Instructions

    • 1

    • 2

      Trace the stencil on one sheet of card stock, then cut it out.

    • 3

      Cut the other color of card stock to 2" by 6" in size.

    • 4

      Glue or Mod Podge the cat onto the bookmark.

    • 5

      Draw or paint designs or facial features on the bookmark. You can add someone's name to personalize it. Add glitter, sequins, or even paste cut-out Egyptian pictures for a unique design. Alternatively, you may leave the cat plain and move on to the next step.

    • 6

      Stick the bookmark into a laminating pouch and smooth it out. Trim laminate excess off the edges of the bookmark. If you wish to decorate the cat, leave this step until last.

    • 7

      To attach a tassel, just punch a hole at the top of the bookmark through the laminate and card stock. Loop the tassel through the hole.

Tips & Warnings

  • To enjoy this craft with kids, cut out the cats ahead of time if needed. Allow the kids to decorate with whatever they like--stick-on eyes, sequins, glitter glue, feathers, dried flowers, or even finger paint.
