- Step 6: Cut a long piece of thread and start wrapping it around the top, as you see in the photo. Secure by tying a knot. Trim off the excess thread.
- Step 7: 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.

One other really important thing to remember about making this bookmark is that you can actually laminate it when you're done.
Make sure that the kids decorate and color it how they want, and laminate it before adding the tassel. This is the perfect way to be sure that the bookmark will last for a long time and won't be ruined by tears, crumples, and stains.
