Quick Crafts: Gift Tags and Bookmarks

I've been a crafter since 2006. In 2019, I started collecting art prints, gift tags, and postcards. 

Recently, I've been addicted to stationery, washi tapes, and stickers. 

Since I now own lots and lots of sticker packs, I noticed that I can recycle the colorful cardboard sheets that come from sticker packs into gift tags and bookmarks. 

This project is a quick craft and can be done in 10-15 minutes, and requires only a beginner's level in skill. 

If you're a parent or guardian and you want to temporarily wean your kids away from their screens, you can do this type of quick craft with them. 

Gift Tags and Bookmarks: Materials

• cardboard sheets from sticker packs 
• paper cutter (or pen, ruler, and scissors) 
• twine (or ribbon or colorful yarn) 

Procedure

(1.) Gather all colorful cardboard sheets from sticker packs.

(2.) Use a paper cutter to trim the excess portion from the cardboard (you can also draw a line with a pencil and ruler and cut with scissors). 

(3.) After you're done, use a paper twine and tie your gift tag into a paper bag (you can also use a ribbon or colorful yarn). 

(4.) Insert your new bookmark in a book.
