First, you need to make a blank. To do this, draw a rectangle on a sheet of cardboard. Height - 18 cm, width - 5.5 cm. Mark the upper part in the form of an acute angle. Cut out the resulting figure. Apply it to the back of a postcard or other material selected in advance and trace in two copies. Glue the cut out parts on both sides of our cardboard blank and leave until completely dry. In order to make it easier to work with the product, it is advisable to use a sewing machine. Stitch our future bookmark along the edges, but without thread, so that holes are obtained. The next step will be working with polyethylene. The finished product must be wrapped in a transparent cover, outlined and cut out. The final chord will be the connection of the cardboard part with polyethylene. To do this, we overcast both parts along the resulting holes with threads, floss or nylon. At the end of the work, we make a knot. As a decoration, we can leave a small piece of thread and fluff it up with a needle. You will get a colored tassel. The product is ready for use.
