If you'd like, you can cover the entire clear DIY bookmark with a printed vinyl like I did for this one.

[{"selector":"#anim-83dbe41d-25cc-42cb-8f72-4ec0c7a75878","keyframes":[{"offset":0,"transform":"translate3d(0, -263.32496%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(.5, 0, 1, 1)"},{"offset":0.29,"transform":"translate3d(0, 0%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(0, 0, .5, 1)"},{"offset":0.45,"transform":"translate3d(0, -74.046978752%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(.5, 0, 1, 1)"},{"offset":0.61,"transform":"translate3d(0, 0%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(0, 0, .5, 1)"},{"offset":0.71,"transform":"translate3d(0, -25.173866175999997%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(.5, 0, 1, 1)"},{"offset":0.8,"transform":"translate3d(0, 0%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(0, 0, .5, 1)"},{"offset":0.85,"transform":"translate3d(0, -9.453366063999999%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(.5, 0, 1, 1)"},{"offset":0.92,"transform":"translate3d(0, 0%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(0, 0, .5, 1)"},{"offset":0.96,"transform":"translate3d(0, -4.107869375999999%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(.5, 0, 1, 1)"},{"offset":1,"transform":"translate3d(0, 0%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(0, 0, .5, 1)"}],"delay":0,"duration":600,"fill":"both"}] Full tutorial w/ video here!

Smooth it down with a scraper or credit card.

Add the next layers of vinyl. I added a brush stroke over the floral vinyl to provide contrast for the final layer.

[{"selector":"#anim-5673ed5d-9071-4608-b66e-153ab72ae200","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-28a4efc1-0c8c-48a7-bd91-fb2fe493806c","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(93.33333%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8244fd72-c25b-42b1-911b-e695e018321f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-92ef1869-d9d1-424c-9e75-2c070229ffc8","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(138.55423%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bd6fae88-73c8-424e-9aa5-e657a0a405aa","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":250,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Get the full tutorial here!

Finally add your name or word. I used gold glitter vinyl.

[{"selector":"#anim-94b12dfa-f7c9-42a8-99b0-503cbf28da23","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":50,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Full tutorial here w/ video here!

On this DIY bookmark I left most of the Dollar Tree cutting mat showing & added a floral brush stroke to the middle with my name in gold on it.

[{"selector":"#anim-732b9970-ab60-4a15-b709-f3fe7d872535","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d74fd525-76e2-4cec-8ffc-0bd14010960f","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(105.37635%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Get the full video here!

Now, make a tassel with embroidery thread. Leave a skein in tact & cut off 4 6" pieces.

[{"selector":"#anim-040dcc12-e3b1-4306-91e7-cb6dfa1c0c37","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(1)","scale(1.5)","scale(0.95)","scale(1)"],"offset":[0,0.33,0.66,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1450,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}] See the full tutorial here!

Tie a piece around the loop, with the skein still rolled normally.

Tie a second piece 1/4" from the top of the skein.

[{"selector":"#anim-b8f5999a-ea15-4839-9016-9499b6f7cab1","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":50,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Carbon copy tutorial here

Wrap the thread around the tassel and glue it in place. If you have a large eye needle you can feed the end through, but I didn't have one.

Repeat that process on the other end of the skein, then cut them in half to form 2 tassels.

[{"selector":"#anim-1ccf19c9-54b0-41ad-b0e3-bbe08460bcb2","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d5330709-e592-4826-aeca-80f1a5e08d67","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(105.37635%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Get the full video here!
