Crayon Resist Mother’s Day Bookmark Craft Supplies Needed
- White cardstock
- White crayon
- Watercolors
- Single hole punch
- Yarn – assorted colors
- Scissors
Mother’s Day Crayon Resist Bookmarks Step by Step Directions
Begin by cutting a sheet of white cardstock in half. Then cut those halves in half again. So you’ll have 4 strips.
Now, use the white crayon to draw whatever design you’d like for mom.
Once the design is drawn, gather your watercolors and begin painting the bookmark.
As you paint, the white crayon will show through.
Let the paint dry completely.
When the paint is fully dry, use a hole punch to make a single hole at one end of the bookmark.
Then, snip a long strand of yarn.
Double up the strand, then double again. Twist the strands together so they go through the hole easier, and guide the strands through the hole.
Put your fingers through the loops of the yarn.
Guide the other ends of the yarn through the loops and gently tighten the yarn against the bookmark.
Finally, trim any excess yarn.
You’ve now made a special bookmark just for mom that she can cherish with every turn of the page.
