Don’t stuff books with unnecessary pieces of paper, candy wrappers or calendars – make a beautiful bookmark with your own hands that will please the eye every time you see it. Moreover, it is very simple! We have prepared for you a selection of master classes on making a wide variety of bookmarks, most of which are done in less than 5-10 minutes, but the crafts look very presentable.

Satin bookmarks, bookmarks-clips, faces of different animals and much more - all this can easily be made with your own hands. You can also use most of the accessories to separate notes. If you are studying, be sure to take a closer look at these lessons and choose something that will be convenient for putting your notebooks in the right places. In addition, many homemade bookmarks fit perfectly into journals or scrapbooking albums. In a word, they are universal - choose what you like.

Satin

It's more likely female version, because such a bookmark should be made from some old pendant or earring that has lost its pair. Well, such an accessory looks very romantic - not masculine.

We will need:

• satin ribbon (15-20 cm);
• accessories for bracelets;
• any pendant;
• pliers and wire cutters.

One end satin ribbon, which will be placed in the book, it is better to slightly melt it with fire so that it does not fray (observe safety precautions!). We place the second end in the fittings and clamp it. We insert any decoration into the ring where the clasp is placed.

Take a look at the photo: these homemade bookmarks look like a stylish accessory, and not just a ribbon to secure a page.

There is no shame in giving such a bookmark as a gift to someone or using it in creating a notebook if you are involved in such creative work.

Felt

This bookmark will appeal to schoolchildren and simply lovers of cute little things. In this example we will talk about how to make a felt bookmark in the shape of a bear cub with your own hands, but you can choose any other template (you can look at our selection of stencils).

We will need:

• felt of different colors;
• foam paper;
• Super glue.

Draw the image or trace it using a stencil. You can cut foam paper stationery knife or thin scissors, and you can sew large felt parts with contrasting threads, making large stitches. Small parts need to be glued with superglue (it is very convenient to use a glue gun).

The base of the bookmark is best made from foam paper, as it is soft and flexible: press the strip between two stenciled shapes and glue it together.

Try adding some interesting decor or embroidery to your homemade felt bookmarks to make them even more colorful and interesting.

From a postcard

Making a bookmark from a postcard is even easier, because it only takes a couple of minutes to create. If you are used to filling books with postcards or cardboard, take the time to make something more original and cute.

We will need:

• any postcard or glossy cardboard;
• colored paper;
• markers.

We take any template of a triangular or rectangular shape.

We cut it out and make sure that our bookmark has “ears” cut out - this will make it more interesting. Next you need to make a fixing part. If the stencil allows, we cut out the edge along the contour to create the back and front parts. If this doesn’t work, you can glue on “legs” or “wings”.

To decorate the bookmark, use colored paper and draw faces with “hairstyles” with a felt-tip pen. By the way, such bookmarks can be made miniature and used instead of stickers or note dividers.

Magnetic

It is very convenient to use magnetic bookmarks. They do not fly out, but at the same time they fix the pages of books, which sometimes like to turn over on their own during the reading process if you do not hold them with your hand.

We will need:

• magnetic tape;
• any base;
• Super glue.

As the main material, you can choose a postcard, colored cardboard with your applique, velvet cardboard and something else. You can make a magnetic bookmark with your own hands from almost any beautiful material, which is most often used to create this accessory.

Cut two pieces of magnetic tape that will be slightly narrower than the workpiece. We attach the tape with superglue. We do not recommend taking magnets that are too long and wide, since this is still a bookmark - too tight a fixation is not needed.

Decorate your bookmark as desired, change its shape (you can make it openwork).

With button

Bookmarks made from paper clips are very convenient for securing the pages of small books and personal notebooks. They turn out to be very bright and original, and even a child can make them with their own hands.

We will need:

• paperclip of any size;
• button;
• a piece of fabric;
• Super glue.

It's best to use colored paper clips, as they will look more beautiful and won't crease the pages. You can use non-fabric buttons, but bookmarks with patterned fabric look much more interesting. Covering a button is simple: drop a little glue into the center and spread it well over the button so that there are no smudges, and tie it at the back with thread or glue it.

Glue the paperclip by pushing it slightly under the fabric. If you don’t want to use a button, you can glue a piece of cardboard covered with fabric – it will also work out great. Bookmarks with a pearl bead on top also look beautiful.

Children's bookmarks on sticks

If you want to make a bookmark for a child, you can choose almost any image to serve as its base. This is a very simple video master class that even your child can master.

Flip through coloring books, sort through postcards, or simply draw a fairy-tale character (or any other image) on cardboard. It is most convenient to use culinary skewers as a base, as they are very thin.

By the way, you can color the skewers using acrylic paints. But don't do it with gouache or watercolor - the paint will imprint on the book.

As you can see, making a bookmark with your own hands is a simple task, but very useful. We hope you have found your own version or technique for making this accessory in this collection and are ready to complement it with your own ideas. Well, with colorful bookmarks, reading will become much more interesting, and taking notes will be much more pleasant.

The debate about whether a classic paper book or an electronic one will win is reminiscent of the story from the film “Moscow Doesn’t Believe in Tears”: one of the main characters argued that very soon there will be nothing but television - neither theater nor cinema.

Life proved: he was wrong. It's the same with a book. Yes, some people prefer electronic ones.

However paper version- out of competition. What richness and variety bookstores offer!

How eyes widen as they study the contents of the shelves and counters! And if there is a book, then you need a bookmark for it.

A little history

As soon as people learned how to make books or things that resembled books, they came up with bookmarks. For example, the ancient Egyptians marked the required scrolls with pieces of papyrus.

Later, in handwritten volumes (first parchment, and then paper) it was necessary to somehow mark the necessary pages, so as not to leaf through the voluminous volume from start to finish in search of some selected places.

Precious pages simply had to be taken care of so that they would not fray. Later in the books began to glue silk ribbons.

This technique is still used today, but only in expensive, classic editions. For all the rest you need bookmarks.

They are made from various materials, different ways: leather, plastic, knitted, lace, metal.

However paper ones are more common. The main thing is that you can make them yourself, even involving children in the work.

We teach kids how to make things

Making paper bookmarks is an easy way to teach your sons and daughters how to make things.

The baby will develop hand motor skills and get a taste for creativity., and most importantly, you will see the results very quickly.

Young children do not always have the patience to work on a craft for days or weeks, but a creative bookmark can be made in one evening.

In the process of creativity, skills in handling tools and materials that will be useful in the future are formed.

Here's what you need to prepare before you start:

• paper (white, colored),
• thin cardboard;
• ruler;
• scissors;
• pencils, felt-tip pens;
• glue.

Original performance techniques

You can make a bookmark in the form of an ordinary long strip of paper, or you can show your imagination, then it will be more interesting for you and the children to work. First, choose a craft making technique.

Suitable:

• applique,
• scrapbooking;
• origami;
• weaving;
• quilling

Unusual and beautiful ideas: how to make them

Originality can be achieved through the form itself. It doesn't have to be a long strip of paper.

It could betriangle pocket, which is easy to put on the desired page of the book (it can be made from a regular mailing envelope or glued from a sheet of paper).

Master class on how to make a corner bookmark for books out of paper, origami technique:

It can be any figure, as long as it is convenient to use. Here are some examples.

Palm bookmark. Place your baby’s hand on colored thick paper or thin cardboard and trace the contours of the palm.

Draw something funny on it (like a funny face) and cut it out.

Take a strip of paper and glue it to back side cut out palm. The craft is ready.

And it will have no price when a few years later you find it in one of the books and remember how small your son or daughter was, how tiny their fingers were.

Can be done pencil bookmark, using paper of different colors, making one of its ends triangular, like a sharpened pencil.

If your child wants to give gifts to his friends or family, you can make a whole set of colored pencils with him.

In general, targeted crafts are very good. You can do it for dad mustache bookmark, gluing a drawing in the form of a mustache a la Hercule Poirot to the top of a strip of paper.

For grandfather - tea cup, with an infusion bag lowered into it on a thread, the tip of which, together with the tag paper, will look out of the book.

For grandma, who always forgets everything, you can do reel bookmark from cardboard, finishing it with a kind of spool and carefully winding some beautiful threads on it.

If you want to thread the bookmark around its entire perimeter ( it will be very elegant), do this: mom will sew the craft around the edge on sewing machine(without thread, just punching holes with a needle), and the child, using these holes, will very smoothly, beautifully stitch along all the edges.

More important point : on bookmarks, a quote from your favorite writers, a motivating inscription or your wish to the person to whom the gift is addressed will look very organic.

Try to ensure that the crafts you make together with your children do not lie like dead weight at home, like Gogol’s Manilov for two years on page 14 of the same book.

The child must be convinced of their functionality, to see that his relatives live by the principle of not a day without a book. Then he himself will become addicted to reading.
