You can’t have too many bookmarks.
While I don’t believe that dog-earing books is the crime of the century, I do like bookmarks. I have a large collection and often add to it. So when I found this video for making Harry Potter house-themed bookmarks, I had to try it out.
This is truly an easy way to make neat looking bookmarks. You don’t have to do them in Hogwarts colors. I used paper I had on hand, and they look good. (Okay, they look a little ragged because I desperately need a new Creative Memories paper cutter blade and I keep forgetting to get one.)
The next time I make these, I’ll use a bit of stick glue on the paper each time I fold it. It’s not necessary, but it would strengthen the braid.
Try this with the kids in your life. It’s so easy that they can make one for each of their friends, or for every reader they know. I made some for my book-loving family.
Here is the video.
