Last Minute Valentine idea for the Book Lover you love...

  IF your Valentine is someone who "still" likes to read actual, real books, this is a wonderful idea.
   First, gather the supplies - you will need an envelope, paper, glue, and a writing utensil if you want to include a note.
   The two bottom corners of the envelopes will make two bookmarks. This is a great use for junk mail envelopes - like if you get a credit card offer with a return envelope, you can use the bottom corners for this project.  Of course, bright, colorful envelopes may make this more fun.
   The paper on top can be solid or patterned, contrasting or even cut out of the same envelope (the flap part). Cut a heart out of the corner, then cut a heart out of other paper, keeping it slightly smaller. Glue the smaller heart on top, and let it dry.
  This is what you will get... Here are my first 3 heart envelope book marks:

  This is how it works- the corner of the envelope slips right onto the corner of a book page to hold the spot.  Another idea - IF you want to write your own note, you can write on either side of the heart.  OR, if you want - use the little slit in the bookmark to insert your own other little love note.  This is what the bookmark will look like when it's in use:

   These are great little valentines (or any holiday gift, even birthdays!) on their own, or, if you prefer, tuck them into another card or gift. You can make them fit any color or other theme.  Enjoy playing around with your own ideas for this project.  HAPPY Valentine's Day to you and yours; and HAPPY READING to all!
