paint swatch bookmark

Since I've been on a paint swatch kick, I figured...why stop now? If the paint swatch notebooks aren't your cup of tea, maybe you'll like this project better for using up your leftover paint swatches.

Cute and simple right?

____________________________________________________

Here's what you'll need to make your own:

Paint swatches

transfer carbon paper

hole punch

ball point pen

piece of ribbon or hemp

design of your choice

____________________________________________________

[1] Start by picking out your paint swatch (so many colors to choose from!)

[2] Cut out a piece of carbon paper to fit your paint swatch. 

Roughly cut out your design while you're at it.

[3] Place your design on top of your carbon paper and place that on top of your paint swatch.

Using your ball point pen, trace the lines of your design.

[4] Punch a hole in the top of your bookmark and tie some ribbon or hemp through the loop.

I did a few square knots to finish mine off.

Now all you need to do is sit down with a good book.

...or make a bookmark for every book you own. You decide.
