Chipboard Bookmark

Create a magnetic bookmark.

Supplies

Step-by-Step

1. Step 1

   Trace around chipboard onto the patterned paper to cut out 4 pieces of paper to fit the chipboard shape. (Allows for front & back of each chipboard.)
   Use a thin layer of liquid glue to adhere cut paper to all 4 chipboard surfaces.

   

2. Step 2

   Use a brayer to squeeze out any air bubbles between the chipboard and paper. Do this to all chipboard/paper surfaces.

   

3. Step 3

   Sand all chipboard edges with a sanding block. Next, adhere the magnets to the backs of the chipboard pieces, using a strong liquid adhesive, such as Glossy Accents or Crystal Effects.

   

4. Step 4

   Add Scor-Tape™ to the raw cut ends of the ribbon. Fold the taped ends over on themselves to hide & secure raw edges.

   

5. Step 5

   Once the raw ribbon ends are folded under and secured, repeat the process by adding Scor-Tape to the folded ends of the ribbon. Now secure the ribbon ends to the chipboard backs, above the magnets in the topmost portion of the chipboard backs.

   

6. Step 6

   Use strong liquid adhesive to attach the embellishment to the front of the bookmark. Allow just a few minutes to dry.

   

7. Your bookmark is done.
