Holiday DIY :: Ribbon Bookmarks - part 1

I love Christmas and I love reading so for me this is a gift that I couldn't resist making extras of so I could have a few myself!

This craft is soooo easy that truly anyone can do it!!

Supplies:
Ribbon
Stickers - 2 identical ones*
Scissors

*I used puffy snowflake stickers that I bought at Michael's Crafts.

Instructions:
Step 1 :: Select a ribbon of your choice. Almost any type of ribbon will work as long as it's flat.

Step 2 :: Measure desired length and cut. If you read mostly paper backs cut your ribbon shorter than if you lean towards hardcovers. When cutting the tail, fold the end of the ribbon in half lengthwise and holding the scissors at an angle with scissor tips facing opposite the end of the ribbon - snip! This creates the lovely "v" end giving your tail a finished look.

Step 3 :: Using the other end of the ribbon, center one of your stickers on the ribbon and press to adhere. Flip ribbon and apply identical 2nd sticker. Be careful to match up stickers.

That's it! If desired you could add a book to make this gift complete!

Tomorrow I'll be sharing another nifty bookmark craft with one of my favorite embellishments: Twinkle Type!

Happy Tuesday!
