Books make lovely gifts. Any handmade bookmarks would certainly make a book more personal and special. Perfect to pop in a Christmas card for the teacher or tuck in with a book for Dad. Easy for children to make as well - they can use scissors to cut it out and all you have to do is cut the slot. For younger children you can do all the cutting and they can do the pasting and decorating.
