Cut the tape and place it down for them, then place (carefully so it doesn't bunch)  on the tape Add another piece to the other side, and its like your book mark is laminated! Now add your hole with the hole punch at the top and add your favorite colour ribbon or yarn

Easy, frugal, and totally fun! These would make awesome little gifts, or toss them in loot bags for birthday parties. You could also make these valentines themed and give them out for valentines day. Your possibilities are endless ;)


As you can see we had a couple that were off center when the kids placed them on the tape, but they still loved them.
