No matter how exciting the world of the book is, it is not always possible to read a work "from cover to cover" at one time. A sudden phone call or an unexpected arrival of guests often forces you to interrupt reading at the most interesting place. The most common ones come to the rescue in such cases. bookmarks.

Perhaps someone will say that making bookmarks for books with your own hands is not fashionable these days. Moreover, there are countless variations on the theme of the cardboard bookmark-ruler on the market of modern printed products. But there is something subtly alluring about the perky face of a monkey or the long trunk of an elephant hanging from the page. Something reminiscent of the house and mother's hands that made this miracle. In addition, purchased bookmarks have a nasty ability to get lost at the most inopportune moment. Which, you see, is extremely unpleasant. Especially if this happened during the lesson, and the unlucky student has to leaf through the textbook for several minutes in search of the right page under the gaze of a disgruntled teacher.

So that such embarrassment does not happen to your child, we propose to make DIY bookmarks for books... These small "creations" will not only reliably protect the desired page, but will certainly cheer up their owner.

Felt bookmarks

Round bookmark dog

This felt bookmark will be "on the shoulder" of everyone who knows how to wield scissors and a needle. To create it, you need felt or fleece of black, white and pink flowers, pieces of red and blue felt, glue, cardboard, threads and some linen gum.

Using the template, cut out three circles (from black, white felt and cardboard) and the rest of the details. Sew the two pink muzzle pieces with a backstitch and tack lightly. Sew on the stain, glue the eyes and tongue to the white round piece, and sew the muzzle to it. Glue the entire white part to the cardboard circle. Between the black and white round part, focusing on the drawing, put the ears and elastic, glue. Sweep the bookmark in a circle. If desired, you can fold and glue one or both ears. A felt dog bookmark is ready to decorate the cover, and inside there is an inconspicuous elastic band, which, nevertheless, reliably holds the pages.

Bookmarks Cat and Frog

I think, at one glance at these two funny felt bookmarks enough to understand: they are made according to the same principle. You will need pieces of colored felt, cardboard, a needle and thread, glue, a little bit of holofiber for stuffing and eyes (half beads) for a cat.

The algorithm of actions is extremely simple.

1. We cut out all the details from felt (you can fleece) of the desired colors. If you want the finished bookmarks to bend less and keep their "presentation" longer, you can duplicate the body with cardboard or dublin. In the latter case, the bookmarks can even be erased.
2. We design the head. Sew on one part of the head and lightly fill (glue) the eyes, muzzle, nose, cheeks, embroider the mouth, mustache (you can draw it) and grind two parts of the head with an overcast seam. Towards the end of sewing, we fill our head with holofiber.
3. Sew the head to one of the body parts.
4. We fold the details of the body with a "sandwich": felt, cardboard (dublin), felt and sew along the entire perimeter with an overcast seam.

Fish tab

Bookmark - Fleece fish

This bookmark is made using mixed technique of applique and sewing. All parts are cut out of the fabric of the desired colors, and the main body part is also cut out of white cardboard. Actually, all other fabric parts are glued to it. And when connecting the details of the "sandwich", one must not forget about the ribbon or string, to which the shells and the fish itself will be attached.

This funny little dog, no doubt, will revive the pages of even the most boring textbook. Making it will take no more effort than sewing bookmarks in the form of a frog and a cat. And the principle of its creation is the same.

Well, for those who liked such animal bookmarks, we offer templates thanks to which you can sew a hippo and Winnie the Pooh.

And the result is a cute paper dog corner bookmark that can also be used as a useful accessory. A similar bookmark can be made during the summer holidays to get ready for a new academic year... Since each student has several textbooks, the same number of dogs should be made, as well as spare characters, just in case, for example.

On a note! New Year 2018 will be held under the sign of a yellow earthen dog, which means that such a tab-corner doggie can be a great idea for new year gift family and friends.

To simulate a corner bookmark in the form of a dog, prepare:

• a sheet of white office paper;
• orange, red and black paper;
• scissors and glue;
• pencil and black felt-tip pen.

How to make a paper doggy bookmark step by step

The proposed dog will be white, made of ordinary office paper. We will use orange for the ears, tail and a speck on the face. Also white can be replaced with black, brown flowers, and instead of orange, use some other shade. We will make the puppy's tail, as if it wags it. But in your work, focus on the size of your books.

Cut a square out of a white sheet. The largest possible size from an A4 base will do. Focusing on the smaller side, fold the sheet, then cut off the excess. You will be left with a double-folded triangle, which is needed for further work on modeling the corner.

To make a part in the form of a pocket, you need to combine all three corners in the prepared triangle. First join one sharp corner to a straight line, then the second. Iron all the folds to make them stand out well.

Fold back the sharp corners in the triangle. And also bend the upper straight corner towards you. Iron the fold in a straight line, first put one sharp corner under it.

Then symmetrically fold the second sharp corner into the pocket. The corner, which is the basis of the bookmark, is ready.

Now you need to outline on paper and cut out additional details that will turn the resulting paper blank into a small dog. We need: a red oblong tongue, two long orange ears, an oval cutout for a speck on the face, black details for the eyes and nose.

Carefully cut the corner itself to highlight two tubercles - the relief of the dog's nose. Insert the red tab into the resulting cutout, having previously greased the paper with glue. Glue the black triangular nose a little higher. Draw some black dots under the nose.

Glue an orange speck and black pupils in the central part of the triangular pocket. Decorative eyes or buttons are also suitable. It is also convenient to draw the pupils with a black felt-tip pen.

Glue the ears on the sides (to the side corners of the bookmark). You can first round off these corners with scissors. Add a small orange ponytail at the back.

The little puppy is ready. And now there will be a reason to read new book together with the child. It is convenient to attach a paper bookmark to the pages. Slip on the pocket and place the book on the shelf.

When closed, we will see only the tongue and ears.
