Frequently asked questions
Bunny

Who else can do a good job at reminding you the last page you read than a sassy bunny? Using card stock and a corner of an envelope, you can make this fun bookmark faster than you can say "carrot."
Ribbon

If you prefer a bookmark that will stay in place, using elastic is a brilliant idea. You can't, however, use elastic as is; make your DIY bookmarks look extra pretty! You can do this by sewing ribbon or pretty fabric onto the elastic.
Magnetic

Here is a bookmark that will not fly off the book accidentally. To make this, you will need paper and self-adhesive magnets. Martha Stewart shows us a shirt and tie design but you can go for other illustrations, too.

This is my favorite from this list of DIY bookmarks. Why? Because the heart design is adorable and I love having reasons to play with patterned paper. Design variation: use fabric or doodle on the hearts. You can also make this bookmark out of felt or faux leather.

Got chipboard lying around in your home? You can exile it to a forgotten corner in your garage or you can use it to make bookmarks as pretty as these.

If you happen to collect pretty charms, you can devise a way to enjoy them while reading. Attach said charms to velvet ribbon using clamps and rings, and start using them as bookmarks.
