Sometimes, I feel like there is so much paper in my life -- paper bags, catalogs, junk mail and ticket stubs. And you know that throwing them out is not my first option. To turn them from blah to TADA!, my go-to idea is to turn them into bookmarks.
This has got to be one of the cutestpaper bags out there.
So I took my favorite graphic from thebag (the spoon!) and made it into a bookmark.
I cut it out and mounted it on cardboard.
TADA! It does a great job marking pages inmy favorite cookbooks!
Thats a really smart idea.
ReplyDeleteAnd that cake in the book looks so delicious, to bad I cant read the recipe:)
Super cute - wonderful bookmark for the cookbook? You know what I do to protect these kinda of bookmarks (I often make them from cards) I laminate them with packing tape (since, I don't have a fancy laminating machine)...
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Fi! The recipe is called "Chocolate Raspberry Pavlova" from Nigella Lawson's "Forever Summer" book :)
ReplyDeleteHowdy Melissa! I don't have a laminating machine either...I would love to borrow your DIY laminating trick :)
Thanks girls for visiting me on this lovely Monday morning!
I love this one!
ReplyDeleteHi Claire- I just created some cookbook markers for downloading, but this spoon from the Trader Joe's bag is perfect and very "green" too. I want to go get one of those bags. I will have to look through my bag stash to see if there are any cute graphics I can cut out. You are so clever.
ReplyDeleteIngenious! What a great little idea.
ReplyDeleteSo happy you like my little bookmark Kara & Carmie! Thanks for coming over :)
