(Book)marking a Tale of Romance

If you are a Twilight fan, an appropriately-themed bookmark is a perfect addition to your book collection. The nice thing is that you can make your favorite kind of Twilight bookmark without having to pay a lot of money. Here are three DIY bookmarks you can make to keep your place the next time you reread the story!

What Are the Twilight Book Covers?

The colors red and black have come to be associated with the Twilight theme. The covers of the novels are mostly colored red and black with some white. These will be the colors for these DIY projects. If you prefer other colors, the colors white and blue can also be associated with Twilight, and the colors white and red has also been to match it as well. There is truly no limitation on color preference, after all, Bella always refers to Forks as moss-colored green, and the Cullen’s eyes are gold. As for the book covers, they have a black backdrop with a picture belonging to each title. For those who need reminding of the book cover images, here it is.

Book Cover Images:

Twilight: Pale hands holding out a red apple.
New Moon: Tulip losing a petal. The tulip is red and white.
Eclipse: Red ribbon coming apart.
Breaking Dawn: Chessboard, displaying a white rook and red pawn.

The book covers of the Twilight Saga, each image represents an installment of the story. The Apple, a tulip, red ribbon, and the chess pieces. The covers are mostly red and black.

1. Twilight Ribbon Bookmark

This one is a creative bookmark that will hold the place where you are reading. The red ribbon is reminiscent of the Eclipse ribbon.

What You'll Need:

Ribbon
Button
Hair Tie

Step 1

Measure the red ribbon. I like to do it two lengths of the front cover of the book I am reading. Choose the desired book of your choice.

Measure the red ribbon twice the length of the cover, of the novel of your choice.

Step 2

Take hair tie and sew on one end of ribbon over it.

Sew a hair tie on one end of the ribbon.

Step 3

Sew a button on the other end. I chose a fancy button, but a flat button is easier to attach a picture like we will do in the next step.

Sew a button on the other end of ribbon. A good sized button for the hair tie to fit over.

Step 4

Use a Twilight sticker to stick to the button.

I used a Twilight sticker, but you may use any little Twilight picture and hot glue it on.

Step 5

Choose the spot of the novel of your choice where you've stopped reading and place the bookmark inside. Pull the hair tie over the button on the front cover of book.

This bookmark fits perfectly over the cover of a novel, and holds the spot one has left off reading.

2. Lollipop Bookmark

This is an easy DIY. All you need is a lollipop stick and black paint.

The large sized lollipops work best for this craft.

Step 1

Take lollipop sticks and paint them black. Let them dry.

Black paint is best to appear as the Twilight book covers.

Step 2

Attach and paint the front covers of the Twilight series onto the tops of lollipop sticks. There are those who have used actual miniature pieces of doll house products or polymer clay. I used paint and little pieces of felt. I used a tiny red ribbon for the Eclipse bookmark.

Paint and felt are perfect to represent the book cover images.You may use Polymer clay to make the little pictures, for an even fancier bookmark.

3. Breaking Dawn Bookmark

What You'll Need:

Felt
Ribbon
Tassel

Step 1

Cut a piece of black felt 19.5 cm by 7 cm.

Cut a piece of black felt to the size of a bookmark.

Step 2

Cut the shape of the rook chess piece out of white felt. I drew the shape onto white felt first to cut out, but you may print out the rook chess piece from the internet to the desired size. Then, glue the rook onto the black felt.
