DIY Bookmark

Join us at Wessex Hall JCR on Saturday, January 27th, for a creative afternoon of bookmark crafting! Discover the joy of making your unique bookmarks using various materials.

Create a stylish string bookmark in just 5 minutes by cutting a piece of satin ribbon or a string. Wrap the ribbon around a pendant and tie a knot for a simple yet elegant look. For a more creative touch, consider attaching one or two iron-on patches to the ribbon using fabric glue.

Alternatively, complete your personalized felt bookmark within just 30 minutes. Cut out the provided patterns, then swiftly use fabric glue to adhere them together.

You can also sew your design for a vibrant and personalized bookmark that reflects your unique style.

All materials needed for these crafts will be provided, and our crafting event will be complemented by snacks and cold drinks. Please note that this event is exclusively for University of Reading halls students.

Don't miss out on this opportunity to unleash your creativity and make your own fascinating bookmarks!

*Please note this is for University of Reading halls students only.
