Bookmark Printing Tips
Printable bookmarks can be an incredibly simple project—just print on regular paper, cut, and go—or you can put in a little extra care to make a bookmark with a longer shelf life (pun intended). All of the suggestions below work with a regular inkjet printer.
1. Print on cardstock for a sturdier bookmark.
2. Print on glossy photo paper for a slick look. Note—don't use this if you want to color in your bookmark.
3. Use regular printer paper, then glue your bookmarks to construction paper to make them more sturdy. This is an especially cute look for kids' bookmarks!
