About
Buttons, paper clips, hot glue, felt, scissors, and a lighter. That's it. That's all you need!
This is a fun little project that moves fast! In a short bit of time, you can make a bunch of these bookmarks. Give them to your teachers, your favorite reader, or do like I do and use them to mark your file folders.

You Will Need
-
Step 1The style of buttons you need are shank buttons. You will want to pre cut the felt into smaller pieces, large enough to cover your buttons.
-
Step 2Hook the buttons onto the paper clip and slide them to the end with one loop.
-
Step 3Put a blob of hot glue on the back of the button to hold the paper clip in place.
-
Step 4Quickly put the felt over the glue and press down. In hindsight, I could have cut my felt smaller.
-
Step 5Repeat until you have finished all your bookmarks.
-
Step 6Trim the felt around the button. The goal is basically to cover the glue blob.
-
Step 7A lighter will help the felt to draw up from the edges. Work fast though; you don't want to scorch the felt or your buttons.
-
Step 8Go read a good book and be sure to use one of your fabulous bookmarks. Make extra to share!
