It’s time for another installment of Think Outside the Album<\/strong><\/em>, where we look at different ways to take our digital supplies off the scrapbook page and instead, use them to make the rest of our world just a little bit sweeter!<\/p>\n

We started this series with custom candy bar wrappers<\/a> before moving on to customizing double-walled tumblers<\/a>; and last time, we stepped up the complexity quite a bit with our post on iron-ons for t-shirts and home decor and printing custom fabric for creating apparel and accessories<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This time, I thought we’d tackle a project that’s fun, inexpensive, and incredibly versatile, but above all else, easy<\/strong><\/span>. Best of all, there’s probably only one thing you’ll need to purchase to make these! I bet you already have all the other supplies in your craft stash.<\/p>\n

I’m talking about magnetic bookmarks<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Have you ever seen one? Unlike a standard bookmark which is slid between two pages and can easily fall out, a magnetic bookmark folds over the page and grips it. Thanks to the power of two thin magnetic strips, it hangs onto the page and is much less likely to fall out of the book.<\/p>\n

Now, I know what you’re thinking – and yes, many of us indeed prefer to use e-readers like Kindles, iPads, Nooks, or other tablets, but there are still lots of times a physical bookmark comes in handy. You can use it in your planner or a recipe book, to mark your page in a magazine, or to hold your spot in a binder full of printed information. Kids are still given lots of printed schoolbooks, and college-age students are required to purchase printed textbooks. Many older family members prefer to check out printed library books. All of those situations are fantastic opportunities for using magnetic bookmarks as adorable little gifts!<\/p>\n

This is the kind of project you can make as simple or as complex and over-the-top as you desire. To begin, I’m going to show you how to make a quick and simple magnetic bookmark using only 2 digital elements: a decorative journaling card and a sheet of digital paper. Then, we’ll get a little more complex in our design and create a shaped bookmark. Finally, I’ll wrap up this post with a magnetic bookmark that has a major WOW factor. Let’s get started!<\/p>\n
