How to Make a Snowflake Bookmark

Do you remember making paper snowflakes in elementary school? It was so exciting cutting wildly into folder paper, then unfolding it to discover what amazing snowflake you had created. A snowflake bookmark is just as exciting, but with a new twist. You'll use a base bookmark and add your own snowflakes to it.

Things You'll Need

  • Card stock/poster board
  • White paper or tissue paper
  • Ruler
  • Pencil
  • Scissors
  • Newspaper
  • Mod Podge
  • Foam brush or small paint brush
  • Glitter (optional)
  • Laminating pouches (optional)

Instructions

    • 1

      Cut the card stock or poster board to 6 inches by 2 inches to create a base for your bookmark.

    • 2

      Cut snowflakes out of contrasting paper with either a snowflake punch or by hand. By hand: fold a small square in half twice, then trim designs in between to two folded sides, then open.

    • 3

      Spread the newspaper to protect your work area from Mod Podge.

    • 4

      Arrange the snowflakes into the approximate order you'd like them on your bookmark.

    • 5

      Coat the base bookmark with a thin layer of Mod Podge, then stick the snowflakes to it. If you created snowflakes using tissue paper, try overlapping them to created a pretty look.

    • 6

      Paint a layer of Mod Podge over the whole surface of the bookmark, and then apply glitter if you like. If you use glitter, you may want to apply a third layer of Mod Podge over it.

Tips & Warnings

  • Instead of a top coat of Mod Podge, you can use a laminating pouch to give your bookmark a more professional look. Laminating pouches are also good for keeping glitter from flaking off.

  • You can use a snowflake shaped craft punch to create small snowflakes for your bookmark.
