Trying to come up with a cute, fun and useful item for the Valentine’s Day card exchange at school can be challenging. Pencils are nice, but so many of James’ classmates give them. I sat at the table and stared down the Duct Tape I had. Then I had an idea – Duct Tape BOOKMARKS!

It took awhile to make them work the way I’d envisioned but I finally got it to work and I LOVE how they turned out!
What You’ll Need:
Instructions:
1. Cut a two triangles from your paper (or one corner off of an envelope). Then cut two pieces of Duct Tape. They need to be long enough to cover the triangle.
2. Lay one piece of Duct Tape sticky side up on your work surface. Place the open side of the triangle on the edge of the tape.
3. Put the second piece of Duct Tape on the other side of the triangle.
4. Cut off the excess tape.
5. Enjoy!
Do you think you’d make Duct Tape Bookmarks?

That’s a cute idea. I’ll have to tell my niece because she loves making things out of duct tape.
I love these! Super easy to make too!
These are so cute! I am going to have to make some of my own, I JUST bought some new duct tape!
I love this! I’m always dog earing my book pages which isn’t so great for library books. They would make great valentines gifts or party favors too.
YES! And you could make them to match any ‘theme’ because there are so many varieties of Duct Tape!
They came out so cute. I love how they sit in the corner of the page!
How fun! I love the Batman duct tape. 🙂
Duct tape crafts are my favorite. I love this!!
Very clever and such a great idea!
That’s a cool idea. I like how you made them fit over the pages. I actually made a purse out of duct tape about a month ago.
How fun! I really like the wallets, but they look like too much work for me.
I haven’t made a wallet, but the purse was a lot of work. I’m a crafter, so crafts that take a while don’t bother me. When I’m crafting, I’m happy.
I would LIKE to be a crafter, but they have to be super simple for me to enjoy them.
These look awesome! My son would love these! I have some Spiderman duct tape around here somewhere and I know he would LOVE to have a few of these around to stick in his books. Definitely Pinning this so I can remember to grab some cute duct tapes next time I’m at the dollar store. Thanks for sharing!
Oh these are so neat! I am not too crafty but could handle this one! 🙂
These would be SO cute to give on Valentine’s Day to their classmates instead of candy!! Love them 🙂
This is so cool! The possibilities are endless!
What a neat and fun idea. Great for crafting with boys too. sharing
Thanks for the easy, fun, cheap idea! I just made a couple for my hubby so traditional “grey” seemed perfect.
Love this idea! I’m definitely going to make these for my bookworm grandson.
This is a great idea! I think they would make great gifts for my grand kids and buy a book to go with them too. Thanks.
I’m a mom-mom of six. Four of the kids have either been reading for a couple years or just starting. Only one of them lives near by. This is a great idea I can make and send along with a new book or two. LOVE THIS. Looks super easy. I don’t have a crafty bone in my body!
