Quick HOW TO: Make a photo bookmark

Well hey hey! 

This weeks creative tutorial is: How to make a photo bookmark!

This is a very simple way to make a book mark from one of your photographs or a photo that you like! I’ve used my own photography for this. 

You will need:

• Your favorite photograph (cropped so its long) 
• Glue
• Thick cardboard, I’ve used mount board
• Stanley knife and metal ruler (mine has a metal edge)
• Hole punch
• Some pretty string or ribbon of your choice. 

So heres what to do:

1. Glue your photograph onto the card, I wanted a black side so I stuck the photograph onto the white side. 
2. Using the Stanley knife and metal ruler (dont use plastic as the knife may cut through it), carefully cut around the photograph. If the cardboard is thick, you may need cut the lines a few times. 
3. Now you should have the photograph nicely glued and cut onto the cardboard! So now using a hole punch, make a hole in the top on the photograph. 
4. Now just tie some string or ribbon through the hole you've made and your done!

These bookmarks are great for presents or to sell at craft fairs! You could even personalize them with a photograph of you and your friends and give it as a present.
