It’s almost back-to-school time. Get prepared with these fun and easy-to-make confetti bookmarks. Choose your favorite colors or show your school spirit by using the school colors.

Here’s the supplies that you’ll need:

Scraps of colored paper or cardstock in your choice of colors
Packing tape
Paper punch
Scissors
Embroidery floss, narrow ribbon, yarn, or twine

Let’s make a confetti bookmark:

Cut a length of packing tape a few inches longer than you want your finished bookmark. Lay this tape sticky side up on your work surface.
Use a paper punch to punch a puddle of confetti from the colored papers.
Sprinkle the punches on the strip of packing tape.
Cover the tape and punches with a second strip of packing tape, and trim the ends.
Punch a hole in the center about ¾” from the top.
Cut your floss, ribbon, yarn, or twine into seven inch lengths. The number of lengths is up to you. I used twelve lengths of embroidery floss. Fold the lengths in half.
Pass the loop through the hole in the bookmark.
Then, pass the ends through the loop, and gently snug up the knot.
If you use embroidery floss, you can fluff the end by brushing with a toothbrush while holding the loop to relieve tension on the bookmark hole.
Now you’re ready to grab a good book and read.
