Monster Bookmarks and Heart Bookmarks

 
Monster Bookmark
Materials:
*Patterned paper
*Paper scraps in white, black, and a color of your choice (for the monster's eye color)
*Template
*Glue
*Scissors
*Pencil
*Hole punch (optional)

Directions:
*Resize template to the desired size and print.

*Trace the monster's head (the parallelogram in the template I posted below) onto the back side of the sheet of patterned paper and cut out the shape.
*Fold along the solid lines pictured to form a square, with the patterned side of the paper facing outward.  You will now have two triangular flaps that form a square.  Glue down one of the flaps.
*Cut out teeth and eyes for the monster following the template.  Create the monster's pupils by using a small hole punch to create two small black circles.  Glue together the pieces of the monster's eyes.
*Glue teeth to the unglued flap, then carefully glue down the side of the side of the side of the unglued flap.  It is important that you only glue down the very side of the strap, since otherwise the bookmark will not fit on your book correctly.
*Glue on the monster's eyes and set aside to dry.

Heart bookmark
Materials:
*Patterned paper
*Old envelope
*Heart template
*Pencil
*Scissors
*Glue

Directions:
*Resize template to the desired size and print.

*In the corner of your envelope, trace the large heart and cut it out.  Do not cut the sides of the envelope, only the top of the heart as the sides are what holds your bookmark together.
*Trace the smaller heart twice onto the patterned paper and cut out the resulting hearts.
*Glue one heart to each side of the heart cut from the envelope and let dry.
