Hand-Made Bookmarks

It’s nice to be focused on your art, but you should be having fun, too! One project that I like is making paper crafts to send to my friends, just a little something to remind them that I’m thinking of them.

Sometimes I make hand-made paper from recycled paper items and I find different ways to use them such as to write letters to my friends or to make cute doodles for fun. For Valentine’s Day, I used some of my hand-made paper to make bookmarks for my friends. I painted some of them and for other,s I kept them blank so the patterns of the paper can be seen. Then I wrote their names on them and made some doodles.

Since I’m still not able to see my friends in person, I mailed them their bookmarks along with a hand-made card. I had so much fun with this project, and it costs little to nothing since I used recycled materials!
