Thumb Page Holder for Reading

This Thumb Page Holder is a simple yet effective tool designed to make reading more comfortable. Holding the pages open with just one hand helps reduce strain and makes reading easier, especially for long periods. I didn't want to spend money on something I could make for free using materials I already had. This project is both eco-friendly and functional.

1. Cereal box-style cardboard
2. Glue (Mod Podge or similar)
3. Scissors or craft knife
4. Cricut machine (optional)
5. Pencil for tracing
6. Paper for decoration

1. Use a Cricut or trace and cut by hand.
2. Measurements:
3. Length: 8.35 cm (3.29 in)
4. Width (thickness of the finished holder): 1 cm (0.39 in)
5. Height: 3.5 cm (1.38 in)
6. Thumb hole diameter: 2.1 cm (0.38 in)
7. Cut out about 10 identical shapes (or more for desired thickness).

1. Stack the cutouts neatly and glue each layer together.
2. Trim the edges as needed to ensure a smooth finish.
3. Let dry completely before moving to the next step.

1. Cover the assembled holder with your chosen decorative paper (I used newspaper).
2. Glue the paper securely in place.
3. Use glue for a secure, smooth finish (optional).

Your Thumb Page Holder is now ready for use!
