Fall Leaves Bookmark

Now that you are back in school you are probably doing lots of reading and have lots of assignments. These bookmarks look really great and will help you keep your place. This project uses scissors so please get some adult supervision when cutting out the felt.

Here's what you'll need:

Felt, fall colors
Small hair clips
3" X 5" Cards or heavy card stock
Tacky Glue

There are a lot of different ways to make this project. I'm sure you will figure out which way works best for you.
You can use stamps to imprint a leaf onto a piece of felt or you can draw a leaf. It needs to be about 1 1/2" to 2" long.
Cut out around the leaf.
Glue the leaf to another piece of felt that's a different color.

Cut a piece of 3" X 5" card a little smaller than the back piece. This is to make the bookmark a little stiffer.
Take another piece of felt about the same size as the background and glue the card and clip onto it. (see picture)
Glue the top piece onto the back piece making sure that the top of it covers the top of the clip.
Cut around the leaf leaving about a 1/4" border.

I know this sounds a little confusing but I hope the pictures will help. They are fun to make and work really good. Try different shapes like pumpkins. They also make nice gifts for your best friends at school.

We hope you liked this project. If you build it and your friends ask where you got such a clever idea, please tell them that you got it at RunnerDuck.com.
