Who doesn't like a project thats quick and easy? Well this one was really quick and i'm impressed with how they have turned out. I did have images of these looking like Lili had made it at school when i decided to make some coaster calendars and bookmarks but fear not they seem to have come out well!.
All i did was stick roller glue all around a coaster then placed the coaster on a sheet of patterned card glue side down. Then cut around the card with a craft knife. Turned over and did the same for the other side. Then stuck on a few embellishments and a mini calendar. Popped it in self seal cello bag and made a topper from card. Wrote on the topper and embellished. Give it a go they really only take 10 minutes to do.
These bookmarks are also super easy. Take a wooden lolly stick. I bought a pack of about 50 coloured ones for £1.99 from the Range. Stick on your choice of topper with glue. I used flower cut outs and popped a brad through the centre. You can buy packs of these flowers (again from the Range) or use pretty much anything you want. Pop in a cello bag and make a header out of co-ordinated card folded over in half and write on the label.
Love the bookmarks

These are great. I got a big stash of beermats last week to make little calendars and post it note holders with. Very MSE of me eh!!
ReplyDeleteGreat makes - really like the bookmarks. Jaqui x
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute idea with the bookmarks! I bought a pack of those wooden sticks, not yet knowing what i'm going to do with them, but now i have at least one idea! :) Mine aren't coloured though so i'll have to do that myself too.
