How to make Washi Tape Envelope Bookmarks
I really enjoyed making these DIY bookmarks as an adult even. Washi tape such a fun craft medium to work with. It’s easy to tear and stretch, and it comes it a lot of fun colors. I got these mini washi tape sets (or deco tape) at Dollar Tree! Such a great deal!
For this bookmark craft you will need:
Envelopes (used ones work great!)
Washi Tape (various colors)
Scissors
- Cut off the bottom corner of your envelope. You will cut off about 1 to 1.5 inches so that the corner fits right over the corner of a piece of paper.
2. Use the bottom corners that don’t have an opening. Each envelope can make two bookmarks.
3. Add strips of washi tape along one side of the envelope corner as shown. It’s okay if it overlaps a little bit. Press the washi tape well so it sticks nicely. Do not cover the opening. Repeat on the other side of the envelope corner.
4. Trim off the extra washi tape with your scissors and make sure the tape is secure.
5. And that’s it! You’re done and now you can make another one!
How to make Craft Stick Bookmarks with Washi Tape:
This is another fun DIY bookmark for kids to make.
For this bookmark craft you will need:
popsicle sticks or craft sticks (tongue depressor size)
washi tape (various colors)
ribbon
1. Cut a small piece of ribbon to be the top of the bookmark. Attach the ribbon to the back of your bookmark with a piece of washi tape to hold it as shown.
2. Starting at the top of the craft stick, wind your washi tape around the craft stick overlapping just slightly if desired. Continue wrapping it with tape for about 1/2 inch to 1 inch. Make sure the tape is secure and then cut the tape. Then continue with another pattern of washi tape and repeat the process until you get to the bottom of the craft stick.
3. With your extra ribbon, tie a small bow at the top to finish it off. And you are done!
