Looking for a fun indoor activity to do with the kids? Crafts and DIYs are always so fun to do with my boys; they love them. We recently made some adorable personalized bookmarks using our Cricut Joy. They turned out so cute, and all we used was some colourful cardstock. 

The boys both love reading and they are little bookworms; they read multiple books at the same time. Making their own personalized bookmarks was fun and super useful to help them keep their place in their favourite books.

Super easy instructions on how to make these with your kids are below.

Materials

Instructions

1. Open the Cricut Design app and start a new project.

2. Tap "Shapes" and select a square. Unlock the square and transform it into a rectangle. I did ours 2" by 4.5" for the rectangle and the rest 1" or 1.5" for the image.

3. Tap "Image" and find your image. We found all of ours in the image library, you can also upload your own images if you want.

4. Position the image at the top of the rectangular box, leave a bit of the bottom edge on the top of the rectangle overlapping to allow for the image to attach properly.

5. Select both pieces at the same time and tap "Actions", then "attach" and "weld".

6. Turn on your Cricut machine, load the cardstock onto the mat and the machine.

7. Follow the instructions.

8. Peel the bookmark away from the mat carefully, use the weeding tool if necessary.

ENJOY!
