I thought of a really neat idea for my grandpa today – a homemade bookmark! My poppa loves to read, so this is perfect for him.  Want to make one for the bookworm on your list?

 

What you need:

 Cardstock in two colors, embroidery thread in two colors, one-hole punch, ruler, scissors, craft glue

 

What you do:

  1. Cut out a rectangle that’s 8 inches long and 1.5 inches wide.
  2. Cut out another rectangle that’s 9 inches long and 2 inches wide.
  3. Mount the smaller rectangle on the larger one.
  4. When the glue is dry, punch a hole at the top of the rectangle.
  5. Take your embroidery thread and cut six pieces; three of each color. Each piece should be four inches long.
  6. Put your embroidery threads through the hole and tie a knot at the bottom of the threads.
  7. Decorate your bookmark to suit the recipient of the gift.

      It is this thing that Ganz does on the Webkinz My Page. Every day there is a different ”Member of the Day”. I think they just pick an account to be member of the day. It is like where you can get tons and tons of comments and tons and tons of friends. And my meganlovescheetahs account is member of the day. On my 1000Silverstar account, I commented on my meganlovescheetahs account and in less than 20 minuets, there was 30 more comments. -Moonstar◙◙◙

          Cool bookmark! Believe it or not, I LUV glitter. I’m like a super tomboy (which means I have more guy friends then girl friends and I play football LOL) but I just luv glitter and sparkles. BUT I do hate pink. Well I do wear it sometimes, but I like purple and black better. ;) What are your guys favorite colors?

          *Luv from LillyLuvie*

          • WebkinzWizard :) says:

            My favorite color is Turquoise, lillyluvie. ;) I too don’t like pink very much, but my sister likes it A LOT!

      • krystalkat says:

        I get free bookmarks from the library because I love reading and i visit alot. :mrgreen: The bookmarks have all the new movies on them. Theres no trophy for it because I was the member of the day in July and I didnt get one.

        • Moonstar says:

          Ok. I don’t really care. . . Oh and Lillyluvie, it would have been nice if you atleast said anything to my small problem. But no. . .My fav. color is cerulean blue and silver.
          Do you think that the eStore Grey Wolf will be in the Webkinz World eStore? I want to get it and name is Hunter or Zach. But only if it goes to the Webkinz World eStore. -Moonstar◙◙◙

          • lillyluvie says:

            I don’t know if there is a trophy or not. That’s why I didn’t say anything but it doesn’t matter oh well. Don’t gotta be mean. :/

            *Luv from LillyLuvie*

          • Moonstar says:

            Oh, sorry if I sounded rude lillyluvie, I promise I wasn’t trying to be. I really still think there is a trophy for that because I kinzapediaed it up and there is a trophy. -Moonstar◙◙◙

          • lillyluvie says:

            Oh no don’t feel bad its okay! ;) I didn’t even know there was a kinzpedia lol! I do not know if there is a trophy but there MIGHT be! I’ll have to check hope you find out!

            *Luv from LillyLuvie*

          • krystalkat says:

            Moonstar, i checked the e store pets and they do have the wolf. ~KK♥

          • Moonstar says:

            I know, but not on the eStore in your account. On the real eStore, I know they have it but I am saving that one for a pet super cool. -Moonstar◙◙◙

    • Moonstar says:

      Is there a member of the day trophy? If so, how do you get it? My meganlovescheetahs account is member of the day on Webkinz My Page, but I thought you got a trophy! -Moonstar◙◙◙
