Creating DIY shakeable and sparkly confetti bookmarks is a fun and creative project that can be enjoyed by both kids and adults. Here's a step-by-step guide to make these bookmarks using simple materials.
### Materials Needed - **Cardstock or Thick Paper** (for the bookmark base) - **Clear Contact Paper or Plastic Film** (for the shaker part) - **Glitter or Confetti** (in various colors) - **Scissors** - **Glue or Adhesive** - **Ribbon or Tassel** (optional for decoration) - **Double-sided adhesive tape**
### Instructions
#### Step 1: Design the Bookmark Base 1. **Cut the Cardstock**: Use scissors to cut a rectangular piece from the cardstock for the bookmark base. Make sure it's not too thick to fit between book pages.
#### Step 2: Create the Shaker Part 1. **Cut Two Pieces of Contact Paper**: Cut two pieces of clear contact paper slightly larger than your bookmark base. 2. **Add Glue**: Apply a thin layer of glue or adhesive to the edges of one piece of contact paper, leaving a small gap to fill with glitter. #### Step 3: Add Glitter or Confetti 1. **Fill with Glitter**: Sprinkle glitter or confetti through the gap. 2. **Seal the Gap**: Press the second piece of contact paper over the first, ensuring the edges are sealed well to trap the glitter inside.
#### Step 4: Attach to Bookmark Base 1. **Apply Adhesive Tape**: Use double-sided adhesive tape to attach the sealed glitter packet to the bookmark base.
#### Step 5: Add Decorations (Optional) 1. **Tie a Ribbon or Tassel**: For extra flair, tie a ribbon or attach a tassel to the top of the bookmark.
#### Step 6: Enjoy Your Shakeable Bookmark 1. **Use and Enjoy**: Now you have a vibrant, shakeable bookmark that adds sparkle to any book.
