Keep kids entertained with a DIY that will encourage summer reading, and possibly even drum up some excitement about back-to-school season!
✂️ Supplies:
- Fresh, non-toxic botanicals
- Paper towels or wax paper
- Cardboard & heavy books (or a flower press)
- Bookmark base (Heavy cardstock works best!)
- Mod Podge or clear glue
- Paintbrush or sponge brush
- Ribbon
🔖 Instructions:
Collect a handful of herbs, plants, and flowers.
Then, press them between two pieces of wax paper or paper towels using a few heavy books as a weight on top. They should be dried and fully flat in about a week.
Once they’re ready, arrange and glue them onto a heavy cardstock bookmark and seal with Mod Podge.
Optional: Hole punch the top and add a ribbon for a lovely flair.
