What are the best practices for easy DIY bookmark ideas?

Easy DIY bookmarks come together fast when you start with the right materials and keep the first designs simple.

• Use sturdy cardstock of at least 14pt so the bookmarks do not bend or tear.
• Keep early designs simple: washi tape strips, stamped patterns, or basic watercolor washes.
• Seal or laminate handmade bookmarks if you want them to last more than a few weeks.

When you outgrow one-off crafting and need a larger batch, uploading your design to a print provider and running it on professional stock gives you consistent, durable results at volume.
