Because everyone and their brother makes a New Year's resolution to read more (yours truly included), here's something to help you out: a bookmark tutorial.
You'll need cardboard (I used a leftover mailer), paint, a paintbrush, a pen and scissors.
Trace the template onto your cardboard (full size = about 1 3/4 by 4 inches). Cut out, then carefully make a slit for both arms, slightly rounding out the hands once free. After you've cut out the figure, fill in features with a pen and add accents with paint. Let dry.
To use, place arms over the page you want to mark, slipping the body a few pages behind. Happy Reading!

Yes! These are great. Love the cardboard brown and gouache colors together. Also, your characters!
Oh my goodness, I love this! I'm going to make some tonight!
I'm officially obsessed with this. So adorable - and I highly support the idea of more illustration based DIYs! More more!
