Magnetic Bookmarks & A GIVEAWAY!

I saw a tutorial for magnetic bookmarks from Martha herself. I wanted to make some that weren't Father's Day themed.



To make this, download the template here. It looks like this:



Print it on your color printer, cut out the bookmarks, and then fold them in half. I used a corner rounder punch on one of them:



You can use peel and stick magnet strips to attach to the inside bottoms of the bookmarks. I found the magnets at Michaels for $1.49. Yes, I used my 40% off coupon to save a whole $0.60!





And here they are in action:



These are great to include in birthday cards for my friends who enjoy reading. You can also make your own by cutting out a rectangle to decorate or embellish. Mine were about 3" x 7" but you can make it any size you want.

I will mail these two bookmarks to the first person (within the United States) who comments with the name the book in the picture above. **Brimful Curiosities was the first to comment: the book is "Where the Sidewalk Ends" by Shel Silverstein**
