Magnetic Bookmark for Your Journal Keep your spot in your journal or notebook with this cute monogram initial magnetic bookmark. I was able to make a bunch of monogram bookmarks for myself and friends. They was quick and easy to make because I had a scrapbook paper with letters that I could cut out. If you don't have paper with letters, you can decorate your bookmark with any scrapbook paper, recycled magazine pages, old catalogs, or use stickers, etc.

Total Time: 15 minutes

Supplies:

scrapbook paper
scissors
double sided tape
pen/pencil
gluestick
magnetic strip

Steps:

Cut initial and flower from scrapbook paper.

For the bookmark, use a white strip of construction paper - the width measures the same amount of the initial letter. This measures 8" length by 1 1/4" width.

I folded the strip of paper in half, making the bookmark 4". Draw a triangle and cut out.

I used a piece of leftover magnetic scrap from a magnet I ordered and cut it in half. Inside of the bookmark, I used double sided tape and secured the magnets so once closed both magnets stick to each other.
