Try These Simple DIY Bookmarks From Sticky Notes

Do you lose your bookmarks and find yourself reluctantly dog-earing pages in your books so you don’t lose your place? I did too until I came up with this ultra-easy DIY bookmark idea. Instead of bending pages in your books, make DIY bookmarks instead! 

Have you ever sat down and thought about all the things you can do with sticky notes? The possibilities are nearly endless – just like the number of ways you can use washi tape. Here on POWERGATHER, we’re going gaga for sticky notes and sharing with you ideas of how you can use those little square sticky pieces of paper.

Today it’s all about making corner DIY bookmarks with sticky notes. You’re a book lover, you need them right? I can’t tell you how often I’ve had a bookmark and somehow misplaced it. Don’t ask.

One day I was looking for my trusty bookmark and instead found my pile of sticky notes. The wheels began turning as I worked on a solution for my page-saving problem. I found it! DIY bookmarks were the perfect solution! You can find DIY bookmark ideas all over the place on the internet, but very few are as easy as these DIY corner bookmarks.

Since I’m constantly losing my bookmarks (even nice ones that friends give me), I figured it was time to learn how to make one so that I can replace them anytime I need to.

With only 2 supplies needed for this project, I guarantee it’s super-duper simple! All you need are sticky notes and washi tape. Any craft I share with you has to be super simple because I’m really not a crafty person. I’ve also done a couple of DIY journals, one of them used the same washi tape that I used for this project. That one was a blast!

To stretch my crafting muscles a bit, I came up with this idea for a corner DIY bookmark project.

Step One

Fold a single sticky note into a triangle. Not too complicated, right?

Step Two

Repeat step one. No, really, fold your triangle into a smaller triangle.

Step Three

Use the washi tape to seal the outer edges.

This easy DIY bookmark project was super quick, right? You even ended up with something helpful that you can use in your everyday life. Whether you consider yourself to be crafty or not, wasn’t that fun? With just a little effort, you can find all kinds of crafts and projects to make out of sticky notes. Have a little fun with the kids and get them busy coming up with ideas of things to make! You’ll create memories together and have something to show for your time too.
