Corner Book Marks....great for a small teacher gift

  I made these two corner book marks for Liam's teacher as a beginning of the year little thank you, or should I say "un petit Merci beaucoup" now that he is in french immersion.  They are very easy to make and can be made in such a variety of colours and patterns.  It is a very easy pattern to follow.  Cut out a square (3") a small triangle (divide a 3" square in half) and a larger triangle (divide a 4" square in half).  You can decorate it however you like.  I just kept it simple and punched out flowers and used the same autumn colours (CTMH Olive and Sunset) and stamped some nice sentiments on the front and a design on the back.



Cut two 3" square and one 4"square.














Cut one of the 3" squares and the 4" square in half.






Ink your edges and decorative shapes. 






Attach your pieces together with your favourite adhesive.  I used a CTMH glue to make sure they stick together because they will hopefully be well used.  Stamp on any sentiments you would like and add any extra sparkly embellishments and you are done. It is that easy!!!
