I LOVE a good bookmark and corner bookmarks are so cute and functional! Check out this tutorial for a reindeer corner bookmark and then make one (or five) with your kids this weekend.
We’re really close to being out for a couple of weeks for the holidays, so I need activities for the kids. Activities that aren’t device-related. (My youngest actually gets bored very quickly on video games. It’s a good problem to have.) We’ll be making these because they are so much fun.
First up, grab the template – you’ll sign up below and the template will be emailed to you.
Supplies to make reindeer corner bookmarks:
- The template (download from the box above!)
- Colored paper or card stock
- Pencil – to trace the template
- Craft glue
- Sharpie or gel pen
How to make a reindeer corner bookmark:
Step one – Choose your brown paper, along with dark brown, red, and white papers you plan on using for the reindeer bookmark. The template includes the following patterns – head, ears, antlers, and nose, mouth and eye patterns. Trace the templates on the selected craft papers and cut out the traced patterns.
Step two – Attach the mouth cutout on any one side of the head’s corners. Attach the nose cutout slightly overlapping the mouth part.
Step three – Use a sharpie to draw the eye cutouts. Attach the eye cutouts on the head cutout, above the nose.
Step four – Attach the ear cutouts on two adjacent sides of the head, opposite to the mouth part.
Step five – Attach the horn cutouts side by side, between the two ears.
Step six – Use a sharpie to trace the outlines of the ears and the mouth-line. Use a square sheet of paper to make a corner bookmark. I used a square paper that was about 6×6 inches.
Step seven – Apply glue on the square side of the corner bookmark.
Step eight – Attach the reindeer head on the glued part of the corner bookmark to complete the bookmark craft.
