Patriotic Bookmark Printable

Word Nerds outnumber Math Geeks in our house 3-2.  Those of us on Team Words read multiple books each week, and love a fun place-keeper to mark our spots for later.  Sure, we could grab a grocery receipt or dog-ear a corner (gasp!) but there’s just a special feeling of having a great bookmark when cozying up with a new book.

Instead of making a themed-pattern patriotic bookmark, I decided on one that looks like an icon of July 4th celebrations. The firecracker!  I’m not about to set off real ones of my own, so my bookmark firecracker gives some bonus holiday festivity, and lets me keep all my fingers.  Win!

Can’t make your patriotic bookmark right now? No problem, I know you’re busy. Pin it on your patriotic craft board so it’s easy to find when you’re ready.

Tips for Making Patriotic Bookmarks:

  • Start with a great cardstock, especially if you decide not to mat the firecracker bookmark on another color. I always choose a premium bright white 110lb cardstock because it’s sturdy and holds up nicely without showing much wear. I use this heavy white cardstock in all my printable coloring bookmarks.
  • Bookmarks are a great way to use up smaller cardstock scraps. Since bookmarks are only 2×6″, they’re the perfect way to use colored paper strips from other projects.
  • Using glitter ribbon or metallic embroidery floss to make your bookmark tassel will give your bookmark the extra sparkle reminiscent of July 4th fireworks. It’s an extra touch that will make you smile when you think of how clever you are.
