A non-standard homemade bookmark will make the process of reading a textbook much more enjoyable. Share this bookmark with your child to stimulate learning and creativity.
Wide ribbon and paperclip bookmarks
a satin or cotton ribbon about 1 cm wide (patterned braid is also suitable), paper clips, sewing thread in the color of the ribbon, a needle and scissors, hot glue.
1. Fold the ribbon to form a bow, but do not tie it. Pull the middle of the bow with thread (see photo below).
2. Use a drop of hot glue to secure the bow to a paper clip.
3. Cut a narrow strip from the tape to cover the thread holding the bow (place the strip over the paper clip). The strip must be secured with glue or a pair of blind stitches.
Narrow tape and paperclip bookmark
narrow satin ribbon (several colors), paper clips, scissors.
1. Cut pieces at least 10-12 cm long from ribbons of several colors.
2. Take two or three pieces of ribbons of different colors and tie them with a bow on a paper clip.
If your child still does not know how to tie a bow, laying out a paper clip and a narrow ribbon can be made easier: take 3-5 pieces of narrow multi-colored ribbons, fold each piece in half and fasten them to a paper clip, passing the free ends of the ribbons through the resulting loop, just as usual attach the tassels to the shawl (see photo below).
