Hi all! I saw these great magnetic bookmarks this weekend at the iCopic blog and I wanted to try making my own. Here's one of my finished ones featuring Stamp It - A Map. Scroll down to find out how to make three bookmarks from two 12"x12" sheets of paper.
You'll need two 12"x12" pieces of paper - one cardstock and one decorative paper. First, cut your cardstock into three 4" wide strips. Score each strip at 2", 6" and 10" as shown below.
Now, you'll need to glue your magnets at the inside of the 2" and 10" scored lines. Be sure to check that your magnets stick together before they're glued down. Magnets have polarity and one side may repel the other magnet if the gluing isn't done with care. Add glue around the 2" flaps. Seal the flaps around the magnets. You've completed the inside.
To decorate the outside, cut 6 3 3/4" x 3 3/4" squares of your decorative paper. Center on each side of the bookmark and adhere. This will give a small cardstock border around your decorative paper. Decorate to your heart's content. You'll have three bookmarks when you're done.
Here's my second bookmark with Hummingbird Wings.
I decorated the reverse side of this bookmark as well.
Here's my third bookmark featuring Bird Cage by Yi Hua Law.
I decorated the reverse side in a similar manner.
I'd like to enter these bookmarks in the following challenges:
1. Do You Stack Up #61 - things with wings
2. Paperplay #9 - something old (flowers and gems), something new (stamps, paper)
3. Allsorts #144 - spread your wings
4. The Crafty Pad #160 - share the good news
