Some people bend the corner of a book’s page to mark where they are (this is called dog-earing a book). Librarians don’t like having their books dog-eared!
You can avoid annoying your librarian by making a simple bookmark from the corner of an old envelope. You can adapt this craft to make other bookmarks using different pictures, including: flowers, butterflies, cats, or any other image you like.
- An old envelope (junk mail)
- Scissors
- Markers or crayons
Instructions
Cut the corner off a clean edge of the envelope. It should be about 1 to 2 inches wide.
Draw a dog’s face on the cut-off corner. Position the corner at the top. Then, using a marker, draw two dots for eyes and a larger dot for the nose.
Then draw two half circles under the nose to make the mouth.
Draw two droopy ears on the sides.
Color the ears. You now have a cute bookmark!
