Easy Bookmark Project


My kids made this kind of bookmark last year. It's fun and beautiful.
  • The best time to collect your main ingredient is in spring, summer or fall when all those nice flowers bloom.
  • Put them in between your thick phone books pages or any heavy book for at least 12 hours to dry.
  • Cut two pieces of transparent plastic (Transparency film) about 8 1/2" x 2" or any size you like.
  • Arrange about two to three dried flowers on one of your transparent pieces, and put the other on top. Make sure you leave enough space between the flowers and the edges of your plastic.
  • Cover with a piece of cloth and press them with hot iron for few minutes.
  • Hole punch the top of your bookmark, and finish it with a nice string or ribbon.
