Supplies

Things required to make bookmarks:-

• White paper / Cardboard paper

To make these cute bookmarks, you’ll need your choice of paper. You can use any type of paper you have on hand—color or plain, patterned or solid. Patterns are fun for kids and families, but if you want something more subtle for yourself, color it in!

• Pencil
• Sketch pens
• Black pen
• A pair of scissor
• Tape

Topic Selection

First, design your bookmark however you like by drawing anything from Santa Claus’ face and hat to reindeer antlers to stockings hung with care. Be creative; there are no rules here!

Draw any characters related to the Christmas theme or any carton characters or a cute animal with hats, muffler, etc.

And if you want to customize it, you can make your own character and give it a Christmas themed outfit.

These are some examples of the characters for your bookmarks:-

• Santa Claus
• Reindeer
• Christmas tree
• Snowman
• Penguin
• Gingerbread cookies, etc.

Draw Outline

The next step is to draw the outline of your doodle.

To do this, use a black pen. Make sure to leave enough space between each line, so that when you color it later, it will be easy for you to see the details of the doodle.

Once you have made the bookmark, cut it out. Leave some white edges on the sides of the drawing. This adds beauty to your drawing.

You need to tape your drawing with a transparent tape. The transparent tape gives a good shine to your drawing.

Draw gridlines on these drawings to give it a good shape of a bookmark.

Hint: You can see the gridlines on the images below, that can help you cut it properly.

Conclusion

Homemade bookmarks make awesome gifts. While you don’t have to go out and buy a bunch of supplies, you could use empty gift wrap rolls or egg cartons and some brightly colored paper or card stock (ideally printer paper) for construction.

You can put pretty much anything on your bookmark—anything at all—and if that doesn’t cut it, try using your imagination to come up with new ideas.

Even just decorating plain white bookmarks makes them more festive and cute; a basic print-out will do nicely in most cases.
