Washi Tape Bookmarks

July 22, 2013

I can not believe that July is almost over and the stores are filling up with back to school merchandise.  I always enjoyed back to school time because you get new clothes and notebooks and shoes.  You learn a new schedule and meet up with your old friends.  I wish I had some washi tape when I was in school so that I could make these washi tape bookmarks.  They are such an easy homemade craft that are oh so cute!  Perfect for back to school too!

 
Hey there Grant Life readers! It’s Michaela from Covered in Mod Podge again. I’m here today to share with you a super quick little craft- Washi Tape Bookmarks!
 
 
Like most of us in blog-land, I love Washi Tape. Its versatile, adorable, and easy to work with. So, grab your favorite Washi Tape, some paperclips, and get to work!
 
 
Start out by cutting a two inch long strip of tape. Then, thread it through the top of your paperclip.
 
 
Fold the tape towards itself bringing the sticky sides together. You’ll have to scrunch up the tape at the top of the paperclip to make everything fit well.
 
 
Finally, trim the top of your tape into a cute little shape. Then you’re done. Two minutes tops!
 
 
Since I’m working on my Master’s in Social Work, I’m always knee deep into at least four different books. I love using paperclips as bookmarks because it allows me to mark the actual paragraph that I’m on {rather than just the page}.
 
 
Beyond making a little army of these things for yourself, make a bunch to give as gifts. These are perfect for little “Thank You,” “Hi,” or even teacher gifts. Add a cute tag and you’re set. A great present made with materials on hand…my favorite kind!
 
I’d love to see the Washi Tape Bookmarks you make! You can email me pictures at coveredinmodpodge {at} gmail {dot} com!
