Don’t stuff books with unnecessary pieces of paper, candy wrappers or calendars – make a beautiful bookmark with your own hands that will please the eye every time you see it. Moreover, it is very simple! We have prepared for you a selection of master classes on making a wide variety of bookmarks, most of which are done in less than 5-10 minutes, but the crafts look very presentable.
Satin bookmarks, bookmarks-clips, faces of different animals and much more - all this can easily be made with your own hands. You can also use most of the accessories to separate notes. If you are studying, be sure to take a closer look at these lessons and choose something that will be convenient for putting your notebooks in the right places. In addition, many homemade bookmarks fit perfectly into journals or scrapbooking albums. In a word, they are universal - choose what you like.
Satin
This is more of a female option, because such a bookmark should be made from some old pendant or earring that has lost its pair. Well, such an accessory looks very romantic - not masculine.
We will need:
- satin ribbon (15-20 cm);
- accessories for bracelets;
- any pendant;
- pliers and wire cutters.
It is better to lightly melt one end of the satin ribbon, which will be placed in the book, so that it does not fray (observe safety precautions!). We place the second end in the fittings and clamp it. We insert any decoration into the ring where the clasp is placed.
Take a look at the photo: these homemade bookmarks look like a stylish accessory, and not just a ribbon to secure a page.
There is no shame in giving such a bookmark as a gift to someone or using it in creating a notebook if you are involved in such creative work.
Felt
This bookmark will appeal to schoolchildren and simply lovers of cute things. In this example, we will talk about how to make a felt bookmark in the shape of a teddy bear with your own hands, but you can choose any other template (you can look at ours).
We will need:
- felt of different colors;
- foam paper;
- Super glue.
Draw the image or trace it using a stencil. You can cut foam paper with a stationery knife or thin scissors, and you can sew large felt parts with contrasting threads, making large stitches. Small parts need to be glued with superglue (it is very convenient to use a glue gun).
The base of the bookmark is best made from foam paper, as it is soft and flexible: press the strip between two stenciled shapes and glue it together.
Try adding some to your homemade felt bookmarks interesting decor or embroidery - this will make them even more colorful and interesting.
From a postcard
Making a bookmark from a postcard is even easier, because it only takes a couple of minutes to create. If you are used to filling books with postcards or cardboard, take the time to make something more original and cute.
We will need:
- any postcard or glossy cardboard;
- colored paper;
- markers.
We take any template of a triangular or rectangular shape.
We cut it out and make sure that our bookmark has “ears” cut out - this will make it more interesting. Next you need to make a fixing part. If the stencil allows, we cut out the edge along the contour to create the back and front parts. If this doesn’t work, you can glue on “legs” or “wings”.
To decorate the bookmark, use colored paper and draw faces with “hairstyles” with a felt-tip pen. By the way, such bookmarks can be made miniature and used instead of stickers or note dividers.
Magnetic
It is very convenient to use magnetic bookmarks. They do not fly out, but at the same time they fix the pages of books, which sometimes like to turn over on their own during the reading process if you do not hold them with your hand.
We will need:
- magnetic tape;
- any base;
- Super glue.
As the main material, you can choose a postcard, colored cardboard with your applique, velvet cardboard and something else. You can make a magnetic bookmark with your own hands from almost any beautiful material, which is most often used to create this accessory.
Cut two pieces of magnetic tape that will be slightly narrower than the workpiece. We attach the tape with superglue. We do not recommend taking magnets that are too long and wide, since this is still a bookmark - too tight a fixation is not needed.
Decorate your bookmark as desired, change its shape (you can make it openwork).
With button
Bookmarks made from paper clips are very convenient for securing the pages of small books and personal notebooks. They turn out to be very bright and original, and even a child can make them with their own hands.
We will need:
- paperclip of any size;
- button;
- a piece of fabric;
- Super glue.
It's best to use colored paper clips, as they will look more beautiful and won't crease the pages. You can use non-fabric buttons, but bookmarks with patterned fabric look much more interesting. Covering a button is simple: drop a little glue into the center and spread it well over the button so that there are no smudges, and tie it at the back with thread or glue it.
Glue the paperclip by pushing it slightly under the fabric. If you don’t want to use a button, you can glue a piece of cardboard covered with fabric – it will also work out great. Bookmarks with a pearl bead on top also look beautiful.
Children's bookmarks on sticks
If you want to make a bookmark for a child, you can choose almost any image to serve as its base. This is a very simple video master class that even your child can master.
Flip through coloring books, sort through postcards, or just draw fairy tale hero(or any other image) on cardboard. It is most convenient to use culinary skewers as a base, as they are very thin.
By the way, you can color the skewers using acrylic paints. But don't do it with gouache or watercolor - the paint will imprint on the book.
As you can see, making a bookmark with your own hands is a simple task, but very useful. We hope you have found your own version or technique for making this accessory in this collection and are ready to complement it with your own ideas. Well, with colorful bookmarks, reading will become much more interesting, and taking notes will be much more pleasant.

How to make a bookmark for a book: cute cat
First of all, I would like to introduce to your attention the charming cat Bookman, who will help you or your child read any work with pleasure. The bookmark is not at all difficult, you can even make it with children.
For the cat you will need:
- dense synthetic felt
- threads in felt color or contrasting
- rhinestones
- ribbon, lace
- glue for rhinestones
- patterns
- pencil to transfer patterns onto fabric
- for the eyes: light acrylic paint (in my case silver) and two black half-beads
Patterns of a cat (on the pattern you can also mark all the future elements of the cat: rhinestones, bow, etc.):
Cut out two parts from felt and mark a face on one of them with a pencil.
After stitching, the cat should look something like this:
Using acrylic paints, draw Bookman's face. The under-eye circles should be slightly larger than half-beady eyes.
While the painted parts dry, make a bow for the cat. To do this, fold the lace and ribbon as in the photo.
Fold the structure in half and sew in the center.
Pull the center to give the bow an elegant look. You can glue or sew a bead in the center.
Now glue half bead eyes to the cat. On each of them you can put a small highlight for naturalism. Also mark where the rhinestones will be glued.
This is what I got in the end:
Using this pattern (slightly modified) you can make a dog, a mouse, and many others.
How to make a bookmark out of paper
All master classes are clickable, so feel free to click on them to enlarge.
Monster
An unusual bookmark - a monster can be made from an ordinary sheet of paper.
The creation process is simple:
- Take a square and fold it in half diagonally.
- Fold the smaller corners towards the top.
- Fold the edge so that the corner touches the middle of the original fold.
- Fold the narrow corners in again and tuck the overhanging sides inward.
- Now the bookmark can be decorated as you wish: it could be a monster, a smiley face or something else.
By the way, the monster bookmark can be given to the same boys on February 23rd - interesting, useful and not expensive.
Mustache and more
A bookmark-corner can be created much simpler: to do this, cut out a square and a triangle from a sheet of paper with a small margin for gluing. Also cut out the mustache using the photo below.
Coat the triangle with glue along the edges and attach it to the square. Glue the mustache on top. Again, instead of a mustache there can be eyes, a bow, just beautiful patterns or something else.
Pompom bookmark
A very simple, but no less effective option than the previous ones. Take a skein of knitting thread for it, tie it with thread, cut the edges and straighten the threads. Glue the pompom to the paper base.
And again cats
The idea is quite simple: cut out the outlines of cats (or other animals) and lightly wet the paper. And then draw all the patterns that come to mind. Example in the photo
Tip: to prevent bookmarks from losing their original appearance in the future, cover them on both sides with tape or adhesive film sold in office supply stores.
Multifunctional bunnies
In this case it turns out interesting way using the same accessory as a bookmark and as a spool of thread.
Animals cut out of thick paper or cardboard will look beautiful. The most important thing is to make cuts at the location of the front legs.
Printing on a printer
This stylish set of three bookmarks was discovered on Wikihow. It needs to be printed on a color printer. You just need to cut out all the bookmarks, and make a cut in the pig along the white line.
Animal theme
Three unusual forest friends will also make great reading companions if you cut them out of thick cardboard or paper.
The following options are a little easier to cut. Plus, they can even be cut out of fabric using the designs as patterns.
For lovers
The most best recognition in love - Valentine. Why not make it a little more functional by giving it the shape of a bookmark? This is exactly what two series of Valentine's designs will allow you to do.
The first of them depicts beautiful prints with various declarations of love.
And on the second - owls with corresponding wishes. Very popular little animals these days.
Speaking of owls...
I found the most gorgeous selection of owl faces, out of 9 pieces. Feel free to take them as your reading assistants.
Do you like My Little Pony?
If yes, then here are 8 images that you can use to remember the required page with the signs of the main characters.
Totoro
These two images of bookmarks will look wonderful sawn and burnt out of wood, but they will also turn out decent on paper:3 In addition, the sketches can even be printed on a black and white printer, because their color scheme is very close.
Fabric bookmark: back to felt and paper clips
Bow
To bring this wonderful bookmark to life, prepare a paper clip, a piece of multi-colored cotton fabric, glue and scissors.
Take a piece of fabric and fold it as in the photo. Sew the design down the center and attach it to the paperclip using another piece of fabric.
Terribly cute Cheshire
To create one of its two wonderful variations, take purple, raspberry, pink and white felt. You can cut out parts using photos. Beads will become the eyes and pads on the paws, and various ornate patterns can be created using thread embroidery.
Double-sided bookmarks
Or even two-pointed. The convenience of these lies in the fact that the bookmark is visible from both sides and its chances of falling out are much less than that of a regular one. You can make this from felt and thick braid.
And now I turned to a romantic theme - hearts.
Mushrooms
“I grew mushrooms...” - a song from a very peculiar OST for “Barvikha” pops into my head. Remember this series? I didn’t really see him at all, but the song impressed me and stuck firmly in my head.
I also suggest you grow mushrooms, or rather their homemade felt interpretation. To do this, take felt of your favorite color and cut out the corresponding parts, and then sew them together. In the head area you can put a little padding polyester for volume.
Bookman's Friends
All of them were not made by me, but they are very similar to the first purple cat. In the first case, it is a mouse and a hamster. The principle of creation is the same as for Bookman.
This cheerful trio is also created in a similar way. But the muzzles here are separate and are stuffed with padding polyester.
Just recently I wrote about unusual shoelaces and ways to tie them. What am I talking about? Just laces are very suitable as a bookmark.
By the way, good bookmarks come from good materials. From such a set you will definitely get interesting and unusual models even when using the simplest master classes.
Sincerely, Anastasia Skoracheva

Once the glue has dried, the excess felt is trimmed to fit the shape of the dress.
Using a needle and thread, a seam is manually laid along the edge. It has a purely decorative function.
Take a piece of elastic in your hands. Both ends are sewn by hand. The seam is placed on the back of the bookmark.
A rectangular piece 4 cm long and slightly wider than the width of the elastic is cut out of felt. Using glue, he seals the place where the two ends of the elastic are sewn together.
The bookmark is ready! If desired, the ends of the elastic bands can be left unsewn. It is enough to glue one end to the cover of the book, and the other to the craft. It is also better to hide the gluing area with a piece of rectangular felt.

The idea for such a bookmark lies in a children's cartoon about Carlson. The kids will be pleased and have fun seeing her every time.
The paper craft is made with your own hands from white cardboard. The resemblance of a cartoon ghost is drawn with a wide smile and raised arms. The smile is cut right through. It is precisely this that holds the bookmark on the sheet.
DIY woven paper bookmark
The most difficult thing is to make a bookmark out of paper with your own hands using the hand-weaving technique. The simplest one is braiding.
Materials and tools: colored paper, adhesive tape double-sided, scissors, ruler, hole punch, a piece of any string or tape.
Strips 1.5 cm wide in two colors are cut out of paper.
Strips are taken in the amount of 3 pieces. They are glued with adhesive tape as shown in the figure.
On top of all the horizontal strips, another horizontal one is glued.
The weaving process begins directly. The structure unfolds at its only angle upwards. WITH right side on left side bends white stripe.
All the other strips are folded in turn: sometimes on the right side, sometimes on the left. The braid is slowly and surely braided.
At the end of the paper braid there will be ends. They are cut with scissors. The bottom of the bookmark strips is glued together with double-sided adhesive tape.
A hole punch is made in the upper part of the bookmark. The tip of a rope or tape is inserted through it. A knot or bow is tied.
