The Perfect Gift: Yarn Ball Bookmark

The Perfect Gift: Yarn Ball Bookmark
Created by Jane from See Jane Blog . Edited by Amy Christie. Has the weather turned cold where you live? In my neighborhood, temperatures have dropped and my instincts are to spend the day cozied up with a favorite book and favorite mug full of hot cocoa. It was actually my daughter’s clever idea to make yarn pom pom balls in the style of a bookmark. Supplies: -yarn -scissors That’s it! *Before you start, cut an 8-10 inch piece of yarn and a 15 inch piece of yarn and set it aside. To start, hold the end of the yarn in your hand, and begin wrapping the yarn around your fingers – snug but not too tight. Cut the yarn after 90 wraps, and carefully slide it off your fingers. To add the bookmark ‘tail’, use the 15-inch piece of yarn, tie it around the same string you used to tie the 90 loops together, as seen in the pictures above. At this point, your yarn pom pom ball should look like the picture above. Voila! - A gift for a teacher — just add a favorite book! P.S. — We love making gifts!

untitled Candy Jar Craft for leftover Halloween candy using caulk and a little creativity | Tween Crafts - Connecting Mom and Daughter through crafting If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to our mailing list. Thanks for visiting! There are many things you can do with all of the Halloween candy that is inevitably in your house right now. You can donate it. Another idea is to get crafty and gift some of it. I tried two different candy jar ideas using caulk – an owl decorated jar for all you fellow owl-obsessed crafters… …and a cute cupcake jar that looks pretty enough to eat. For the owl candy jar, I used a pint sized mason jar. I laid the mason jar on its side so it was easier to work with. Then I pressed in the two large googly eyes, and started attaching the pine cone pieces on each side for the wing feathers. My daughter’s favorite candy right now is the Kit Kat. For a festive cupcake candy jar design, I used a mini 4 oz mason jar, small tube and seed beads for sprinkles, and a glittery bell for a cherry. What other ideas do you have to use some of your leftover Halloween candy? Happy crafting!

popsicle bookmark with printable I made these popsicle bookmarks with my son's class at the end of the school year to encourage them to continue reading daily during the summer. Since I created the printable for the class, I thought I'd share it here with you, too. These were inspired by the adorable popsicle invitations I often see for summer parties. Start by printing out the bookmark pdf right here. Hit refresh if it doesn't load for you. Color the bookmarks before cutting out so you don't have to worry about staying in the lines. Cut out and glue a craft stick to the back. Happy summer reading! page corner bookmarks This project comes to you at the request of Twitterer @GCcapitalM. I used to believe that a person could never have too many books, or too many bookmarks. Then I moved into an apartment slightly larger than some people’s closets (and much smaller than many people’s garages) and all these beliefs got turned on their naïeve little heads. But what a person can always look for more of is really cool unique bookmarks. Page corner bookmarks are cute, practical and deeply under-represented in the world.* They’re easy to make, easy to customize, and will set you apart from all those same-same flat rectangular bookmarks. If you like this tutorial, here are a couple others that might be up your alley.

Tattle Monster Pysseltajm - Gör egna bokmärken Som jag skrev i det här inlägget funderade jag på att göra en tutorial för att göra egna bokmärken, vilket vissa av er gärna ville se. Så.. här är den! För att göra bokmärken behöver du: Papper i fina färger (Alternativ vita som du sedan kan måla)LimSaxPennaLinjalEventuellt färgpennor Först ska vi göra en mall. Först mäter du upp en kvadrat som är 10 x 10 cm stor. Därefter märker du ut var hälften på varje sida är. Sedan drar du linjer där du gjort markeringarna så att fyra mindre kvadrater bildas. I två av de mindre kvadraterna drar du linjer på diagonalen, som bilden till vänster visar. Sen är det bara att klippa ut mallen. Nu ska mallen användas på ett färgat papper. Sen klipper du efter linjerna. Nu är det dags att vika bokmärken. Sen viker du den andra fliken också. Dags för lim! Sådär! Du kan dekorera ditt bokmärke precis som du vill! Sedan klippte jag ut dem och målade dit pupiller. Limma! Tadaa! Nu är det bara att hänga det över kanten på boksidor. Lycka till! Sofia
