How to make a Book Marker

It happens like every morning.

The same thing.

I am reading my Bible and decide that I will read 'this' book of the Bible.

And then I will fold some paper together and make a little book marker.

I will use that folded piece of paper for awhile and for some reason or another that paper will disappear.

...probably from my Bible traveling from my purse to the church to back to my purse.

And then the process starts all over again.

...I will need another book marker.

The other day I decided to make a few book markers for an event coming up on Sunday.

Since I started this Good Artbox blog, I have accumulated my share of markers and various kinds of paper.

One type of paper that I have is cardstock paper.

I use cardstock paper to make cards that I give to my family for different holidays.

You can use any type of paper that you want but I chose to go with cardstock paper because it is a bit heavier than regular paper.

What you will need to make a super simple book marker of your own is:

Paper (cardstock paper)
Scissors
Clear Packaging Tape
Markers
Ruler

I used copic markers because I love them.

Decide what size that you want your book marker.

Using a ruler and pencil, trace the size that you want.

Cut.

Decorate with markers.

Use the packaging tape to cover the book marker.  This is like laminating without the big machine.

Cut the loose ends of the tape.

Be sure to put tape on the back of the book marker to ensure your entire book marker is "laminated".

Voila!

Your very own unique book marker.

 

Do you have a lot of book markers on hand?

Have you ever created your own book marker?

 So the Christmas break is just about ending.  My oldest daughter is soon to return to her college life as well as my second oldest.  So it will be two children home with their two parents.  Sometimes I get the fun privilege of perusing through my daughter's photos from college.  Yes, that actually happens...ha! ha!

I really think my daughter has a photographer's eye for capturing great photos.

She let me post a photo of her dorm room while she was in the process of decorating her room with paper chains and a map that she simply cut up and taped it to the wall.  I thought it was cute and unique.  

And something that I thought was really cool was she and her friends chalk drawings on the sidewalk.  Who knew that college kids could find great fun in writing with chalk on the sidewalk?

Collegiate and artistic!

Daniel 1:17 As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.
