I'm fond of reading novels in paperbacks because I can carry it wherever I go. Before, I only use cut folders as bookmarks but when I saw my friend's cute kitty bookmark, I couldn't stop thinking about it. I've hunted every bookstore for a cheap price but I could only find Php75.00 as the cheapest. So, I made my own.
Monster Bookmark
Materials:

1. Fuzzy wires
2. Cords
3. Glue
Step 1
Bend the fuzzy wire in half. Bend again both side towards the midpoint. This will be the arm.
Twist another wire to the arm's midpoint. It will be the tail or spine.

Take another wire and make it a ball for the head. Then attach it to the arm and spine just by twisting the wire.
Step 2
Cut two small white cord then coil. Glue it to the head and paint dark color to make it look like the eyes.
Take another cord or ribbon to accentuate the neck.
