Hi lovelies! Today we're introducing our first freebie project of 2024! These cute spring bookmarks will make a great addition to any Easter basket :) It's also a great project for using up those little vinyl scraps.

*Please note this project is for personal use only. Thank-you!
Materials:
- Craft Vinyl ( we used Teckwrap Craft Vinyl, in pastel shades of pink, purple, green, blue, orange and white)
- Transfer tape
- Acrylic Bookmark blanks or any blanks you like. We used 6" by 2" acrylic bookmarks from Amazon
-Scrapper/ weeding tools
-Silhouette or Cricut Cutting machine and mats
-Tassels (Optional)
Step1: Print off the PDF template guide. Tape the guide to your work surface. Peel off the protective film on your bookmarks. Place your bookmark blank over top of the template, tape in place.
Step2: Open the spring bookmarks SVG file in your Silhouette or Cricut software. Ungroup and arrange the elements in the colour groups of your choosing. Delete the bookmark shape, it's just for reference. Cut out strips of each colour of vinyl and attach them to the mat, according to where you have your designs placed on the mat inside the software.
Step3: Cut the vinyl according the suggested settings for your vinyl type. We used Teckwrap Craft vinyl which uses these settings;
Silhouette Cameo 4: Blade Depth 3, Pressure 20
Cricut Maker: Premium Vinyl Holographic Pressure 180-185
Step4: Weed the vinyl
Step5: Cut a small piece of transfer tape. Transfer each of the vinyl elements from the mat to the bookmark using the tape.The template underneath should help you line up where each piece needs to be placed.
Step6: Add your tassel and you're done!
