Resin bookmark
Introducing a resin bookmark with a fresh, crystal-clear look.
Prepare resin liquid, a mold for pouring the resin, flower chips and sparkly beads, and a ribbon if you like.
Pour the resin into the mold.
When choosing the mold, it helps to imagine the bookmark’s shape and the size you want to make.
Add flower chips and the like to the poured resin and let it cure.
Pressed flowers or beads you love would also look adorable.
Once the resin bookmark has hardened, make a hole and thread a ribbon through it if you like—that’s it! It also makes a great gift for someone special.
Origami and Sleek Ribbon Bookmark
Here’s how to make an original bookmark with origami and a neat ribbon.
Prepare origami paper and a ribbon to get started.
Fold the origami paper in half, then open it up and make creases horizontally and vertically as well.
As you add creases to divide it into thirds, shape it into a bookmark.
For the ribbon, tie a simple knot first, then thread it through the bookmark hole—this is the key to getting a clean, tidy knot.
Finish by applying fray-preventer to the ribbon’s cut ends.
Using patterned origami paper is recommended.

Here’s an introduction to a bookmark with a visible ribbon that peeks out from your book.
It’s a ribbon bookmark recommended for those who love cute things.
Cut a piece of construction paper into a long, narrow strip and fold it in half.
Leaving the folded end as the tip where the ribbon will be attached, glue the strip together.
Trim the corners at the ribbon end, attach the ribbon, and you’re done.
When making the ribbon, the key is to cut it a bit long.
Wrap the ribbon around your fingers to form it.
Many bookmarks only peek out slightly as a marker, but having the ribbon visible makes it even cuter.
