Button Bookmarks
This super simple craft is sure to pretty up your summer read!
You don’t need many supplies! Grab some fabric scraps, a covered button kit, and some blank bookmark clips. You will also need a glue gun and needle nose pliers.
To make this craft really easy make sure you get a covered button kit that requires no tools. These can be found at a fabric or craft store.
Remove the shank (metal piece inside of the top button piece) with needle nose pliers.
On the back of the covered button package it will give you a template so you know how big to cut the fabric you will use to cover the button.
Wrap the fabric around the button. Push the fabric inside, making sure to catch it on the teeth of the button.
Snap the bottom button piece to the back of the button.
Hot glue the button to the blank bookmark clip. How simple is that?
Now you are ready to getting reading!
What are you reading this summer?

These little bookmarks are fabulous. I think I will make several and color code them, and then use them as menu markers in my favorite cookbooks!
Cheryl, good luck on settling in! Moving is so fun and stressful at the same time!
Color coding is a GREAT idea!!
Thanks – I’m about worn out at this point and unpacking is no longer exciting! lol
Very cute! I would love a cheery little bookmark like this poking out from my cookbooks 🙂
