How to Make Heart Bookmarks

One of the best parts of parenting older children is introducing them to novels. Nothing feels more like home than wrapping up in a soft quilt—chapter book in hand—with a little boy snuggled on each side!

Now, typically I’m a “page-folder,” but my oldest recently informed me that, “We shouldn’t fold the corners of the pages because it doesn’t show respect to the book.” (Yeah…that’s the not-so-best part of parenting older children!)

Nevertheless, not wanting to interfere with what he’s learned in school and how we handle library books at home, I agreed. We gathered at the kitchen table and crafted some charming heart bookmarks, perfect for Valentine’s Day!

To Make This Heart Bookmark Craft You Will Need

  • Patterned scrapbook paper
  • Scissors
  • Glue dots or a glue stick

Directions for Heart Bookmark

1. After gathering supplies, invite kids to draw and cut 2 paper hearts—1 large and 1 small.

This craft would’ve been hastened by using heart punches in 2 sizes (large and small), but I taught the boys how to draw and cut hearts the old-fashioned way.

2. Place 3 glue dots equally across the top of the small heart (1 on the left, 1 in the middle, and 1 on the right). Press the papers firmly to secure.
