Want to give Mom, randma, or a special Aunt a
handmade gift this Mother’s Day that they can
enjoy every day
As I was brainstorming fun ideas for this upcoming
holiday, I thought about the activities that I like to do
as a Mom when I have some downtime.
One of those is sitting down to read a book either
with my kids or by myself. This got me thinking that
it would be fun to have a bookmark that was made
and decorated by one of my children. This idea was
then transformed into a durable bookmark card made
from cardboard and duct tape.
Not only do I now have a keepsake that I can open
up anytime to read a special note, but I can use it
over and over again.
If you would also like to create this Mother’s Day
bookmark with your family, this is what you will need.
- Duct tape with a design or color
- Cereal box
- Yarn
- Round adhesive elcro
- Safety scissors
- Pencil
- Ruler
- Permanent markers
