But this one turned out to be the most unique one.
Materials required:
Lace (2 cm wide) and a thin one as well
U-pin
Hot glue gun
Pom Pom
Googly eyes
Masking tape
Foam sheet
Match stick
Scissor

Procedure:
For this bookmark it's better to follow the video to get the exact idea about how to make it.
Basically I have tried making a puppet like figure out of lace pieces here and then using pom poms to fill the body and make the face, if that makes any sense ;)
Finally attaching the googly eyes, nose and U-pin on the back side to make it work as a bookmark.

3. Bee Bookmark:
This one is my absolute favourite.

Materials required:
Wire
plier
3 circular beads
Hot glue gun
Googly eyes
Masking tape
U-pin

Procedure:
Cut 2 same length wire and make an eye on 1 end of each wire. Insert all the 3 beads in both the wires and secure each bead with other one using hot glue, as shown in the picture below.

Now fold the other end of wires to make 2 cute antenna's (see the right picture) and finally attach googly eyes and U-pin and your Bee bookmark is ready.



4. Beetle Bookmark:
If you like simple things the this bookmark is perfect for you.


Materials required:

Cardboard pieces
Pencil
Black and Red markers
Hole puncher
School glue
Hot glue
Foam sheet
Scissor

Procedure:
For this one no procedure details are required, just draw & paint a cute beetle and stick it to a foam sheet to make a cute beetle bookmark.
