DIY Printable Paper Actress Bookmarks
Todays Crafty Project is are some fun Printable Paper Actress Bookmarks! These are actually old postcards featuring early Actresses, that doubled as bookmarks. How Fun!
These were super easy to make! I know I always say that, but that’s because I like easy projects, so I usually only make easy projects. I’m lazy like that!
Anyway, I just printed these out on cardstock, and cut them out. Then I cut some long pieces of creamy grosgrain ribbon. I trimmed a “V” into the top of the ribbon to give it a more polished look. Then I hot glued on some creamy tassels. These were actually from some braided tassel trim that I had, if you look closely you can see the trim. Then I just glued the two sides of the postcards (front and back) to the ribbon. (The ribbon is sandwiched between the two pieces of printed cardstock.) That’s about it! I was really tempted to add some glitter, but I figured it would end up all over my books so … I restrained myself this time!

The ladies are beautiful. The added bonus of cutting a v-shape in the ribbon is it helps deter fraying, though you probably already knew that.
Cheers,
