MS PAC MAN "GHOST" CREATIVE CORNER CRITTER BOOKMARK

I was inspired by Alexandria's project at CO+K

http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/creative_corner_critters

to make a Ms. Pac Man Ghost Corner Critter bookmark.

It it is made from the corner of a piece of junk mail with the corner rounded for the top of the head and the notches cut out at the bottom, then colored with a red marker and the pupils of the eyes inked in with a pen.

MS. PACMAN BOOKMARK

My all time fav video game is Ms. Pacman so I decided to create this bookmark out of piece of junk mail.

Items used:

• Junk mail envelope
• Scissors
• Yellow highlighter
• Red Marker
• Pen
• Glue Stick
• Large cup (from a fast-food place) to make the half-circle -optional

I used a large cup from a fast-food place to draw the half circle on the corner of an envelope then drew a bow to the side on the envelope.

Just cut it out, color it, draw on eyes with a pen or marker, draw on red lips, then glue the bow on and she is ready to keep mark you pages.

CUTTING CORNERS 2.0 - Decorated Durable Bookmark

This was inspired by "Cutting Corners" by Anna the Ewok here on CO+K but takes it to the next level.

I didn't take pictures of the process as I was going along as this was more of a trial run, but when I make another one I will add them. Based on an original project in a book available here

Items needed:

• Magazine(s) or sale flier
• Envelope from junk mail
• Glue or Glue Stick
• Clear Packaging Tape
• Scissors

Estimated cost to make: Under 5 cents

Cut the corners off of the envelope. Prior to cutting, I lined mine up with the edge of the book, folded it up and cut along the fold.

Pick out the images that you want to put on the corner, cut them out and set them aside. I used pictures and description from a sales flier on mine.

Pick out the background you want for the images. I flipped through a magazine until I found what I wanted then put the cut corner over the edge of the magazine page, then cut along the edge. Do this twice I you will need a background for each side of the bookmark.

Glue the background pieces to the envelope corners.Then glue the images cut out that you selected and glue them on top of the background pieces.Allow to dry for a few minutes.

Straighten up any stray edges or uneven edges with the scissors.

Apply packing tape to the images on both side to protect them for smearing, smudges, wear and tear. One tape is applied to both side, you are done!

"Cutting Corners" Bookmark

This is based on the following project at CO+K

http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/cutting_corners_bookmark

This was made from an old envelope and free stickers that I received from PETA in the mail.

This was super simple and would be a great project for a kid's make and take at a birthday party or school carnival.
