Because this project is so simple, it’s ideal for crafters of all ages and levels — especially kids. This neat, hands-on craft requires only a few simple tools from start to finish for a quick and easy afternoon activity. And although we used a cutting machine for our DIY Papercut Animal Bookmarks using the provided SVG files, you can also print the PDF template and cut yours by hand. Just watch out for little fingers as you work! 

These Diy Papercut Bookmarks make a perfect back-to-school craft for kiddos who want to personalize their supplies.While we kept things classic with solid carstock colors, there are plenty of ways to get fun and creative with this design. Print your bookmarks on white cardstock for a fun cloring-book style option. Or, customize with solid, glitter, metallic, or patterned finishes for even more fun.

Once your bookmark is cut, just fold the paws slightly forward so your animal can give the page a “hug.” How cute is that? Additionally, if you’re organizing school supplies, don’t forget to check out our Printable Back-to-School Labels. They coordinate beautifully with these bookmarks and help make back-to-school prep feel both fun and functional. 

However you choose to make your DIY Papercut Animal Bookmarks, we’d love to see how they turn out! As always, share your creations with us using #MadeWithLia, and connect with fellow makers in our vibrant crafters’ community. Happy reading!
