Immerse yourself in the world of DIY-Bookmarks and let your creativity run wild! With a little kraft cardboard, inspiring stamps and a pinch of napkin technique you can design unique bookmarks that not only only decorate your books but also reflect your personality. We'll also show you how to easily design your own gift card.

Our example consists of bookmarks measuring approx. 17 x 6 cm. And a white gift card measuring approx. 18 x 10 cm. Both are presented after crafting in a self-made kraft cardboard case.

Transparent bookmark

For the first bookmark, you can cut a rectangle of windmill foil measuring 17 x 6 cm. Cut one end of this rectangle into a flat pennant. Write a message in your favorite font on a piece of paper or print it out in your favorite font from your PC as a template. Place this template under the pinwheel foil and trace the lettering with a fine permanent liner.

Punch a hole in the middle of the straight short side, approx. 0.5 cm from the edge. Pull an anchor chain through this hole , attach a ringlet to the back end to hold the bookmark in place chain to the bookmark and attach a tassel with an eyelet to the other end.

White bookmark

The decorative bookmarks made from the white Paper are decorated up to about halfway with napkin technique and decorated with a decorative stamp on the remaining white background.

First you cut the napkins so that they fit on the bookmarks and separate the layers from the napkin so that you only still have the top printed layer in front of you.

Then coat the bookmarks with napkin varnish and place the motifs on top. Then apply another layer of napkin varnish and leave to dry.

Now you can design your bookmarks further by decorating them with stamps. To do this, separate the desired Clear Stamps from the carrier foil and position the one you want to use on the acrylic block. Then color the stamp with the ink pads and you can start stamping as you wish.

Now cut kraft cardboard measuring 17 x 6 cm for the designed bookmark and the photo cardboard designed with the napkins slightly smaller in the format of approx. 16 x 5.5 cm.

Take the kraft cardboard and punch a hole in the middle of one short side and cut the other short side into a decorative pennant. Attach an anchor chain with a tassel in the hole as you did with the transparent bookmark.

Position the white Paper on the kraft cardboard so that it is exactly in the middle and cut the pennant shape into the white Paper. to match the kraft cardboard. It can be easily attached to the kraft cardboard using double-sided adhesive tape.

Voucher

For the Voucher , simply cut coloured paper to the size of 20 x 9 cm and place the "Voucher" stamp.

gift wrapping

For the transparent bookmark, simply cut a piece kraft paper in the size of approx. 20 x 8 cm. Use a pencil to draw two parallel auxiliary lines on the kraft paper, each approx. 9.5 cm from the short edges and approx. 0.5 cm from the long edge. Make two slits here with the scalpel and pull the bookmark through them.

You can make a case out of kraft cardboard for the Voucher and the white bookmark. Cut a piece of kraft paper to the size of approx. 20 x 20 cm. Fold it in the middle and make two parallel slits on both sides approx. 1 cm from the outer edge and approx. 0.5 cm from the fold. Insert the Voucher, on one side and the bookmark on the other.

Drill a hole in the middle of the outer edge. The case can later be tied together with a ribbon through this hole. Cut another piece of white coloured paper for the front of this case and label it as you wish (here: for you). This will decoratively cover the slit in the cardboard.
Finally, you can decorate everything further by cutting the corners of your bookmarks and the gift box round.
