Thumbprint Heart Bookmarks-1

 

Materials needed –

  2. Red , Orange , yellow stamp pad – available at any arts and crafts store
  3. Red satin ribbon cut to length

To make –

Valentine Thumb Print Heart Bookmark

  1. Make the Bookmark – Cut out a 5 inch x 2 inch rectangle from a patterned cardstock or plain white one.
  2. Punch  a hole on top
  3. Place your child’s thumb on the stamp pad
  4. Press Softly , till the thumb print is covered
  5. Stamp onto paper. Slightly tilting Left
  6. Repeat steps 1 & 2
  7. Stamp again onto paper .. this time slightly tilting right and making a heart shape.
  8. It is easier to move the bookmark sideways rather than trying to move the thumb sideways.
  9. Make 3 hearts or more to cover the bookmark.
  10. We made them in two styles. One with a single color – Red . & the other with 3 colors – shaded.
  11. When dry , tie the ribbon and your thumbprint heart bookmark is ready.  Its the simplest, easiest , cutest class gift ever! Isn’t that a fun homemade gift to give to friends?

What do you think? Which version do you like better? Single shade or multi shaded?
