DIY paper bookmarks for children (step-by-step instructions)

These patterns need to be woven.
I'll show you in detail how to do this. And to make the bookmark more beautiful, you can use different colored papers. Then you will get a very nice pattern. Cut 2 strips of each color of paper. The width of the strips is 1 cm.

Glue 2 strips of the same color to the edge at right angles. These are our red stripes.

Having retreated 1 cm from the corner of the workpiece, glue strips of a different color (white), one, and then the other.

We bend the top, red stripe diagonally.

And on the other side of the workpiece we bend the red strip diagonally.

Now we bend the white stripes diagonally. We do this until there are 1-1.5 cm of strips left. You can fix the braid with glue so that the structure holds tighter.

Cut off the bottom of the workpiece at an angle. And glue the edges of the strips together.

Use a hole punch to make a hole at the top of the workpiece.

Fold a thick thread or ribbon in half and thread it through the hole. We pull the tail of the ribbon into the loop. We tighten it. If it is a thread, you can cut the ends and fluff the threads.

As you can see, it's very easy to do. And stripes can be used in one, two, three or even four colors.

And another simple option - cute cats that hold the page with their paws.

They are very easy to make, your baby can also participate in the process of creating them. We measure and cut a strip 4-5 cm wide, about 10 cm long. Draw a cat’s face and two paws on it.

Using a sharp knife or thin scissors, cut out the legs along the outline, leaving the paper surface at the top of the legs intact.

The cheerful kittens are ready, isn't it simple?! Preschoolers really like them.
