I love this tear art bookmark project because you can basically do the whole thing with recycled materials! At our house we have a box where we put paper scraps from leftover projects, as well as a larger “create box” of materials (like toilet paper rolls, paper towel rolls, old cereal boxes etc.)
I was searching through our “create box” trying to brainstorm ideas Lucy and her friend could do for art today, when I saw some old, thin cardboard. It seemed like the perfect thickness for bookmarks. Project discovered! (This post contains affiliate links to Amazon.)
