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
