Lovebug Bookmark Craft:
I don’t know about you, but I’m at the point in my life where I need to keep things simple.
I love that these Bookmarks are simple, yet they look like you’ve spent a lot of time on them. They are easy enough for the kids to make or for you to make with the kid’s help.
For this bookmark craft, you’ll need:
- Mini clothespins
- Tissue paper – cut into (about) 3 x 3 in. squares – you can purchase these pre-cut! (Another short cut)
- Google eyes
- Self-adhesive hearts
- Glue sticks – Tacky Craft Glue
- Large and/or small craft sticks
- Markers, Paint pens, Puffy Paint and/or ribbon to personalize the craft sticks with
Instructions:
- Fold the tissue paper square in half and then in half again
- Push it into the mouth of the clothespin
- Stick the heart onto the end of the clothespin, where the clothespin opens
- Using glue, add the eyes
- Use the paint or marker to write Valentine sayings on the craft sticks – like: – Text Me, U R Cool, LOL, BFF, Soul Mate, Be Mine, XOXO, or any personal message you like
- Another option is to glue some ribbon on the front of the craft stick like I did on the one with hearts
- If you used paint, let that dry…
- Clamp the clothespin onto the craft stick
- *You can use glue to secure it or leave it alone – It’s your preference
