How to Make a Saint Patrick Clover Book Mark (the Easy, Fast and Beautiful Way!)

Last week I was at Home Depot…

trolling the paint department once again!!….

I picked up some paint chips…

in shades of green….

…with an idea to make this:

Easy, fast and beautiful Clover book mark in 20 minutes flat!

Update!  My Saint Patrick’s Day Book Mark Tutorial is featured in The Saturday Evening Post!  What an honour!

This fast and easy craft s a great teacher’s gift!

Fun craft for the kiddos to make too!

Cost = Free!

Time = 20 minutes or less!

Skill Level = Way easy!

1 paint chip will make several book marks!

Supplies:

1 Paint chip card

Embroidery floss in green – Eight inches long

Photocopy of Clover shape

Scissors

Hole Punch

Pencil

Tutorial:

Find a clover shape on the internet and photocopy.

Cut out.

Using pencil, trace outline onto Paint chip card so that two colors show (I made sure that ‘Elf hat’ was included for a touch of Saint Patrick!).

Cut out.

Punch a hole in one of the leafs.

Fold Embroidery Floss in half and tie ends in a knot.

Wrap Embroidery floss through hole to secure.

Done!

Did I mention this was Easy, Fast and Fabulous!!

Here’s my Saint Patrick book mark, marking a page on a Fashion-Forward Farmhouse Kitchen in my Candice Olson Kitchens book:

 

Here it is marking a page in an issue of Style at Home magazine – (luv this mag do you?)

I think I’ll make some more with my son for teacher’s gifts!

Even with the convenience of e-readers today, I still enjoy reading an actual magazine or book – do you???
