Today I have a fun, quick & EASY tutorial for you. Don’t you just love the words quick and easy?!
I’ve been wanting to make some bookmarks for the whole “back to school” theme and I decided to make some button bookmarks with my large button stash. You guys know how much I love creating things with stuff I already have around the house, right? Well here is another one of those projects. I’m sure you ALL have some paperclips and buttons laying around. Pull them out and make these simple and cute bookmarks.
Button bookmarks
Supplies:
- paperclips
- fancy buttons
- hot glue
- felt
This tutorial really is so simple and easy enough to get the kids involved with (just make sure to assist with the gluing).
Instructions:
All you do is hot glue your paper clip to the back of your button and then cut a small piece of felt to go on top. The felt will keep the glue sealed in and leave a smooth finish. That’s it! Super simple, right?!
There are so many fun buttons you can use to get creative. I love all of the fun colors! :) These would make great gifts too. Just slip them onto the top of a card and you have your self a fun little gift.
Hope you enjoyed this fun little tutorial. Now can anyone guess which book this is?! ;)

Now, this is the kind of craft project I like! Making something functional and simple out of things you probably have around the house…what a great idea! Makes me wish I didn’t do so much reading on my Kindle. This is SO getting pinned…:)

Awesome blog! Do you have any tips for aspiring
writers? I’m planning to start my own site soon but I’m a little lost on
everything. Would you suggest starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option?
There are so many choices out there that I’m completely overwhelmed .. Any tips? Many thanks!

These are adorable and will make great gifts and a super-fun project to share with my 5-year old niece. Thanks for the great idea.
I think the book is from the Twilight series: Full Moon Leah’s Story.

The button bookmarks were a hit. I stopped off at Staples to pick up some pretty paperclips and then to my local cancer aid society gift and thrift to pick up some interesting buttons. Each bookmark averaged about 35 cents, and for a family of readers it was a welcome gift and I know they will be thinking good thoughts of me as they read their books this year. I’ll be using this over and over for the many other groups I need gifts for throughout the year.

That is awesome! Thanks for sharing. So glad you liked them.

I love this idea, and the button you chose.
I featured this project in my DIY button ideas list at http://wishfultinker.blogspot.se/2013/02/10-diy-projects-with-buttons.html

I would place another simple button on the back. I make bookmarks with punched out flowers and enclose the clip between the two buttons. A simple one behind the decorative one help to mark the exact page you left off of. Great idea using buttons.
Jamielyn
Great idea, thanks for sharing! :)

1. Lots of buttons dropped off from clothes lying around,
2. Paper clips in my stationery drawer,
3. Can easily make beautiful bookmarks like these!
Thanks for sharing :)
