DIY Handmade Bookmarks.

Get ready, book lovers, because I have a treat for you! If you're anything like me, you love getting lost in a good book, and what better way to make sure you don't lose your page than with a personalised bookmark?

I've scoured the web and gathered together 25+ creative bookmarks from fellow crafters and bloggers. Why settle for a plain old bookmark when we can make them ourselves?

These DIY bookmarks are not only easy to make but are also a great gift for book lovers of all ages. Especially when you add them to a new book you know your friends or a family member will love to read.

Fun Bookmark Ideas.

My favourite thing about making your own bookmark is how many different ways there are to be customised. They can be made to match your style, favourite colour or even the book you're reading.

If you're a fan of colourful patterns make one of the colouring page bookmarks using a free printable template. For anyone who loves to paint make pretty watercolor bookmarks.

Do you have a stash of sequins lying around? Put them to good use and make shaker-style bookmarks using scrapbook paper and a sewing machine.

Creative DIY Bookmarks.

For a quick and easy DIY project make simple corner origami bookmarks or take some craft sticks and your favourite washi tapes (you know, the ones you hoard) and make cute washi tape bookmarks. 

If you're up for a slightly more intricate craft, give one of the super pretty pressed flower bookmarks a try. Perfect for nature lovers.

A DIY bookmark makes a wonderful gift for fellow book lovers and is a great way of spreading the joy of crafting and reading to others. Pick one or more of the fun bookmarks from the list below and use them to save your page or give them to your favourite bookworm as a gift.
