Grab & Go Activity: Fall Felt Bookmarks

11/25/2020

0 Comments

 
Quit dog-earring your books (and ours, too) by creating your own felt corner bookmarks! By following the instructions below, you’ll create your own book-monster or heart-shaped bookmark to slide over the corner of your book, saving your place for later.

Materials
​In Grab & Go Kit:
  • Felt
  • Craft glue 
  • Googly eyes
  • Bookmark template
Needed from home: 
  • Scissors 
  • Embroidery needle and thread (optional)
Instructions: 
  • Based on which type of bookmark you’d like to create, cut out the template included in your grab and go kit (also available here: Bookmark Templates).
    ​
  • Trace the template onto the piece of felt you’d like to use as the main body of your bookmark, and cut it out. ​

  • Create monster parts and decorations for your bookmark by cutting out different shapes and sizes out of your remaining felt. Get creative! A strip of triangles make fun teeth or eye lashes, circles turn into polka-dots, a Y can make a forked tongue, etc.​

  • Fold the main felt piece of your bookmark in half to get a sense of how your completed bookmark will look. Arrange your decorations until you like how your creature looks. With a bit of fabric glue, glue your embellishments and decorations onto your main bookmark - but be careful! At this point we do NOT want to glue both sides of the main bookmark together! It may be easier to leave your bookmark unfolded to prevent accidentally gluing it closed.
    • Looking for a challenge? Instead of using glue, add embellishments and applique details to your bookmark with embroidery instead! Check out this introduction to embroidery and the most common stitches on CreativeBug!* https://www.creativebug.com/classseries/single/embroidery-sampler
      • ​*Login to CreativeBug with your library card number at www.creativebug.org/lib/basaltlibrary 
  • Once the glue from your decorations is dry, glue one edge adjacent to your folded edge shut to create a corner pocket. Allow this glue to dry for 24 hours before using your bookmark!
 
  • Start reading! When you need to take a break, slide your corner bookmark over the front cover and pages read to keep your place.

Marcador de Libro de Tela Projecto de Arte para llevar a casa

Adorne sus libros (y los nuestros también) creando sus propios marcadores de tela. Si sigue las instrucciones a continuación, creará su propio libro con forma de monstruo o de corazón para deslizarlo por la esquina de su libro, marcando la página para leer más tarde.

Materiales para llevar a casa:
  • Tela acolchada
  • Pegamento para manualidades de fieltro
  • Ojos movibles
  • Plantilla de marcador de libro.
Materiales que necesita:
  • Tijeras
  •  Aguja e hilo de bordar (opcional).  
  • Lapicero
Procedimiento:
  •  Escoja  el tipo de marcador que le gustaría crear y corte la plantilla que está  incluida en su kit (también disponible aquí).
 
  •  Coloque la tela en la superficie, y sobre esta, coloque la plantilla, luego trace con lapicero la forma, para usarla como el cuerpo principal de su marcador de Libro y recorte.
 
  • Puede crear piezas de monstruos y decorarlo en su marcador cortando diferentes formas y tamaños de tela que sobre.  ¡Séa creativo!  Una tira de triángulos hace que los dientes o las pestañas sean divertidas, los círculos se convierten en lunares, una Y puede hacer una lengua bifurcada, etc.
 
  •  Doble la pieza principal de tela de tu marcador por la mitad para tener una idea de cómo quedará tu marcador completo. Ubica las piezas de diferentes maneras hasta que te guste cómo se ve tu criatura.  Con un poco de pegamento para manualidades, pegue sus adornos y decoraciones en su marcador principal, ¡pero tenga cuidado!  ¡En este punto NO queremos pegar ambos lados del marcador principal juntos!  Puede ser más fácil dejar el marcador desplegado para evitar pegarlo accidentalmente.
    • ¿Buscas un desafío?  En lugar de usar pegamento, agregue adornos y detalles cociendo y/o bordando.  ¡Vea esta introducción al bordado y las puntadas más comunes en CreativeBug!  * https://www.creativebug.com/classseries/single/embroidery-sampler "Inicie sesión en CreativeBug con su número de tarjeta de biblioteca en www.creativebug.org/lib/basaltlibrary      

  •  Una vez que el pegamento de sus decoraciones esté seco, pegue un borde adyacente al borde doblado para crear un bolsillo en la esquina.  Deje que este pegamento se seque durante 24 horas antes de usar su marcador de libro.

  • ¡Empiece a leer! Cuando necesite parar de leer y tomar un descanso, deslice su marcador de libro hacia la portada por un lado y por el otro, en donde se haya quedado.
