How to Make a Twilight Bookmark

A bookmark is a small strip made of paper, leather or some other material used to mark your place in a book. It also has a tassel that typically hangs outside the book and is used to pull the bookmark out of the book. You could be looking to gift a Twilight-themed bookmark to a friend who is fond of the movie series. Creating a Twilight bookmark is a simple task.

Instructions

    • 1

      Open in the Paint application any two Twilight images that you would like to use as a bookmark. Launch Paint from the "Start" menu and drag and drop the two images in the white drawing area.

      Adjust the sizes of the two photos. Click a photo and then point the mouse at any of its corners. The mouse cursor will become a two-sided arrow. Press the left mouse button and drag the mouse to adjust the size of the image.

      Repeat the procedure to re-size the other photo so both of them have the dimensions of a standard bookmark. A bookmark can be 3 to 4 inches long and 1 to 1.5 inches wide.

    • 4

      Print the two image files.

    • 5

      Apply glue on the plain sides of the images and stick them together. Wait for the glued bookmark to become dry.

    • 6

      Laminate the bookmark to protect it from water, stains, dirt and damage. You can take your bookmark to any paper and office supplies store to get it permanently laminated for a small cost. A fine plastic coating is used to laminate the bookmark. In the lamination process, the plastic will be heated to a point that it sticks firmly to your bookmark, ensuring that no air bubbles arise during the process.

      Another option is to purchase a small plastic cover slightly larger in size than the bookmark and insert the bookmark into the plastic cover. You can take the bookmark out of its cover at any time.

      Use a hole punch to make a hole near one of the four corners of the glued bookmark.

    • 8

      Insert a small piece of woolen thread through the hole and give it a knot. Your Twilight bookmark is ready for use.
