Corner Book Marker


 Hi everyone its Erin Here 
i'm here to show you how to make a Corner Book Marker 

First you need to have the following items 
Card-stock
paper 
craft knife 
craft punch 
Ribbon 
Ruler 
double sided tape
   
Starting with a piece of card-stock measuring at 
4" x 4" or 10cm x 10 cm
and another measuring in at 
2 - 3/4" x 2 - 3/4 " or 7cm x 7cm 



Mark center of three side's out of four  


score along the lines to meet at the middle


on either side 
so it looks like this 


Fold the flaps over to give you a winged look like this 


go back to the smaller square 2 - 3/4" x 2 - 3/4" 
and cut it diagonally
across as shown  


 you should have something like this ???


back the smaller cut off with some backing paper 
like so ...


this is what i am using to make it all up 
couple strips of backing paper to co on the front and back 
ribbon to make a bow ( i did use another ribbon after i took this picture ) 


face the bookmark down so the flap's are facing up over 
add one half of the smaller square cut's 
from the 2 - 3/4" x 2 - 3/4"


Add the other half to the front of the bookmarker 
like so ... 


Add your ribbon first then 
using double sided tape 
stick your strip of backing paper to your bookmarker


Choose and colour your image 
then cut it a little smaller then the bookmark


Tie the ribbon into a bow 
i then stuck the image to another circle 
and using other die cuts to make it a little bit more special 


and here she is sitting in her corner 


Hope this helps you 
if you need any help please just give me a nudge 

Hugs Erin
