DIY : Vintage Bookmark

They don’t call it vintage for no reason. DIYs are lovely and having what it takes to do it yourself makes you the genius. So I came across this one few weeks back.  I haven’t tried my hands on this yet, but I hope to do so soon

Try your hands on this vintage bookmark, I bet you would want to show off every book you are reading just because of it. Better still, yours could be a retro or modern bookmark.

HERE IS HOW TO GET IT DONE.

WHAT YOU NEED:

• Vintage buttons (Consider selecting a few that have a similar color palette, or mix it up and go for an eclectic look!)
• Paper clips

• Hot glue gun
• Felt
• Scissors

HOW TO :

Cut felt into squares slightly larger than the size of your button.

For buttons with a shank, thread the button onto the paper clip until it’s sitting at the top of the loop.  For buttons without a shank, simply place the paper clip where you’d like it to lay. Add a thin coat of hot glue to the back of the button + paperclip, and place your felt square on the glue. Hold until it sets.

Trim the felt from around the edges of the button, until the felt is slightly smaller than the size of the button – This will make it so the felt can’t be seen from the front.

Finally, use your button bookmarks to hold your place! In addition to books, these are also perfect for marking your page in notebooks, planners, and binders.

Looking forward to seeing your very own vintage bookmark.
