Simple Bookmark

RE: Simple Bookmark Post by matjat (40) | (07/11/2008) Contact I agree, a paper clip works really well; but when I'm reading a paperback I always use a rubber band. Just stretch the rubber band over the left or right part of the book on whatever page you're on. I hope you understand what I mean. It doesn't mark the pages and you don't have to worry about the bookmark or paper clip falling out. I've been doing this for about 20 years. Try it! :-) Margaret from Denton, Texas Report Spam or Abuse RE: Simple Bookmark Post By Bette (Guest Post) (07/10/2008) I used to use a paperclip too but I didn't like the fact that they left indentations on all the pages. Now I have started cutting both corners off of envelopes I get in the mail and then use the triangle on the corner of the page I am on.

Cut off the front picture of old greeting cards. Cut them into bookmark width strips. These are very colorful. It doesn't matter if there are words on the front. Not enough of the letters will show to spell a message. Cut construction paper or any attractive heavy weight paper into strips. Use a small stamp to stamp a design at the top of each bookmark. There are more complicated bookmarks to make, but we let the children make those as library projects. The above bookmarks can be made quickly and in quantity, particularly if you happen to have a paper cutter. Report Spam or Abuse
