Fun Study Buddies Scrapbooking Collection Bookmarks

Do you keep bookmarks handy when you’re reading a book? My husband reads a lot and keeps plenty of bookmarks laying around. Me? I use whatever is handy. Torn pieces of paper, store receipts, post-it-notes …. even unused Kleenex tissues – anything flat enough to mark my space in whatever book I’m reading.

School kids could probably use a book mark or two to keep track of where they are in their textbooks. Here are a few easy peasy bookmarks to create for your student. Better yet,  make it a fun project for the kids to create for themselves.

Here’s what you’ll need to create these bookmarks:

• Study Buddies Paper Pack
• Study Buddies Slide-In Pack
• Study Buddies Embellishments
• Study Buddies Stickers
• Gold ABC/123 Stickers
• 12-Inch Straight Trimmer
• Personal Trimmer
• Two Way Corner Rounder
• Tape Runner and Foam Squares
• Black pen
• Narrow ribbon
