Tutorial - How to Crochet a Flower Bookmark

A cute crochet flower bookmark for spring

Tutorial at The Chilly Dog Blog

"I don't get to read as much as I'd like because I'm usually too busy crafting. However right now I'm finishing up the book "Flight Behavior" by Barbara Kingsolver. Kingsolver is one of my favorite authors and once again, has not let me down with this beautiful story. Of course a good book deserves a beautiful bookmark. Since spring is in the air, it only seemed appropriate to make a flower. This pattern can easily be completed in an evening and would make a thoughtful birthday or Mother's Day, or even bridal shower favors".... Read more

Tutorial - Make a Fabric Embroidered Bookmark

Simple bookmarks are perfect for teaching children to embroider

Tutorial at Adventures of a DIY Mom

"My youngest daughter embroidered these fabric bookmarks for her siblings for Christmas this year. She's only five. I am super impressed with her attention to detail and the fact that she stuck with it until they were done. I helped her knot the thread and tie it off, but she did all of the embroidery herself. We started at the beginning of November and pulled them out every few days and she would do a little bit or a lot depending on her mood. I think one of the reasons that this was enjoyable for her was that I tried not to rush her. We started in plenty of time and I let her quit when she was tired of doing it".... Read more

Tutorial - How to Make a Scratch n' Sniff Bookmark

Make scented bookmarks with free Popsicle printables

Tutorial at Spark & Chemistry Blog

"Ahhh, scratch n' sniff stickers.  I remember as a kid, trying to be super good at school just to get one.  They would smell of artificial cherry, strawberry, and lemon with nothing but a simple scratch to activate the smell.  I don't know how they make those, but I do know that whenever I open up a box of cake batter, or powdered gelatin, I get the same smell.  So in having this nostalgic moment, I decided to create a scratch n' sniff DIY, simple enough for little hands.  Instead of stickers, I decided to make bookmarks.  I mean, who wouldn't want to open up their favorite novel and smell chocolate, or strawberry flavor? :)  So, if you want to go back in time with me and make scented bookmarks, follow along"....

Tutorial - How to Make a Paperback Book Cover

Book Cover Tutorial at Make it Easy Crafts Blog

"Summer is the time for lazy days relaxing on the beach or by a pool.  Most people, like me, like to take some reading material with them.  Actually I take my reading material with me at all times.  I have books on my iphone, ipad and kindle.  Taking those things to the beach, though, is not something I like to do.  Sand and water is not exactly good for electronics.  So I go back to bringing a good old page-turner—a real book.  This easy, no sew, book carrier has a bookmark built right in so you will never lose your place.  My book, is 5" x 8" one of the larger paperback that are so popular today"....
