DIY Confetti Bookmarks Are Totally Extra (In a Good Way!)
Your kids are going to love making these DIY confetti bookmarks with a twist. They feature a clear center that is fun to decorate. So easy!
Skills Required: None. Any skill level can make these bookmarks, even if you’ve never crafted before. I would say this project is great for kids ages 5 and up – and adults too, of course!
If you’re anything like me, you’ve got a book (or three) lying around at all times—and probably a random receipt or scrap of paper marking your place.
Let’s fix that with these DIY confetti bookmarks! They’re not just cute; they’re shakeable and sparkly, and they add a little party to your pages.
The best part? You don’t need any fancy tools or advanced crafting skills to make them. Just some cardstock, clear plastic, and a bit of tape, and you’re in business!
These are the perfect quick craft for kids and adults alike. Make them as bold or minimal as you like—use bright confetti for a pop of color, metallic sequins for a little glam, or even cut up construction paper shapes for a totally custom look.
They also make awesome gifts! Think teacher appreciation, book club swaps, party favors, or even a fun way to add a personalized touch to a new book for a friend.
You can add names, quotes, or just go wild with color. Whatever your style, these bookmarks will bring a little extra joy to every reading session.
So grab your supplies, let’s get crafty, and get ready to add some sparkle to storytime!
