INSTRUCTIONS:
- Follow the two links below to download the bookmark
images.
-
Print the bookmark images on
thick Photo paper. (For the best image quality, adjust
your printer settings to "color photo", if necessary.)
-
Using scissors or a paper
cutter, neatly cut around the edges of each image.
-
Run a bead of glue down the
center of the bookmarks' unprinted sides. (You won't
need a lot of glue -- just enough to keep them from
sliding.) Match the fronts with the corresponding
backs, pressing firmly together. If necessary, trim
any rough edges. Set bookmarks aside
until the glue has dried completely!
-
Laminate the bookmarks by
following the directions on the package of self-laminating
sheets. Use a ruler and/or a popsicle stick to press
out as many air bubbles as possible.
-
Cut out the bookmarks leaving
at least 1/8" of lamination around the edges. Smooth out any
remaining air bubbles (a popsicle stick works great on these
smaller areas.)
-
If desired, punch a hole at
the top of each bookmark and tie on a ribbon or tassel.
