DIY-Seed Packet Bookmarks

This easy and fun craft is perfect for gardeners and anyone who has some seed packets laying around. You could use actual seed packets but I wanted a country antique look to my bookmarks so I've provided a full size PDF template that includes 3 old country seed packet designs. Let's get started!

Pick Some Flowers

Go outside and pick whatever kind of flowers you like. You could pick flowers that match the colors of your bookmark or pick a petunia if you have a petunia seed packet. I just picked whatever flowers I liked the most.

Begin Making Your Bookmark

Choose some papers that match your seed packets and glue everything in place. I had a solid background paper and then I placed a patterned paper off-center like a diamond and just lightly glued everything in place. Next, I used my paper trimmer to square up all the edges. I also used a glue stick to hold the flowers in place on the bookmark.

Laminate Your Bookmarks

Laminate your bookmarks and then cut them out leaving about a 1/2 cm of extra lamination around the bookmark. Next, use a hole-punch to punch a hole in the center of the top of the bookmark and I used some thick twine and looped it through the hole. Thanks for viewing this instructable!
