He was born yesterday.

Like any child
To midges, crumbs, worms ...
After all, the baby is a chicken.

Such a nice little thing as a bookmark for a book is completely unnecessary for those who have switched to electronic "readers", but it will be very useful for lovers of books on paper. There are a lot of options for how to make an original bookmark with your own hands. Consider those that do not require the purchase of expensive and rarely found in the free sale of materials.

Original bookmarks for books with your own hands made of paper

Paper- environmentally friendly, inexpensive and always available material that should not be discounted at all when thinking about what to make an original bookmark for a book. From it, you can make the following types of bookmarks with minimal effort and time:

Corner bookmark... To do this, we take paper (thin cardboard can be used), cut out a square from it with sides of 10 by 10 centimeters. We fold it diagonally, and then we make a pocket like origami "tulip". The main part of the bookmark is ready. To decorate and give original look it is worth making an applique in the form of an animal's face on the outer corner of the bookmark. The contour of the face can be printed by ready-made template from the Internet.

Rectangular bookmark... It is easy to do, it looks very original. So, we take a rectangle of colored paper with sides 7 by 15 cm. At a distance of 5 cm from the top and 2 cm from the sides, draw lines to form another one inside our rectangle. We cut it out along the contour. On the upper part of the bookmark, glue the eyes, make a hole in the center of the "forehead" and insert a bunch of floss threads or multi-colored wires there. The character's "nose" is put on the readable page, its main part - on the next one, and the eyes with funny hair remain sticking out outside the book sheet, allowing you to open the book at any time and find the desired page.

Origami bookmark... There are many origami techniques that can be used as bookmarks for books. All of them will belong to the number of corners.

How to make original beautiful light bookmarks from other materials

Bookmark- this is something very small, but always flat, so as not to damage the pages when closing. Below we will consider how to make original bookmarks from a variety of materials at hand.

Felt. This dense material is often used to make hats and thin coats. If you have a chest with grandmother's unnecessary things lying around, you can borrow a small piece of felt from there or buy fabric in a specialty store. So, we make a corner bookmark for the book in the form of a heart out of felt. To do this, we cut out a heart, the lower part of which is an angle of 90 degrees and a side length of 6-7 cm, and the upper part is two characteristic roundness. We sew the heart on the sides of the corner, having previously tried it on the corner of the book and noting where it is necessary to make a seam so that in the future the bookmark can easily be put on the page. It is better to make the seam with a contrasting thick woolen thread... With it, in the center of the heart, you can embroider a flower or the name of the person to whom you will give this cute souvenir (if it is being prepared for a gift).

Wood. A thin wooden ruler 10-15 cm in length is ideal for creating a durable bookmark. One end of it should be rounded or cut off, giving it the shape of a pointed triangle. Next, the base for the bookmark is pasted over with a three-layer napkin using decoupage technique. To do this, we take the napkin itself, PVA glue, scissors, transparent varnish, two brushes (one for glue and varnish). If you have no experience with this technique, simply glue the top thin layer of the napkin on which the drawing is applied to the ruler. Cover everything with varnish on top. Instead of a napkin, you can use a thin patterned fabric. It will have to be covered with two or three layers of varnish on top. Many original bookmarks for books with your own hands, photos of which can be found on the Internet, were made using the decoupage technique.

Braid, lace, satin ribbons. They can be used both on their own and in original combinations. For example, sheathe a wide dense braid around the perimeter with thin lace. You can use decorative materials to decorate the base of the bookmark, made of thick cardboard. To do this, you will need a sheet of cardboard, scissors, PVA glue, lace and / or colored ribbons. It is better to take the most ordinary cardboard, with a well-absorbent surface. Cut out the base for the bookmark from cardboard (for example, a rectangle with sides 5 by 13 cm). Multicolored thin satin ribbons(from 3 to 10 different colors) glue it obliquely onto the cardboard so that each ribbon encircles the bookmark once. You can glue not obliquely, but horizontally or vertically, or even arrange ribbons of different colors at a distance - "herringbone". If you decide to decorate the bookmark with lace, then take care of creating an opaque base under it - for this, you can paste over the bookmark over the entire width with a cloth.

Great options for decorating wood and cardboard bookmarks- leather, textiles, velvet, paper. Such bookmarks will turn out to be strong and durable.

Take a break from a busy day at work and take some time to do needlework. Handmade - The best way relax and do something useful. For example, bright bookmarks! To make your reading more interesting, we'll show you how to create original and funny bookmarks for your favorite book or diary yourself.
