DIY Minion Bookmark: A Fun and Easy Craft for All Ages
During one of my late-night Pinterest scrolls, I stumbled
upon a delightful DIY Minion bookmark that instantly caught my eye. I searched for the perfect bookmark design to present at the Davao BloggersSociety Corporate Social Responsibility Program last July 29 at the Field of Dreams Children Charity Foundation, and this charming Minion idea seemed
perfect. Not only is it a fun craft, but it's also a fantastic way to bond with
your kids. Crafting together encourages creativity and, in this case, can also
promote a love for reading. Whether you’re making it for yourself or with your
little ones, this DIY Minion bookmark is a simple yet delightful project that
will bring joy to your reading sessions.
Materials Needed:
Yellow cartolina
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Body
-Start by cutting a strip of yellow cartolina about 5 cm
wide and 16 cm long. This will be the base of your Minion bookmark.
2. Create the Overalls
- Cut a piece of
blue cartolina slightly shorter than the yellow strip, about 5 cm wide and 7 cm
long. This will be the Minion's overalls.
- Cut out a small
rectangle from the top center of the blue strip to create the shape of the
overalls.
- Using glue,
attach the blue cartolina to the bottom half of the yellow strip.
3. Make the Eyes:
- From the white
cartolina, cut out two small circles (about 1.5 cm in diameter) for the
Minion's eyes.
- Stick the wiggle
eye using double-sided tape.
- For the goggles,
cut thin strips of black cartolina and form a band that will go across the
Minion's face, attaching the eyes in the middle. Use glue or double-sided tape to secure them in
place on the yellow cartolina, just above the overalls.
4. Add Details:
- Draw a smile or
any other facial expression using a black pen or cut out half a circle of a
black cartolina to give your Minion some personality.
- Use the black
marker to draw on the straps of the overalls and any additional details like
pockets or buttons.
5. Make the Hair:
- Cut small pieces
of black yarn (about 10-16 cm long) for the Minion's hair.
- Use a puncher to create
a hole at the upper area of the bookmark. Attach the yarn piece to the top of the
yellow cartolina.
6. Final Touches:
- Ensure all the
elements are securely glued and let it dry completely before using your
bookmark.
And there you have it, Lovelies! Your very own DIY Minion
bookmark is not only adorable but also a great way to encourage kids and
even adults to dive into a good book. This craft is perfect for a fun-filled
afternoon with your little ones or as a personal project to add a bit of
creativity to your reading routine. Happy crafting, and happy reading!
