How to Make Bible Bookmarks with Qfun Laminator

Learn how to make fun bible verse bookmarks using the Qfun Laminator.

You can make any of your favorite bible verses into a bookmark to keep track of you reading in any book.

Bookmarks are such a fun craft and are easy to make, let's get started!

13 INCH THERMAL LAMINATOR

First off, if you don't have a laminator, they are so much fun!

I would have loved a laminator when I was little, instead I used clear contact paper that my mom had and would laminate all kinds of little art things I drew and colored.

Qfun sent me this beautiful laminator and it's 13 inches wide, which means it can laminate posters and prints that I make!

Here's the link to this purple one: 13 INCH THERMAL LAMINATOR PURPLE

And they just released a white one: 13 INCH THERMAL LAMINATOR WHITE

The Qfun laminator has built in tools right inside the top. Just lift the lid of the laminator for a paper cutter, hole punch and corner rounder...everything you need for this craft in one machine!

Here's a 11x17 poster I printed and was able to laminate perfectly with this Qfun laminator.

Here's the thermal pouches for this size: 100 Laminating Sheets 11x17

THERMAL LAMINATOR (comes with tools too--paper cutter, hole punch, corner rounder and more!)
Thermal Lamination Pouches (30 different sizes are included with the QFun laminator)

Fudenosuke Brush Pen

Step 1: Watercolor Wash on Watercolor Paper

Begin by doing a simple watercolor wash on watercolor paper with the edges of the paper taped down to a firm surface, like a table or a board.

I've got a tutorial on PAINTING A WATERCOLOR WASH here.

Or a post on WATERCOLOR WASH WITH MARKERS here.

Follow those tutorials or use some scrapbook paper as your background and meet me back here.

Step 2: Scripture Verse

Now that you have a background paper ready, you need to pick a scripture or quote that you love...pick from either the new or old testament.

Write them on the watercolor background paper in hand lettering or just in your own hand writing.

Here's some good choices:

My sheep hear my voice...and they follow me. --John 10:27
I will be glad in the Lord. --Psalm 104:34
Let us love one another for love is of God. --1 John 4:7

Step 3: Trim Bookmarks

Use the paper cutter to trim down the watercolor paper to the perfect size for a bookmark.

I am doing 2.5x5 inches.

NOTE: If I was doing this with a bible study class or Vacation Bible School or Summer Camp, I would trim the paper down before writing on them, so the artists could fill the paper without having to cut any of it off later.

If you don't have a paper cutter, you can use a straight edge and pencil to mark a line and cut the edges with scissors.

Make as many bookmarks as you want, they are such a cost effective budget friendly craft.

I love paper crafts for this reason.

Step 4: Laminating Time

I love using this Qfun laminator.

It heats up in just one minute, so no need to plug it in hours before to make sure it's hot enough.

It's super space efficient for the size it can laminate, and the top of the laminator opens up and has tools inside--even a paper cutter and a hole punch!

Place the paper inside a laminating pouch, set the laminator to "heat" rather than a cold lamination.

Then insert the lamination pouch into the laminator with the folded/crease edge in first.

It laminates fast and does a fantastic job!

Step 5: Trim up Bookmarks

Now, if you don't have a paper cutter that you love, the Qfun laminator has one right inside the top. Just lift the lid of the laminator for a paper cutter, hole punch and corner rounder...everything you need for this craft in one machine!

Trim up the excess lamination from around the bookmarks, I like to leave about 1/8th inch around all the edges of the paper.

Now use the included corner rounder and round off the corners of the lamination for a professional and smoother finish.

Step 6: Bookmark Tassel

Now mark at the top of the bookmark the half way point with a dot.

Then use the included hole punch from the Qfun laminator, or if you have your own 1/8th inch hole punch, punch a hole where you marked the dot, close to the top edge, but not too close that it will tear easily.

Finally, loop a bookmark tassel through the hole and around itself, pulling it into a larks head or girth hitch on the bookmark.

Then repeat for all the bookmarks you are making, adding different colored tassels to each one.

These little tassels are so much fun, I remember loving them when I was little and loving marking my place with them.

This fun tutorial is all about bible verse bookmarks, but this same technique works perfectly for any paper bookmark, just get creative and have fun!
