Cute Bookmark Tutorial by Jenni from Kissed By a Frog

   Happy Thursday, y'all! I am so excited that the sweet Jenni from Kissed by a Frog has a wonderful guest post for us today! If you aren't following her blog already, you are really missing out and I hope you will stop by Kissed by a Frog and show some love! I just love it! Here's Jenni...

   Hello Homemaker in Heels readers! I am so excited to be here with you all today! I just LOVE Crystal's blog! Every time I stop in for a visit I feel so happy! She and her blog just exude happy bubbly wonderfulness~ Don't you think?
   Anywhoooooo, I live with my husband and our 4 wonderful children in Kansas City. I blog about all sorts of things but I am really just getting started and trying to find my niche.  You can find information about us renovating our house and making it a home, kids crafts, educational ideas, gift ideas, and whatever else seems to tickle my fancy that day. I started blogging in June as a way to journal, as I try to start my own business and keep my house running. So far, so good. Once a week I feature my favorite blogging buddy. I have met some amazing people through blogging! And every Thursday I have a Linky Party. But enough about me! LET'S GET OUR CRAFT ON!!!
   I LOVE craft projects that are easy enough to finish while watching How to Train Your Dragon (which I watch daily btw) and that I can have my kids be involved. I had planned a really cool tutorial for you all but it was a total craft FAIL in my book so I must try it again and see what went wrong. So, I decided to show you all a SUPER EASY, super CUTE craft that you can make in literally a minute.

ENVELOPE BOOKMARKS

Supplies needed:
Square Envelopes (mine are 4 ¾ x 4 ¾ )
Stickers or Embellishments of your choice
A paper cutter or scissors
A Pencil
Seriously that is all you need!

Here are your supplies

Measure, using your book of choice, 

where you would like your book mark to fit 

over the corner of your page.   

See my mark on the right.

Line up your mark with your paper cutter or scissors

and CUT. 

If you would like a more precise corner measure

both side equally, I measured 10" on one side and ten

on the other.

Line up both marks and CUT. 

OR if you cannot find a pencil or pen or you

just don't want to, line up the envelope like a diamond

and cut from one corner to the other.

See how easy that is!!! And think about how you

can recycle or up-cycle all that junk mail you get!!

Okay, now here come the hard part!

Add your sticker and embellishment where you would

like and voila...

ALL DONE!

Aren't these little Robot Dudes soooo

cute??

I added a leftover flower to one as well!

A little to big for this book.

Fits just right! Now how stinking easy was that??

Check out these that my 6-year-old daughter made...

She used her favorite craft book:

water colors, some of her stickers, and a pen to make hers.

HAHA She made a frog! LOVE it! 

Her Stickers. She said she added the red ribbon

because she is a real princess. TOO CUTE! 

And a mermaid and her father with a fish.

Aren't they cute!!

Thanks for having me over to play, I hope all you loverly readers enjoyed my tiny little tutorial!
