All opinions are 100% mine.
I am currently in the middle of a good book and I have been using the dust cover flap as a book mark. But I am about half way through the book and I realized that this is becoming less and less effective. I knew I needed a book mark, but I didn't want to pay a lot of money for one! I also wanted it to be cute. These two things are surprisingly hard to find in a bookmark: cheap and cute! So I decided to make my own!
And with just a few supplies (most of which I already had on hand) I created a bunch of really cute Stamped Washi Tape Bookmarks!
I am slowly growing a stash of washi tape that I love! And the more I use it, the more I love it! I was pretty excited to find out that Duck Brand® now makes washi tape!! (There are more new cute Duck Brand Craft Tapes such as glitter tapes, fabric tapes and prism tapes! But that's a whole different blog post 🙂
To create your own Stamped Washi Tape Bookmarks, you will need:
- Alphabet Stamps
- Black Stamp Pad
- Craft Paper Tags, or create your own
- Duck Brand® Washi Tape
- Baker's Twine
To create your book marks, you will simply use your stamps to stamp a word, phrase or saying on the paper tags. I made a few that said "read," "relax," and "dream." But yours can say whatever you prefer!
Then I decorated the bookmarks using this cute Duck Brand® black and white polka dotted washi tape! And I added a splash of red and white baker's twine through the hole at the top!
And in literally less then 5 minutes, I have a whole stash of cute bookmarks to use!
Can anyone guess what book I'm reading!?

Very cute idea. I like those tags. Where did you purchase them? This would be a fun project to do with kids. I think mine would love making these for themselves and their friends. Kathy
