I found that I had a pile of 2″ by 7″ trimmings from cutting my paper down to Christmas card size. Do you cut paper to size and have a similar pile of waste paper?
I was printing 5″ x 7″ cards with some Tyvek® stencils.
The paper trimmings are the perfect size for bookmarks. I could use these as gifts and marketing materials at local shops.
Tyvek® stencils for gelatin printmaking.
I used a hole punch and some matching twine to finish off the bookmarks.
