Cut your paper in a bookmark shape. I used a patterned scissor to make designs on the perimeter. Then, use your hole puncher to make a hole

Time to Say Sorry to That Book

Cut a smaller rectangle from a page of an old book and glue that on to the middle of your bookmark. I added a strip of paper with holes into the middle.

This Is Really Simple

Thread the twine or string through the hole and tie a knot.

Optional

If you want this bookmark to last very long put on a coat of Mod Podge and let it dry for about 1 hour. Mod Podge is basically a solution of water and regular white liquid glue.
