I’ve made DIY bookmarks before, and I like them, but the problem was that they extend the pages of the book. I like to carry my books with me, so when I used those bookmarks and put the book it my purse, it would always fall off the pages. So, I decided to make another version. This one is obviously fall inspired. I considered using scrapbook paper, but then decided to use leaves since there are so many of them on the ground outside this time of year. Let me know what you think!
Leaves
Scissors
Mod Podge
Paint swatch
Paint Brush(es)
* Hot melt glue is optional but recommended. If you are impatient, like I am, it makes the process go a bit faster.
Cut the paint swatch in half and round the edges.
Glue the first leaf to the paint swatch. Press down and hold for a few seconds to make sure it sticks.
Repeat step 2 until the whole paint swatch is covered.
Add a thin layer of Mod Podge over the leaves. This will act as a sealant and will leave a gloss cover when it dries.
There you go. A quick and easy festive bookmark. You most likely won’t lose this one in your purse either!
Happy crafting!
