DIY BOOKMARKS: FUN WITH FRUIT
These DIY bookmarks are perfect for summer, when you're diving into a delicious beach read.
Equipment
- Cricut Maker or
- Scoring Tool (Maker and Explore only)
- Xyron Creative Station optional
Ingredients
- Colored card stock pink, light pink, yellow, light yellow, green, black, white, and brown
- Free Fun with Fruit Bookmarks File #C115
Instructions
- Upload the file into Cricut Design Space.
- In the Layers Panel, you will see that there are six "line" images in the file -- these are these are the score lines for folding your bookmarks. Click on each line and change it from a cut line to a score line in the Layer Attributes. The solid lines will turn to dotted lines in your file.
- Then "Ungroup" your entire file, so instead of being attached together, everything is in individual pieces.
- Then attach each score line to its main solid bookmark piece. This ensures the score line will score properly on the bookmark.
- Then you're ready to cut! Once you have all your pieces cut out, sort them into piles for each bookmark.
- You can use craft or spray glue to adhere each of the pieces, or the Xyron Creative Station as used here.
- Once you've adhered all the fruit pieces to the main bookmark pieces, fold along the score lines.
- Then add a bit of craft glue to glue the two triangle flaps together, making sure not to glue the flaps to the interior of the bookmark—you still need to be able to slide your book page in there.
- There you go! Six delicious DIY bookmarks that are perfect for summer!
