Makin's Clay® Book Marks

Today we are sharing how easy it is to make book marks with Makin's Clay®.   These are great projects for crafters of all ages.  They are also an affordable project to use as a fundraiser activity as 14 book marks can be made from a single 120g package of Makin's Clay®.  One high school Prom Committee was challenged with finding a location outside the school to hold their Prom.  They created Makin's Clay® book marks in school colors and sold them for $1 each to raise money for a venue and beverages for their High School Prom.   They were successful in raising enough money to sponsor the event!

Roll clay to approximately 1/8" thick with Ultimate Clay Machine™ (setting 1) or with hand roller.

Create a chipboard template 1 1/2" x 5".  Place onto rolled clay and cut around to create basic bookmark shape.









From here, the sky is the limit!  There are many ways to decorate your book marks - such as adding texture by placing a Makin's® Texture Sheet over the clay and pressing lightly to transfer the texture (this can be done before or after your book mark is cut from rolled clay).

Use Makin's® Clay Cutters to cut shapes from your book mark to create negative space accents, or add cut pieces back on to your book mark for accents.







Add rubber stamped accents - rubber stamps  are a great way to add texture to stamps when used uninked, or color when you stamp with a permanent ink pad like Clearsnap® ColorBox® inks.

Make a hole to add the ribbon or fibers to your book mark.  Holes can be made when clay is wet with a straw or other tool, or after with a hole punch as Makin's Clay® remains flexible and can be cut with craft punches or die cutting machines after drying.
