How is it that I, one who always has a book or 2 that I'm reading, do not have a bookmark. I usually use the library due slip. It helps me know how long I still have. Well, I still needed a bookmark and found this tutorial. Perfect!
I was in charge of the crafts at our family reunion this summer and prepped a bunch of bookmarks for the kids. Unfortunately, there was a lack in kids and I was left with a ton of circles and squares that needed some love so I put them all together and this is what I got.
The tutorial puts teeth on the bookmarks which is so cute because it looks like the monster is eating the book, but I was pressed for time and decided they were still cute without the teeth.
I also made a triangle bookmark that I didn't take a picture of. I really like the ideas the tutorial gives on the triangle ones, but I think I like the squares better.
One last thing, when I made these, I actually measured and cut out a square one and a triangle one on thicker card stock and didn't fold them. Now I just use those as templates to trace when I want to make one. That way I don't have to measure every time.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this! I'm exactly like you- I use my library due slip for a bookmark, but I love these ones and now have a new project on the way... thanks! P.S. I love that you have a separate craft blog :)
