This is a super easy project for a large group of children – a scouting group or classroom. The Star Bookmark is very inexpensive to make and can even be used as an activity for Party Themes including Space and Harry Potter.
MATERIALS:
- Fun foam – gold or yellow and black (or any color combination that you choose)
- Paper fastener (brad)
- 12″ grosgrain ribbon about 1″ wide (black works well) or gift wrap ribbon (which is what I used here)
- Fray check or clear nail polish
- Scissors
- Star Template
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Print out the star template. Each page will have 3 large stars and 3 smaller stars.
- Cut one smaller star out of yellow or black fun foam.
- Cut a slightly larger star out of the other color of fun foam.
- Lightly finish the loose ends of the ribbon with clear nail polish or fray check.
- Fold each of the stars in half and cut a very small snip (about 1/4 inch) in the center.
- Cut a small slit in the ribbon, about 1/2 inch down from one end.
- Matching the holes, assemble the bookmark: smaller star > ribbon > larger star.
- Insert the paper fastener through the holes, fastening behind the larger star.
SUGGESTIONS:
- This is a great gift idea for Father’s Day or Grandparents Day.
- By using a red, white and blue combination, you’ve got the perfect bookmark for a July 4th Patriotic theme.
- This is an easy craft (or even party favor) for a Harry Potter Birthday Themed Party.
