How To Make a Father's Day Bookmark Gift

How To Make A Father's Day Bookmark

I created another fun, inexpensive gift for Father's Day (which is just around the corner!). 
This is a simple, easy-to-make project that's quick and personalized...especially if your 'Daddy' likes to read! 

Here's a step-by-step guide to make a cute, meaningful gift for this upcoming special day, or any day for that matter.

Materials Needed

• String
• Clear Packing Tape
• Photo
• Scissors / Blade

1. Print a photo of your child (preferably one of them reaching up towards the sky).

2. Carefully cut around your child in the photograph, removing all of the background:

3. Cut 2 pieces of clear tape and put them on the front and back of the photo cutout (you may need extra for anything the tape couldn't cover). Press out any air bubbles, and then cut around the edges of your photo. If you have access to a laminating machine, consider yourself lucky!

4. Punch a hole at the top of your photo cutout, I used a kitchen knife!

5. Using your string, make a bookmark tassel. The loop handle should be about 3 - 5 inches long.
      (You may have to search Google for a how-to tutorial, it's pretty easy.)

6. Thread the end of the bookmark tassel through the hole, coming from the back of the photo and out
through the front. Put the tassel through the loop and tighten.

Voila!

Happy Father's Day!
