DLTK's Holiday Crafts for Kids
Christmas Angel Bookmarks

Print these "home-made" bookmarks for a special reading companion or for a great Christmas gift.

To add that extra bit of motivation, print out a bookmark for your child, your friend or yourself as a reward for reading a certain number of stories.

Even if you have a colour printer, you may prefer the black and white version which the kids can colour in themselves..

Materials:

• paper
• printer
• scissors
• glue
• crayons or something else to color with (for b&w print version)
   
• Optional:
  • wool
  • clear contact paper

Instructions:

• Click on the link of your choice (below) to print the template.  Color as appropriate.
• Cut the bookmark out (one big rectangle) and fold in half (left to right) along the center line.
• Glue so it stays folded together.
   
• Optional:  cover with clear contact paper so it lasts longer (you could also put a piece of cardboard in the center before gluing for a sturdier bookmark).
• 
  example of a bookmark
  with a tassel
  Optional:  Poke a hole in the top of the bookmark and tie a string/wool through as a tassel.  To make a tassel:
  • wrap wool loosely around 4 fingers 10 to 20 times.
  • tightly tie a long piece of wool around the bottom of the circle of wool.
  • Trim the top end of the loop.
  • put the end of the long piece through the hole in the top of the bookmark so the tassel dangles as much as you like.
  • Tie the long piece on and trim the end.

• Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP in most browsers).

Templates:

• After printing, close the template window to return to the main page.
• If the template doesn’t fit on one page, adjust your printer margins:
  • In most browsers: Print → More settings → Margins → Minimum
  • Or use Page Setup / Printer Setup in your printer dialog
