Today I have a little printable for you! This is really easy, and so fun!
Let me start by telling you that the inspiration for this little printable project was a lovely item called Master Magnetics® Flexible Magnetic Tape. My mom gets it for school things, and it is so cool! It is very thin and comes on a dispenser roll. It isn't especially cheap, but you'll love it!
Download the PDF with five designs (bacon, pencil, pickle, bandage, and ruler).
Print on either paper or cardstock. Cut out your pieces.
Fold in half.
Stick a piece of magnet to one side, then take another magnet piece and let it attach (sticky side up) to the first magnet. This is because it needs to find the spot where it will shift and stay.
Now you can fold the paper down to stick to the second magnet piece.
Ready to hold onto a book! This bacon one is my sister's favorite, and is now holding her spot in a Civil War textbook. Love that!
I've got plans for more of these, so if you like them and want more, let me know!
UPDATE: More designs can be found here!
Oh, Mollie! Those are so cute, thanks a million. These are going to make great school gifts. And yes, I'd love more! :0)
ReplyDeleteYay, more! :)
ReplyDeletethese are stinkin' cute! what a genius idea. thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeletethose are so cute. and they would probably leave my books less greasy than the actual piece of bacon I've been using as a bookmark.
ReplyDeleteI bought one of those a couple years back at Barnes and Noble. Thanks for the PDF! You can practically mark exactly where you are supposed to read next.
ReplyDeletethis is so adorable!! thanks for sharing!

ReplyDeleteThanks, Katie. And especially thank you to all!
Thank you so much. I love this and as soon as I can find some of that magnetic tape, I am going to make some of these for friends. Darling idea!
ReplyDeleteHas anyone tried laminating the paper first? Or would that not work so well..?
ReplyDeleteThese are great.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing.
These are so cute! We will be giving lots of cookbooks as Christmas presents this year since my husband has one coming out next month, and the bacon bookmarks would be the perfect accessory!

these are awesome!!
ReplyDeleteif you can't find the tape, would also be a great way to recycle all those free pizza/misc advert magnets from the fridge

I love this idea, I didn't have any card stock so I printed mine out on paper and am planning to glue it to card stock or a magnetic sheet.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great idea
Tina

I really love this. I want to use this in school. but my problem is I can't find a magnetic tape. What will be the best substitute to this magnetic tape? I really need your reply. I can't get over with their cute-ness. :))))
ReplyDeleteYang, you could use regular magnetic strip, but it's thicker so it won't let your book close as flat.
ReplyDeleteYou mean the magnet itself?
ReplyDeleteRight. Magnet strip (the kind on a roll in craft sections) is about 1/16" thick, and you would have two pieces (one for each side), so that would prevent the book from closing flat. It would still close, just not as nicely as with the really thin magnet.
ReplyDeleteSo easy, so simple, so cute, thnx for sharing :D
ReplyDelete♥
ReplyDeleteLove these so much. We are making them tonight with the kids after dinner. :) Would love more designs too!
ReplyDeletelove these thank you, I covered mine in clear book film.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the idea. I won't use your PDF or designs for it, but my own design. I'm launching a comic with a bacon theme and you've inspired me. Thank you!
