Recycled bookmark
Earth Day Bookmark
Use an old Christmas Card or Greetings Card that you’d usually throw away or put in the recycling
- Cut a piece off the card about 7-8 cm wide, and as long as you like
- Fold the card in half longwise with the picture on the outside
- Cut slits about half a cm wide diagonally up the card, from the folded side, but don’t cut all the way through – leave at least 1 cm at the end
- Open out the card flat
- Start folding down the upside down V shapes from the top. Fold one, then miss one, then fold one, and so on
- Tuck the pointed end of the folded down V behind the one below to lock it
- When you reach the bottom, stop
- Stick the card onto an slightly bigger card to make a bookmark, or a new card
