Bookmark Directions

Thanks to Mrs. E for the simple giftie idea. I got the directions from her. The one above is the one she made for all of us.

Materials for 1 bookmark:
1 2" X 8.5" piece cardstock (PTI, of course)
1 jumbo paperclip (the regular large one...nothing special)
Embellishments

Directions:

1. Score cardstock at 2", 4.25", and 6.5".
2. Fold in half on 4.25" score.
3. Fold both 2" and 6.5" scores inward, so that you have two shorter pieces touching each other on the inside.
4. Then, put a paperclip on one side. The orientation of the big or small side doesn't really matter.
5. Place a piece of scotch tape over the inside part of the paperclip. 
6. Then, tuck the furthest edge under the exposed side of the clip. The paperclip will not be touching any part of the book, but will be hidden.
7. Then, embellish the outside as you wish.

Believe me. Once you do one, you'll realize how easy it is. It's so difficult to put the directions in words.

If you have any questions, let me know, and I'll do my best to answer.
