Don't throw away those old envelopes. Turn them into bookmarks with a little duct tape. If you liked my monster bookmarks and heart bookmark tutorial, this craft may be right up your alley.
Materials:
*Duct tape
*Envelope
*Scissors
Directions:
*Cut off a strip of duct tape and place it diagonally across one corner of your envelope. This should be fairly straightforward if you're using solid colored duct tape, but if you are using patterned duct tape and want a particular part of the tape on the bookmark, it gets a little trickier. I left the very tip of my bookmark untaped so I could fit the whole owl on there.
*Trim off excess duct tape, making sure not to cut open the sides of the envelope.
*Cut the corner of the envelope off along the bottom edge of the duct tape to create your bookmark.
*For a double sided bookmark, add a second strip of duct tape to the back of the bookmark and then cut off the excess tape. You can use the same duct tape as you used for the front side or you can mix things up by adding a different color or pattern.
