Thanks for posting these! I was looking for something my son could make that wasn’t too difficult which he could make in mass quantity for his class without getting bored. These fit the bill perfectly. Plus I love that they are functional!

[...] have two daughters who love nothing more than reading and playing library or bookstore. We have made bookmarks on multiple occasions and always with great results. All you really need is card stock, scissors and ribbon – but any other craft or scrapbooking [...]

Great idea! We're stuck inside here in western PA for Snowpocalypse 2010. The kids are on their third snow day in a row, and who knows when the roads will be clear enough to go get storebought valentines? The kids' parties (if they get back to school) are in two days!

I have 3 bored girls holed up with me (my 2 plus a neighbor), and I think they'd love this idea!

They were a huge success. It was fun watching her pass them out and seeing the oohs and aahs over her work today at the class party. Yeah for Olive!

Ugh! Big sis and I made these Martha Stewart Felt Fortune Cookies, and they are a dissappointment b/c they don't seem to stay closed very well and definitely do not hold any kisses. Maybe my wire isn't strong enough.

Anyway, I still have Thursday night and only 15 kids in the class and a cool heart punch, maybe we can pull together some book marks....THANKS for the inspiration!

Design Mom, I saw the pic of your supplies a few posts ago, and noticed that they were from the Martha line available at Michael’s. I, absorbed in my own crafty visions, went to *two* of my Michael’s, only to have employees look with blank stares when I asked about a Valentine’s Day line of Martha crafts. So solve the riddle–where did you obtain your supplies, if they be Martha ones? I would still like some–the Martha ones are great!

A great idea for my 1st grade daughter — she is dying to make her own Valentines this year (instead of cheapy store-boughts) and I was having a hard time coming up with something that she could do (with my help) in a short amount of time. I already have a pack of red pre-cut bookmarks leftover from making Christmas tags which will work perfectly; thanks!
