Grab a bunch of round office stickers in various colors and sizes – the more the better to look like confetti! Stick them all over a piece of cardstock and then use scissors to cut the page down into bookmark-sized rectangles. You can find these round stickers at the office supply store or dollar store (I’ve also had great luck finding them at the thrift store too) but if you don’t have any on hand, you can instead use a hole punch on regular colored paper and glue them in place.

Cut out bookmark-sized rectangles from cardstock and set them aside. Gather up other scraps of paper (construction, tissue, magazines, whatever you have in your craft stash) and cut them into assorted shapes that fit within the size of the bookmark. Arrange the shapes, overlapping them if you like, and glue into place.

On a piece of white cardstock, apply small blobs of acrylic paint in a row across the top. Use a handful of shades and do multiple dots in each color. When applying the paint, the blobs don’t need to be right next to one another, but fairly close. Grab an old gift card and hold the edge perpendicular to your paper, above the row of paint blobs. Pressing the card edge down, pull the card towards yourself and you’ll see the paint come along with it forming a neat sort of rainbow. Let the paint dry completely and then cut the cardstock into bookmark-sized rectangles.
