Scrapbooking Crafts-Make this Personalized Book Marker Using Easy to Find Wrapping or Scrapbooking Paper

"

Are you or someone you know an avid reader?  Try making a personalized custom book marker so you’ll never lose your place.  You can make several of these in no time at all by cardboard and antiqued looking wrapping paper.  What a quick way to make art with decorative scrap paper and your own personalized 3-D foam letter, as you’ll find out by reading below.

Start by selecting a scrap cut of wrapping paper that resembles time gone by.  If you don’t have any left over wrapping paper, you can find some very inexpensive paper at your local craft store.  For this project an antiqued looking sports theme was used in a flat end. (tan, brown, black and olive)  By scissors cut the wrapping paper in to two 8”H x 2”W strips. Next, cut one cut of thin scrap cardboard in to an 8”H x 2”W cut to match in size the two strips of paper you’ve already cut and set aside. Spray Artist Adhesive to one side of the cardboard and apply one of the wrapped paper strips to it, smooth out any wrinkles and allocate time to dry, approx. 5 minutes. Next, flip the quickly to be finished custom book marker over and repeat the same process on the other side.  Now, to add the personalizing upset to your project, add a 3-d foam letter sticker for scrapbooking to the adjoin side of your marker. For this project we used a cream colored S letter, 1.5” x 1.5”.

That’s all there is to it.  A nice simple craft, and a special and personalized custom book marker. A fantastic classroom craft for teachers, or just the rest of us everyday home crafters.
