How to make a paper house bookmark. Original bookmarks for books with your own hands made of paper

The argument about what will win - a classic paper book or an electronic one, is reminiscent of the story from the movie "Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears": one of the main characters argued that very soon there would be nothing but television - neither theater nor cinema.

Life proved that he was wrong. It's the same with a book. Yes, someone prefers electronic.

However, the paper version is out of competition. What a wealth and variety bookstores offer!

How wide the eyes are, studying the contents of the shelves and counters! And if there is a book, then you need a bookmark for it.

A bit of history

As soon as people learned how to make books or something that looked like books, they came up with bookmarks. For example, the ancient Egyptians marked the necessary scrolls with pieces of papyrus.

Later, in handwritten folios (first parchment, and then paper) too it was necessary to somehow mark the necessary pages, so as not to leaf through a voluminous volume from and to in search of some selected places.

Precious pages simply had to be protected so that they would not fray. Later in books began to glue silk ribbons.

This technique is used today, but only in expensive, classic editions. Everyone else needs bookmarks.

They are made from various materials, in different ways: leather, plastic, knitted, lace, metal.

However paper ones are more common. The main thing is that you can make them yourself, involving even children in the work.

Teaching kids how to craft

Making paper bookmarks is an easy way to teach your sons and daughters how to craft.

The kid will develop hand motor skills, feel a taste for creativity, and most importantly - very quickly see the result.

Young children do not always have the patience to work on some kind of craft for days or weeks, and a creative bookmark for books can be made in one evening.

In the process of creativity, skills are formed in handling tools and materials that will be useful in the future.

Here's what you need to prepare to get started:

paper (white, color),
thin cardboard;
ruler;
scissors;
pencils, markers;
glue.

Original performance techniques

You can make a bookmark in the form of an ordinary long strip of paper, or you can show your imagination, then it will be more interesting for you and the children to work. First, choose a technique for making crafts.

Suitable:

application,
scrapbooking;
origami;
weaving;
quilling.

Unusual and beautiful ideas: how to make them

Originality can be achieved already at the expense of the form. It doesn't have to be a long strip of paper.

It could betriangle pocket, which is easy to put on the desired page of the book (it can be made from a regular mail envelope or glued from a sheet of paper).

Master class on how to make a bookmark-corner for books out of paper, origami technique:

It can be any figure, as long as it is convenient to use. Here are some examples.

Bookmark-palm. Put the baby's hand on colored thick paper or thin cardboard, circle the contours of the palm.

Draw something funny on it (like a funny face) and cut it out.

Take a strip of paper, glue it to the back of the cut out palm. The craft is ready.

And there will be no price for her when, in a few years, you find her in one of the books and remember how small your son or daughter was, how tiny their fingers were.

Can do pencil bookmark, using paper of different colors, making one of its ends triangular, like a sharpened pencil.

If your child wants to give gifts to his friends or family, you can make a whole set of colored pencils together with him.

In general, address crafts are very good. Can be done for dad bookmark-mustache, gluing at the top of the strip of paper a drawing in the form of a mustache a la Hercule Poirot.

For grandfather - tea cup, with a tea bag lowered into it on a thread, the tip of which, together with a piece of paper-tag, will peek out of the book.

Grandma, who always forgets everything, can do reel bookmark from cardboard, completing it with a semblance of a coil and carefully winding some beautiful threads around it.

If you want to thread the bookmark around its entire perimeter ( it will be very pretty), do this: mom will stitch the craft around the edge on a sewing machine (without a thread, just punching holes with a needle), and the child, using these holes, will walk along all edges very evenly, beautifully with an overcast seam.

Another important point: on bookmarks for books, a quote from your favorite writers, a motivating inscription or your wish to the person to whom the gift is addressed will look very organic.

Try to ensure that the crafts made with the children do not lie dead weight at home, like Gogol's Manilov for two years on the 14th page of the same book.

The child must be convinced of their functionality, to see that his relatives live according to the principle of not a day without a book. Then he himself will become addicted to reading.

And the last page must be marked - for this you will need such a little thing as paper pigtail bookmark . Schoolchildren can’t do without one bookmark, because they have a lot of textbooks, as well as books for extracurricular reading. And you can simulate wonderful bright bookmarks yourself from paper or other materials. This lesson shows a variant of a two-color pigtail bookmark, which can be woven from paper strips using a special technique.

Let's consider step by step how to do it.

To create a bright pigtail bookmark, prepare:

- red and green two-color paper;

- scissors, a ruler and a pencil (if you have quilling paper, then these tools are not needed);

- a thin satin ribbon, gold lace or textured rope;

- two beads;

How to make a paper bookmark with your own hands

We recommend that you make a bookmark from contrasting colors of paper so that it turns out to be unusual and elegant. If you have thin strips of quilling paper, then take 4 strips - 2 strips of each color. From large A4 sheets, cut 2 thin strips. Using a ruler and pencil, draw lines, then cut out according to the template. The width can be 1 cm, and the length can correspond to the long side of the A4 sheet.

Prepare 2 pairs of strips for work. These are the main pieces.

Glue the first pair of strips at a right angle. Apply a drop of glue to the very end of the strip. Align the second strip, clearly adhering to the corners, press down on top with your fingers.

Next to the top strip, glue the first green one, adjoin it clearly to the red part, and also strictly observe a right angle.

Glue the second green strip on top with an overlap, aligning the edge with the edge of the workpiece.

Bend the right red strip to the left so that the sides of the parts are clearly aligned.

When you reach the end, glue the ends.

Prepare a thin satin ribbon and beads for tassels.

In the upper corner, make a hole with scissors or an awl, insert a ribbon into it, tie it in a knot. Thread beads onto the ends of the ribbon (one at each end) and tie knots so that the beads hold well. At this stage, you can also use a golden lace or other bright rope. At the bottom, you can mask the place of gluing the ends of the strips behind a paper emoticon or a cartoon face. By cutting out a suitable part from a children's magazine or packaging.

The bookmark in the form of a red-green pigtail is ready. This homemade little thing will definitely come in handy for a child, and you can make other options using suitable shades. Unusual weaving is sure to appeal to young creators, and Paper Pigtail bookmarks will look great between the pages of your books.
