Make your own bookmark presents
We’re giving some books as birthday presents to friends in my daughter’s class so we decided to personalise the gifts by making a bookmark for each child.
Three easy steps:
1. Cut out a rectangle of card and use pens and pencils to draw a design. We wrote the birthday child’s name one one side and ‘love from …’ on the back.
2. Laminate or cover in sticky backed plastic.
(You can find laminating machines for under £20 on eBay or Amazon – they are useful for other children’s activities and crafts)
3. Punch out a hole and thread a ribbon through.
A nice gift for grandparents’ birthdays and for Christmas too.
