Travel Themed Bookmark Set (5)

These bookmarks were so fun to make! They are 3-4 layers each and we cut them out of paper from Hobby Lobby and used a glue stick to glue them together. Imagine using other thin materials like flex from Smokey Hill Designs, layering a pattern with a solid, etc! They could look incredible! And they could be fun enlarging and cutting out of wood for wall hangings and more! Learn more under the Project Details tab.

* This is a file to cut on your laser. There aren't any physical items included. *

Project Details

NOTES:

• Each bookmark comes with a multi-layered version and a single layer version.
  
• We used paper from Hobby Lobby that we cut on our Mira 9. If you have a Glowforge, you can use the built-in paper settings to cut, score, and engrave paper.
• These would be a lot of fun to cut larger and out of different materials to hang on or lean against a wall or many other applications!
