How to make a beautiful and simple bookmark? If you want to make manual bookmarks, you can choose vein bookmarks. Veins bookmarks is a bookmark made by selecting beautiful leaves, removing mesophyll by chemical treatment, keeping intact veins and dyeing.
Production method:
1, select the blade. Choose leaves with thick veins. Generally evergreen woody plants are better. Such as osmanthus leaves, heather leaves, papaya leaves, eucalyptus branches and leaves, tea and so on. Choose leaves in late summer or autumn when they are fully mature and begin to age.
2. Boil the leaves with lye. Alkaline solution configuration: based on 1 liter of water, sodium carbonate (baking soda) 70g, sodium hydroxide 50g (the above two drugs and chemicals are available in stores), or lime water is used instead of alkali solution. Boil the prepared lye in an enamel cup or casserole, then put it in a proper amount of washed leaves, and gently stir the leaves with chopsticks to prevent the leaves from overlapping and heat them evenly. Cook for about 5 minutes. After the leaves turn black, take a leaf and put it in a plastic basin filled with clear water. Check the corrosion and easy peeling of mesophyll. If it is easy to separate, take all the leaves out and put them in a plastic basin filled with clear water, and then separate the mesophyll and veins one by one.

3. Remove the mesophyll. Put the cooked leaves on the palm of your hand or a glass plate, gently rub them with the smooth part of the old toothbrush handle to wipe off the corroded mesophyll, then rinse them under the tap and continue rubbing until the mesophyll is completely removed.
4. Bleach blood vessels. Bleaching the scrubbed veins in bleaching powder solution, taking them out, washing them with clear water, putting them into old books and newspapers, absorbing moisture, and taking them out as veins bookmarks.
5. Dye, draw and write. Dye your favorite color with red and blue ink or other dyes, or draw and write on it, and finally tie it with silk thread.
Second, the production method of pasting bookmarks
Manual bookmarking is actually very simple. First of all, prepare the following materials: 1, flowers such as peach blossom and winter jasmine, or small animals such as butterflies and moths; 2, scotch tape, tweezers, ribbons, cardboard, old newspapers.
Production method: carefully tear off the petals, stamens or wings and tentacles of butterflies with tweezers, put them on cardboard, arrange the position according to your own design, and stretch the petals or wings. Fix it on paper with transparent tape, cover it with several layers of old newspapers, add glass, dehydrate and press dry. When the water is dry, cut the cardboard into your favorite shape, such as heart, triangle or fan, and finally tie a ribbon to make a beautiful bookmark.
Third, the method of making printed bookmarks
Material preparation: Ginkgo biloba leaves, Metasequoia glyptostroboides branches, tufted plants or small animals such as longicorn beetles and locusts; Printing paper, developer, fixing solution, transparent tape, color tape, transparent adhesive.
How to make it: Take a piece of transparent film and cut it into a rectangle slightly longer than the bookmark. Trim and arrange the dried plant leaves and branches on the film, and then fix them with transparent tape cut into thin strips. For moths and butterflies, just take off their wings, splice them together and stick them with tape. Small animals, such as locusts, had better take out their internal organs with a syringe and fix them on a film.
Cut the No.2 or No.3 printing paper with the same size as the film in the darkroom (turn on the red light), put the film with the specimen on the printing paper, and press it with clean glass sheets up and down. Pay attention to the exposure for about 10 second (light intensity shortens the time), immediately turn off the lights and put the printing paper into the developer. After a clear image appears on photographic paper, fix it in fixing solution for 10 minute. Then wash it with clear water, dry it, trim it, and finally color it with transparent watercolor and tie it with ribbon to make a bookmark printed with animal and plant images.
Four. Bookmarks for portrait time movies
Material preparation: a pot of geranium, portrait negative, alcohol, iodine, black paper and ribbon.
Production method: put geranium in the dark and avoid light day and night. On the third day, take out the flowerpot, put the portrait negative on the front of a complete geranium leaf, hold the back with a piece of black hard paper, and clamp the four corners with clips to make the negative close to the leaf. Then move the geranium to the sun, let the one with the negative face the sun for two hours, and then cut the leaves with the negative from the petiole.
Remove the negative and black paper from the leaves, soak the leaves in alcohol and boil them. Because chlorophyll in the leaves is dissolved by alcohol, the leaves turn yellow and white. Then take out the leaves, wash them with water, and then drop diluted iodine. Because starch is unevenly distributed on the leaves, iodine changes chemically when it meets, so the leaves also show different colors, thus printing people on the leaves. Finally, color the ribbon and tie it, and it becomes a wonderful portrait leaf bookmark.
