Dr. Seuss Bookmark Kid Craft

Kids can help make this simple Dr. Seuss bookmark. They are designed to look like Truffula trees from the Lorax book.

Steps and Supplies:

1. All you need is some 3/4 inch white elastic. Cut a strip about 15 inches, stitch it or tie it together.
2. Then use a yellow colored marker to make the trunk color. Then use a black permanent marker to make the zig zag marks. (I used an elastic that had a pre-printed design. I picked this set up from Pick Your Plum daily deals.)

3.  Then use craft glue or hot glue the Pom Pom onto the elastic. You could also use a small thread and needle to secure the pom pom to the elastic.

Use it to mark your place in a book.

I also found the Cat in the Hat printed elastic on Etsy.  It was only $3.75 for 5 yards.  If you cut lengths of 15 inches to make a bookmark, you can make 10 bookmarks.

PRE-MADE ELASTIC BOOKMARKS/HEADBANDS 

You can buy elastic in a local craft store or search for it online. Search for printed or decorative elastic.

I got the zig zag ones from Pick Your Plum. 

I also found fun elastic headbands at our dollar store that are the perfect size for bookmarks.  Look how beautiful this flower one looks.

You can also get pre-printed Dr. Seuss elastic bookmarks from Geddes gifts online (not sponsored). They sent me a couple to try out but they are a little small.  They would make cute hair bands.  I wish I could find these patterned elastics to make my own larger bands into bookmarks.
