This is such a cute idea and will help kids to want to read more!! I remember I made a cross stitch bookmark for a friend of mine once and I think she still has it today!
Those look great and don’t require many materials! I can’t wait to try this with my kids.
Aww these are super cute! I can never find a bookmark when I need one. Guess I should try making my own.
These are so fun! My son loves them!
This will help the kids who want to read more. I also wants to try this.
That monster corner bookmark is just too cute! Might have to do it with my students this week!
It’s super nice when you can make something usually so basic to be so creative. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Not a lot of supplies needed. These are so adorable and also a good way to encourage creativity in children.
Wow!! These are super cute and definitely worth a try!! Good one Suja!!
such a cute masterpiece. Kids would love to do this on their own. Diy’s are one of my hobby and I think this so simple to follow.
Love this idea! My kids are celebrating Dr. Seuss all next week. I think we will make some for each kid in their class! It will be a great addition.
Those would be great for my little sister, but they’re sooo cute I think I might need to make some for myself aswell!
What a great idea to make reading more fun for kids. The design ideas are endless. These would be a great craft idea with my grandchildren who are just beginning to read. thanks
Looks like a really great way to get kids to want to read.
These are so cute and my son would definitely like them. Great idea.
Some really easy and great tips for making bookmarks there, Sindhuja. I admit I have never been that great in the creativity field and it always amazes me to watch something cute and handy stuff being created from everyday household stuff!
Oh I so love this idea of diy bookmark! I love reading and I always buy bookmark because it gets lost.
What a great idea! I love the kitty ones. Although, if it were up to the boys, they’d go with the pups. 🙂
How cute are your bookmarks. I use a paperclip but never thought about adding a flower or button onto it. Super cute, creative and fun.
These bookmarks are so cute! I love them. I also love DIYs
These are too cute! My son would love to make these.
