Valentine Bookmark

By Corliss Clayton

To make a bookmark to give to a family member or friend for Valentine Day, you will need: two different-color pieces of construction paper, scissors, glue, a paper punch, ribbon or yarn.

1. Trace a heart pattern four times onto one of the pieces of construction paper and cut them out. Write a message or draw pictures on the hearts, if desired.

2. Glue the hearts onto one side of the second piece of construction paper. Let the glue dry.

3. Punch a hole in the top of the bookmark. Fold the yarn or ribbon in half, thread it through the hole, and tie a knot. Cut the ribbon ends to make them even.
