Judging by all the feedback I get here and on my Facebook page, chances are you're a real bookmark lover! Paper, metal, fabric—whatever works, you use it to mark your place in a book. That's why today is all about bookmarks, including some free ones for you to print and use.
Pennsylvania Dutch Design
First is this page of lovely PA Dutch-art inspired designs, in
honor of my Amish fiction and nonfiction.
To make your own, simply print this image on your home printer then cut into strips. (Depending on your computer, printing an image may be as simple as right clicking on it and selecting "print." Or, once you have clicked on the image, you should be able to find a "print" option by on your Internet browser's navigation. If neither of those methods work, you may need to download the image first and then open and print it.)
For more durable bookmarks, consider printing on heavier cardstock.

Color Your Own
The same printing method should work for these color-your-own bookmarks as well. One tip: Color in the design before cutting into strips. Most markers, crayons, or colored pencils should
be fine—though don’t use pastels or any other coloring medium that might rub
off onto the pages of your book.

Dandelion Bookmark
I love this one because I never even knew dandelions were weeds until I was in my forties—and even then I didn’t believe it! J

The Pennsylvania Dutch book marks were going to be printing in a gray color and not the colors. I didn't print those because I wanted them colored. I was disappointed.
ReplyDeleteI love book marks and have many different ones.
This was a neat post. I might try to make some feather ones myself to see what happens.
That's a shame, I wonder why. Maybe your browser has a "grayscale" option that accidentally got checked?
DeleteI thought about that and checked it out. It's looking gray. I might have my daughter look at it when she gets home.
