I created a quick video to show you the process, check it out below…
As you can see, I created the bookmarks with 2 different finishes. One set has a holographic laminate sheet on top, the other has a transparent thermal laminate sheet on top. You can do either way, or both for variety!
Step 1:
Download my free file, and print it on glossy photo paper from your inkjet printer.
Step 2:
Apply the holographic printer sticker paper on the back of the paper.
Step 3:
Apply the holographic laminate sheet on top, and pass it through the laminator with the cold setting to add pressure and better adhesion. Or if you are using the thermal laminate pouches, separate a pouch and put one sheet on top, and put it through the laminator with the heat on.
Step 4:
Trim the bookmarks with the paper cutter and trim the ends with the corner rounder punch.
Step 5:
With the hole punch add a hole to the bookmark, add yarn as shown in the video.
I hope you give try these Easy DIY Bookmarks, they are perfect for summer reading and back to school!
