HOW TO MAKE THIS HORTON BOOKMARK FOR KIDS
Download and print out the bookmarks.
Color the bookmarks with crayons or marker.
Cut the bookmarks out and hole punch the hole at the top.
Fold a piece of cardstock in half and then over until it’s been folded four times total.
Wrap thread around the cardstock until your desired thickness has been reached. Forty times seems to work perfectly.
Carefully slide the thread off the cardstock and do not allow it to close together. Keep the loop open. Cut the thread from the spool.
Gently slide thread through the loop and leave it hang.
Cut a long piece of thread and start wrapping it around the top as you see in photo. Secure by tying a knot. Trim off the excess thread.
Take your scissors and slide them into the middle of the loop and cut the bottom of the loop to create a tassel.
Tie a knot into the piece of thread you left hanging and then loop it through the hole in the bookmark.
