Last night, I was exploring tumblr and I came across a post with this cute little monster bookmark. I clicked on the link to the tutorial and fell in love with these little guys. (Check out this girl's etsy shop while you're at it!)
Inspired, I immediately began making some myself. But instead of monsters, I started out making pink girly ones.
I was really impressed by how easy these are to make, although the heart was a little bit more difficult. I could definitely sell these in sets of two (or more!) They would be great as bible bookmarks or a cute little gift for anyone who loves to read.
I used AC Specialty Paper, which is this awesome textured cardstock that comes in a variety of colors. It's great for projects like these because it's thicker and more durable than just regular construction paper.
I decided to try to make my own little monsters too, and they turned out looking like little pacman characters! I just love them, and I'm sure my nephew will too.
I used an x-acto knife for the more difficult cutting, for example, the butterfly and the teeth. And I used scissors for the eyes because they are more efficient for creating curves. The end result: four cute creations!
