Happy start of the gift-giving season. It’s such a bittersweet time of the year. There’s something\u00a0fun but overwhelming about holiday gift shopping. Well, don’t worry my fellow crafter. I have a fun and easy DIY gift you can make with a quick trip to your Target Dollar Spot – DIY Shaker Bookmarks!<\/p>\n
Tonight’s htgawcrafting project is Shaker Bookmarks made from Target’s Paper Chain Kit. I saw these during my regular trip through the TDS and thought, “Oooh what cute bookmarks.” Was I surprised when I saw the packet was a Paper Chain Kit of cut paper strips and not bookmarks. So I thought why not turn them into bookmarks? They’re the perfect size, super pretty and a great gift for any bookworm. Plus there are 27 pieces so you can get a loooot of gifts out of this packet. \u00a0Let’s get started!<\/p>\n Screw in the cutting tip to your FUSE Tool and plug it in. It takes awhile to warm up. Set it safely to the side for the time being.<\/p>\n Cut your photo sleeve to measure 1.5″x 8.25″. Your final bookmark\u00a0will measure 1.25″ x 8.25″, but you’re giving yourself a little wiggle room to use the FUSE Tool.\u00a0Here’s a\u00a0little tip: Take advantage of the existing sealed sides of the photo sleeve so you only have to cut and seal 2 sides.<\/p>\n Grab your favorite glitter and sequins and add a few to your sleeve. I love using the Martha Stewart Hexagon glitter for my shaker projects. Super pretty.<\/p>\n Use your FUSE Tool with the cutting tip to seal\/cut the top of your bookmark. Cut away any extra pieces so it measures<\/p>\n Set your eyelet or grommet with the Crop A Dile. Here’s a video<\/a> on how to use the Crop A Dile to set an eyelet or grommet if you need help.<\/p>\n I love, love how these DIY Shaker Bookmarks turned out. These are going to be wonderful add-ons to my holiday gifts. What will you use them for this gift giving season? Gift tags, gifts for your little one’s classmates, co-workers’ gifts?<\/p>\n Let me know! And don’t forget to take a picture of your bookmarks and post online with the hashtag #htgawcrafting.<\/p>\n Happy crafting!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Happy start of the gift-giving season.

To\u00a0Turn It Into A Bookmark<\/h3>\n
<\/a>Now you can leave your bookmark as is or go a little further and add a ribbon. I did because\u00a0I thought it add a nice finishing touch.\u00a0Use a Crop A Dile to punch a centered hole near the top of your bookmark.<\/p>\n
