Example
Example: 12 reading-log bookmarks with each child’s name, six to a US Letter sheet
A third-grade teacher gives each of the 12 children in her reading group a bookmark to list the books they finish. Settings: Plain, with lines; the 12 first names typed one per line (Ava, Mateo, Liam … Ruby); Per page 6; Mark a hole for a ribbon; US Letter.
- Each name goes on its own bookmark in the order typed, in bold on the name line at the top: Ava to Zoe on sheet 1, Elijah to Ruby on sheet 2.
- Under the name come 16 ruled lines, 8 mm apart, for book titles, and a small star at the foot; without the ribbon hole there is room for 17.
- Print at 100% on cardstock and cut along the dashed lines; neighbours share a cutting line, so one cut separates two bookmarks.
| Per page | Each bookmark on US Letter | Sheets for 12 names |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | about 1.9 × 7.1 in (48 × 180 mm) | 3 |
| 5 | about 1.5 × 7.1 in (38 × 180 mm) | 3 (the last 3 keep an empty name line) |
| 6 | about 1.3 × 7.1 in (32 × 180 mm) | 2 |
bookmarks.pdf, 2 Letter pages, 12 bookmarks with 12 names. A bookmark left over on a sheet keeps its Name line empty to write on by hand; up to 60 lines can be typed.
How it works
- Choose patterns, designs to colour in, your own words or plain bookmarks.
- Type names or words, one per bookmark, if you like; choose four to six per page.
- Download, print on card, cut along the lines and punch the hole for a ribbon or tassel.
Frequently asked questions
- What paper should I use?
- Thin card (160–250 g/m²) makes bookmarks that last; on plain paper, glue two prints back to back. Laminating keeps them for years.
- Can I put names on them?
- Yes — choose your words or to colour in, and type one name per line: each bookmark gets its own, great for a class or party favours.
- Are there bookmarks to colour in?
- Yes — flowers, stars, leaves and geometric designs in outline, with a name banner, ready for pencils or pens.
- How do I add a tassel?
- Punch the marked hole, fold a short length of ribbon or embroidery thread in half, push the loop through and pull the ends through the loop.
- How big are the bookmarks?
- All are 180 mm (about 7.1 in) long. The width depends on how many go on a page: on US Letter about 1.9 in with 4, 1.5 in with 5 and 1.3 in with 6; on A4 about 4.7, 3.7 or 3.1 cm.
- What if I type more names than fit on one sheet?
- They carry on to the next sheet, as many as needed, up to 60 lines. With Your words a part-filled sheet starts the list again; with To colour in or Plain the extra bookmarks get an empty name line. Patterns carry no words.
- Is anything uploaded?
- No. The bookmarks are made in your browser.
