Let’s Make Something…

This time around let’s make a cute little magnetic bookmark.  


You will need:

  • Scrap of cloth
  • Self-adhesive Magnetic Tape
  • Glue
  • Scissors


Cut your cloth into a rectangle.  My rectangle was about 5 inches by 2.5 inches.  Cut two small pieces of the magnetic tape to place at the center top and center bottom of the back of your rectangle scrap. Note that magnets can both attract and repel each other so before fixing the magnet bits in place make sure you have them oriented so that when the cloth bends over and they are brought together they attract. Use the magnet tape’s adhesive property to fasten into place. Fold one half of the cloth over to the middle and stick down with the glue.  Do the same with the other half. You now have a 5 inch long tube of cloth with magnets at either end.

To use the bookmark simply fold it over the top of the page you wish to mark allowing the magnets to attach to each other through the page.
