Awesome Summer Craft

The dog days of summer truly are upon us......
and with the kids still outta school,
folks are looking for things to keep the little hands occupied.

I came up with a simple, fun craft that has purpose. Bookmarks!! 

I have step by step instructions on
how the bookmark was created.

Firstly, I gathered up an embossing folder and
a package of bookmarks by Canvas Corp. 
I embossed 2 bookmarks. 

 
I began by painting the bookmark with Inka Gold.
(a dab of water goes along way)

I then dried the bookmarks.

Next, I adhered the bookmarks together.

I then buffed the bookmark to bring up 
the amazing sheen of the Inka Gold. 

I pulled out some supplies from
the Flora Doodle Collection and
some ribbon. 

Using a Crop a Dile, I punched a 
hole in the top of the bookmark. 
I cut (2) pieces of 18" ribbon. 

I threaded the ribbon through the hole.

To decorate the face of the bookmark,
I began by applying (2) Flora Doodle Velvet Butterflies.

I then chose (2) each of the 
Flora Doodle Small Fabric Daisies. 

I then adhered matching Flora Doodle Daises
to each side of the ribbon end. 

I then wrote a saying encouraging reading
on a strip of white paper. 

Cutting the verbage to size, I adhered 
to the face of the bookmark. 

I hope I have inspired you to pull out some of your
supplies and to create a "creative" memory with your
children this summer!!
