DIY Paper Heart Bookmarks

by Katie Wallace | Updated: February 1, 2024

If you love reading and doing crafts, you’ll enjoy making these DIY paper heart bookmarks. Mark your page with a colorful stack of paper hearts and a tassel of bright yarn. Designing these bookmarks is a creative experience anyone can enjoy. Learn how to make a bookmark with paper for yourself, for your friends, or with your kids!

How to Make a Bookmark with Paper

These paper heart bookmarks add a pop of color to a good book. The colored hearts stand out against the white background, accented by a yarn tassel. You can make these paper heart bookmarks to save your spot in a book with a touch of flair!

Choose Your Paper

  • colored/patterned craft paper
  • white cardstock
  • scissors
  • rubber cement
  • yarn or thin ribbon

To make these paper heart bookmarks, you will need craft paper in different colors or patterns, white cardstock, scissors, and rubber cement glue. To make the tassel you’ll need colored yard or thin ribbon. Begin by cutting out several paper hearts that are the same size. Once you’ve cut the first heart, you can use it as a template to cut the additional hearts. Finally, cut a piece of white cardstock approximately 1.5″ x 5″ in size. Through this cute project, you’ll discover it’s very easy to learn how to make a bookmark with paper.

Create Your Design

After you’ve cut the hearts, arrange them in a stack to create your paper heart bookmark design. Using rubber cement, glue each heart onto the white cardstock bookmark. Leave a small space between each heart to make them stand out. You can use craft glue, but this sometimes causes the paper to ripple. Instead, I prefer rubber cement for paper crafts because it effectively glues paper together and doesn’t cause ripples or soggy paper spots.

Decorate with Textured Paper

Once you have designed your paper heart bookmarks, you can decorate them with stickers, ribbon, or glitter paper. I cut some smaller hearts out of glitter paper to decorate the center heart on each bookmark. Glitter paper really makes these bookmarks sparkle!
