DIY Colorful Stack of Books Bookmark for Book Lovers

DIY Colorful Stack of Books Bookmark for Book LoversThink of this bookmark as a mini bookshelf you can carry between the pages.

Each bright spine represents another story waiting to be discovered, and the cozy teacup on top hints at the joy of reading with a warm drink.

Bonus, the design is playful yet functional, making it the perfect craft for gifting to fellow readers or keeping for yourself.

It’s simple to create, but it looks so striking that people will think it came straight from a boutique shop.

Materials Needed

  • White cardstock or thick paper (8.5″ × 11″)
  • Printable or hand-drawn stack of books design (approx. 6″ × 2″)
  • Colored markers, pencils, or watercolor paints
  • Black fine-tip pen for outlining details
  • Scissors
  • Hole punch
  • Ribbon or mesh lace (8″ length)
  • Optional: Clear laminating sheets or contact paper for durability

Step-by-step Guide

Step 1: Print or hand-draw the stacked books design onto white cardstock. Keep the height around 6-7″ so it fits neatly in books.

Step 2: Use markers, pencils, or watercolors to color in each book spine, making them as bright and unique as you like. Then add little lines or titles for extra charm.

Step 3: Carefully cut around the outline of the stack, following its curves for a more dynamic look.

Step 4: If you want your bookmark to last longer, laminate it or cover both sides with clear contact paper before trimming again.

Step 5: Punch a small hole at the top, just above the teacup.

Step 6: Thread ribbon or mesh lace through the hole, tie securely, and trim the ends neatly.

Step 7: Slip it into your current read and enjoy the playful burst of color peeking from the pages.

Tips:

You can make several bookmarks at once with different color palettes like pastels for calm readers, bold neon for energetic personalities, or earth tones for classic lovers.
