Bookmark+booksaver

This is a simple way to do a bookmark that will save the pages too.

Please, vote for this 'ible in the contests!

You'll need:

• cardboard (more or less 14 cm x 10 cm)
• scissors
• glue
• elastic band (more or less 30 cm)

Fold the cardboard in two.

Glue both ends of the elastic band inside the cardboard, so it makes a loop.

Glue the cardboard.

Optional: you can cut the corners of the cardboard so they are round.

You can decorate the cardboard in the way you prefer: here I've drawn a tulip with felt-tips, but you can use collage or paper, free your fantasy.

The bookmark is ready.

Booksaver: the elastic band will keep the book closed, so the book won't be riuned if you put it in a bag.

Bookmark: the cardboard will keep the mark.
