1. Select the paper you want. Select a cardboard to support your bookmark, and then paste another pattern or image on it. You can use other paper to collage, or you can choose multiple patterns at will.
2. Paper cutting. Bookmarks can be as big as you like. Cut the cardboard into small and inconspicuous bookmarks only 2.5 mm long, or choose to make traditional bookmarks 5 to 7.5 mm wide. Don't make the bookmark longer than 15 cm, or the bookmark will protrude from the top or bottom of the book.
Step 3 add details. Use screened decorative paper or pattern, cut it out and stick it on the cardboard. You can paste a textured paper or a pattern cut from a magazine on the whole card paper to add style to your handmade works. Or write your favorite poem.
4. Seal the bookmark. In order to prevent the bookmark from being worn or damaged, a protective sleeve can be added to the bookmark. If possible, plastic sleeves can be used for lamination.
5. Make the final changes. Punch a hole at the top of the bookmark with a punch. Cut the ribbon of 15 into 20cm, and then fold it in half. Pass one end of the circle through the hole in the bookmark, then pass the tail of the other end through the circle and tighten it.

Bookmarks are used to remember pages. Bookmarks are used to indicate the title of a book. Generally, they are posted on the upper left corner of the cover of ancient books, and generally indicate where to read and record the reading progress. With the development of the Internet age, e-books which record the reading progress, experience and reading position have emerged.
The ancient scrolls brought bookmarks. In order to distinguish the contents of books and make them easy to read, the ancients tied a small card at one end of the shaft with the title and the number of volumes written on it, which is the embryonic form of bookmarks.
The word appeared in the Tang Dynasty, such as Du Fu's poem entitled "Big Brother Bai lives on the wall": "The pen rack is wet by the window rain, and the bookmarks are reflected." At that time, "bookmarks" were usually made of bamboo pieces, and tasters also made them of ivory. After the Song Dynasty, the bookmark style was basically finalized, and it has basically become like this. You can use rice paper, cardboard or waterproof oil painting paper as bookmarks. Not only paper can be used as a bookmark, but other materials can also be used as bookmarks.
