Craft Supplies:
To get started, gather the following materials. Most of these can be found at home or purchased affordably at a craft store:
- Flower Bookmark Printable – on box.com
- White Cardstock Paper
- Scissors
- Washable Ink Pad
- Baby Wipes
- Crayons, Markers or Coloring Pencils
- Clear Contact Paper
- Single Hole Punch
Directions:
Follow these easy steps to make your own thumbprint flower bookmark:
- First print out the provided file from the supply list. One printable makes THREE flower bookmarks at a time. Please only use our file for personal use.
- Use scissors {or a paper trimmer} to trim out each bookmark design.
- Next up – open your ink pad up.
- Place your thumb on the ink pad, then on one of the bookmarks, to start filling in the flower design.
- Repeat the thumbprint step till the flower petals are filled in, on each bookmark.
- Use baby wipes to remove excess ink off of your fingers before washing hands completely at the sink. This step is VERY important so you don’t accidentally get extra ink or oil on the bookmarks.
- Once done washing your hands, go ahead and color in any remaining portions of the flower design. You can use crayons, markers etc.
- Follow that up by adding other embellishments you see fit.
- Then the last step is to “seal” the bookmark by placing it between two pieces of clear contact paper.
- Finally, trim around the edges and hole punch a hole at the top for some ribbon. Then gift away your beautiful thumbprint flower bookmark to that special someone!
