I have so many small extra pieces of paper and ribbon from other DIY but I don’t know what to do with them. Throwing them out seems like a waste so I’m trying to find different ways to use them up. I made bookmarks with these leftover scraps.
I first start off with a long rectangular strip of card stock paper. Then, I punched in a shape using a paper punch/shape cutter (which I used in this post) towards one end of the strip and a hole on the other end. After placing a small piece of ribbon through the hole, the book mark is complete. Alternatively I could use this as a name/address label for my luggage as well.
What do you usually do with your leftover materials?

Thank you. Haha I try to use them if possible but if not, they pile up on my desk. I really need to find a box of some sort to keep all these things

Well when they’re pretty it can be hard to just throw them away, I’ve quite a large amount of card and paper just big enough that I can’t just throw away but small enough that figuring out what to do with them is tricky 🙂

I am a hoarder of my DIY leftovers. Unless they have literally become threads, I tend to keep them for usage later. 😛

Super pretty & so easy! I would definitely be using such a cute bookmark more often. I have a few lovely ones from NYC and Gorjuss but always forget to stick them inside the book. Got an awful habit of folding the corners. Must make this one!! 🙂
BTW, have you heart about Halloween bookmark DIYs? Whenever I was teaching, I did a lot of crafts with my students (of different ages), we esp enjoyed Halloween ones 🙂

I’ve definitely got some ideas to make some cute cards for friends/bookmarks using this idea! I’ve got so many of those shape cutters leftover from childhood I can’t image why I never thought of this sooner. Could play around with fabrics and not just paper too!
