Tutorial: Kawaii animals paper bookmarks


This tutorial is for my little friend Alexis whose grandma is a dear friend of mine.
(CATHYSWOE--Or Mimi as I call you ^^ I just want to say I love you a lot and I really enjoyed making this tutorial for your little one. And don't worry Siani,I'm making you a great tutorial too! ;D ) 
Okay Alexis first you have to gather these supplies:
Pencil & Ink pen/thin sharpie marker.
Scissors.
Cardstock in any color.
Transparent tape.
Colors. (any type-optional)

 Step #1 
Start drawing your animal's head (We'll be doing a kawaii bunny)

Step #2
Draw the arms (make them a teeni bit long)

Step #3
Draw a long body (like the one I did-this will be inside the book) (as I said,it's for Alexis. ♥ )
Step #4
If you’re using heavy cardstock,skip the next 2 steps.
I was using A4 paper so I just folded the paper for some extra strength. ;)
Step #5
Glue your 2 shapes together.
 Step #6
I added a bit of detail with my watercolors,but it's totally up to you whether to skip this step or not.
I just thought it'd be cute for my wee rabbit to have some blush. ^^
Step #7
Cover your bookmark with strips of transparent tape. (overlap each one slightly)
 Do this for the back too. (press firmly and squeeze out any air bubbles)
 Step #8
Cut around your bookmark leaving a bit of "tape seam" like the photo above. (and below)
 Step #9
Now *carefully* cut around the little arms (this is how your animal would cling to the page--see below picture)
Tadaa :D Here she is. ^^ Smartly pointing to where you stopped. :]

I made her some friends too. :D
Don't be afraid to experiment with many animals,have fun with your little ones too! ;)


Later everyone (Yes Alexis,you too! ♥),
