Photo Silhouette Bookmarks


     I found this craft idea on this blog.  Here are my own versions of the bookmarks, along with some instructions.

Materials:
*Photos
*Scissors
*Hole puncher
*Self-adhesive laminating sheets
*Ribbon

Directions:
*Punch a hole above the subject(s) of your photo where you would like the ribbon to go.
*Cut around the subject(s), leaving about an eighth of an inch of border around everything.
*Sandwich photos between two self-adhesive laminating sheets and then cut out the photos, again leaving a border.
*Punch over the plastic covering the hole for the ribbon.  Depending on how sharp your punch is, it may or may not punch through the plastic well, but you can use an X-acto knife to cut out excess plastic if the hole punch doesn't work.
*Cut off a length of ribbon and loop it through the hole in the bookmark.
