Greeting Card Bookmark

By Sherri Osborn, About.com

Recycle the greeting cards you have received! Make this great bookmark from old cards.

Materials:

  • Used Greeting Cards
  • Posterboard or Cardboard
  • Crayons, Markers, or Paint
  • Glue

Instructions:
Cut a strip from the posterboard or thin cardboard, about 8-inches x 2-inches. Cut out the picture on the front of a greeting card. Glue the picture at the top of the strip. Allow the glue to dry.

Write an message on the strip if you want. If the bookmark is a gift, you can simply write "to:" and "From:". If your picture is a Christmasy picture, write a Christmas message on your strip.

To make your bookmark more durable, cover it with clear contact paper or laminate it.
