Pressed Flower Bookmark Craft Project

This easy tutorial will show you how to make these beautiful pressed flower bookmarks with paper and/or laminating sheets.

Active Time1

Fold the white watercolor paper and use a paintbrush to brush water along the crease. Then tear along the wet crease to create a torn edge.
Repeat with all four edges of the paper.
Glue the white paper to a black cardstock backing.
Play around with the pressed flowers and leaves into a layout you like.
Take a photo for reference.
Carefully use the paintbrush and Mod Podge to glue the flowers into place.
After the flowers have had a chance to dry a little, punch a small hole into the top of the black backing paper.
Cut a piece of thin ribbon or twine about 5 inches long.
Fold the ribbon in half, then feed the ends from the back to the front.
Then slip the ends through the loop and pull tight, creating a tie.

Cut a piece of the laminating sheets larger than you want the bookmark to be.
Peel off the protective backing and place the flowers in the middle in a column on the sticky side.
Carefully place another piece of the laminating sheet on top of the flowers, sticky side down, covering the flowers.
Trim the laminating sheets to the size you like, leaving some room for a hole at the top.
Punch a hole at the top and add a ribbon through the hole as shown above.
