Vintage Magical Bookmark and Tassel DIY

 I just love snuggling up under a fluffy blanket and a good book. I often find myself to comfy and fall asleep while reading.  😊 Which leaves me needing something to save my place.

So today lets make a cute bookmark!

  • Imagination
  • Scissors
  • Alcohol markers 
  • ink- Palette, hybrid acid free
  • Sharpie marker
  • Card stock
  • Acrylic paint
  • Cardstock
  • Tissue paper
  • Yarn or thread
  • Glue Stick
  • Rubber Stamps used-
Marigold Flowers from the Day of the Dead sugar Skull set by Donna Gray



I'm still new to the great world of stamps, so I wanted to push myself and do a more of a layered background. I started with the with the Marigold Flowers in the upper corner. From there I just kept adding. I'm really pleased with this background. 



I just love the look of tassels and stamps together. You can easily make your own using yarn or thread.

  1. Wrap the yarn around cardboard or your fingers. The more you wrap the more fuller your tassel will become. I wrapped mine about 20 times.
  2. I just used a long piece of yarn and tied a double knot on the top, then slipped it off my cardboard. You could also use a jump ring between the loop. This will be used to attach your tassel to your finished piece.
  3. Next cut off a piece of yarn to tie near the top of your tassel. Tie a double knot, then wrap the yarn around a few times. Giving the tassel a more finished look tie another double knot.
  4. Cut the bottom loops. I used crappy scissors, so I needed to trim the ends a bit to make my tassel pretty.
