Hello there! Here you'll learn how to make bookmarks with three aesthetic designs. I'll be showing you how to make a moon bookmark, a crystal bookmark with a word on it, and a ombre geometric bookmark.
All three of these aesthetic paper bookmark ideas are really easy to make. I think all three of the bookmarks came out pretty. My favorite is the moon bookmark. Which one is your favorite?
1. Cut out a bookmark out of black cardstock paper. You want to make the bookmark to be about 6 by 2 inches or you can make it any size that you want. If you want to put more moons on the bookmark you want to make the bookmark longer.

2. When you're done cutting out your bookmark, you want to take something circular and trace it to make four phases of the moon.
I used washi tape to make the moons. You can use a ruler to help measure them apart. It also might be easier to start from the top moon and the bottom moon and you can draw the middle moons last.

2. After you're done cutting out your bookmark, you want to write a word in the middle with a pencil. I wrote the word dream on my bookmark but you can write whatever you would like on the it.
4. When you're done drawing the crystals, you can go over the crystalswith a pen and then you can go over word with a marker.
6. When you're done erasing, you can color in the crystalsany color that you want. I colored mine pink purple and blue.
Ladybug Corner Bookmark
1. Just like the other bookmarks, what you want to do is that you want to cut out a bookmark out of white cardstock paper and you want to make the bookmark to be about 6 by 2 inches or any size.
2. For the next part of this bookmark you're going to lay your bookmark on a scrap piece of paper and you're going to need two paintbrushes and two colors of acrylic paint. I used the colors orange and pink.
3. You want to start painting with one color at one end of the bookmark and you want to paint until you reach the middle and you want to do the same thing to the other end of the bookmark but with the other color.

To help with the blending, you can switch paintbrushes and you can also dry off your paintbrush but you're going to want to keep a little bit of paint on the paintbrush so you can still blend the paint.
7. Once you're done painting the stripes, you can go back and clean up any lines or any spots that are messed up.
If you paint the back, make sure you're careful that you don't get paint on the front or your going to have to go and fix the front of the bookmark.

I'll be showing you how to make a watercolor ombre bookmark with a silhouette on it, a sky bookmark, a striped bookmark and one with a word on it.
For all of these bookmarks you want to cut the bookmark out of watercolor paper. I made my bookmarks to be 6 in x 2 in or 15 cm x 5 cm.
If you want to add ribbon or something else on the bookmark you want to put a hole with a hole puncher.

4.For the birds you can take a thin paintbrush and black watercolor paint and you want to paint birds onto the sky.
The birds I made are two curves connected together but you can make any bird you want. You can make small and big birds. The larger birds are closer and the smaller birds are farther away.
6. If you put a hole in the bookmark you want to take a piece of ribbon and fold it in half so you create a loop. Then you want to run the ribbon through the hole of the front of the bookmark and then you can run the ends of the ribbon though the loop and you're done.

6. Take a pencil and draw a silhouette of anything that you want. I drew a butterfly and later i drew some leaves.
To make things easier you can search for a picture on the internet to go off of and you do want to try to avoid erasing anything because the paint can come off.
8. If you put a hole in the bookmark you're going to follow the same steps as the first bookmark which is you want to take a piece of ribbon and fold it in half and then you want to run the ribbon through the hole of the bookmark and run the ends of the ribbon though the loop.

2. When the bookmark is dry you want to take a pencil and write a word or a quote onto the bookmark. I wrote the word hello.

I’ve seen a lot of different sizes online and this will come to your personal preference. I cut these bookmarks 2 1/2 inches wide by 6 inches long.
After this, you can add more water or use more color from your marker. The more color you use, the more saturated your watercolor background will be. On the other hand, if you want a lighter watercolor background, add more water.
I recommend you sketch this part on another piece of paper or practice beforehand if this is the first time you’re drawing floral doodles. Practicing beforehand will help you with spacing within the bookmark.
