Eyes here, bookworms. Bookmarks are essential if you are a reader. Everyone probably knows what it is by now, so a description is not really necessary here. Everyone’s preference in bookmarks differs though. Some people choose to buy them in bookstores, others use day-to-day items, and others make one themselves.
Here are the easy steps on how to make and customize your own bookmark in Microsoft Publisher.
That should be easy to do. Double-click on the Publisher icon on your desktop. If it is not there, check your Start menu and refer to the Microsoft Office folder.
Hover your mouse track to the template’s list and click “More Blank Page Sizes.” After that, go to “Customs” and click “Create new page size.”
In the “Name Section,” go ahead and fill in a name of your choosing. Proceed then to the “Page” section, and set the width to 2 inches, and the height to 7 inches. Click “okay,” then click the “Create” button to finish the template of your bookmark. Now, you are ready to design it.
During this part of the creation of the bookmark, you can choose to have your own photo as a background for the bookmark or choose from the design materials provided by Publisher. To use these, go to the “Objects” tab to add texts and designs to your bookmark.
Once you are settled with your design, press Ctrl + P to print your bookmark. Choose “Multiple Copies Per Sheet” if you want to have backup bookmarks to save paper.
This is your run-of-the-mill bookmark, with designs and quotes that encourage reading. We are unsure of the effectiveness of the motivational aspect of these kinds of bookmarks, but it is certainly pleasing to look at.
If you own a bookstore or are running a book sale in your garage or wherever, it might also be great to make these kinds of bookmarks for that very event. You can either use it an as an invitation or just straight out sell them.
If you are planning to have bookmarks as some kind of gift, then this is a template you can follow. It is a great gift for someone if he or she constantly reads and has an absolute love for it.
This is another way to utilize a bookmark as an invitation. This time with mention of a specific date. Give them to friends you want to come to your event, and every time they read they will be reminded of it. It is a win-win situation.
Handing these down on sporting events is a great reminder that people should not only enhance their bodies but their minds as well.
Hand out these Christmas-themed invitation bookmarks in the spirit of the yuletide season. It will be cold outside this time of the year. Most people will want to stay in and read a good book in the warm comfort of their own home. A bookmark will be a thoughtful gift for those people.
Students spend a lot of time with their faces covered in books. Throughout their time in school, they have been tasked and reminded constantly to read textbooks. A bookmark will be a great reminder of those times, the good and bad. It will also be very helpful once they start picking up the novels they have been shelving due to priorities in school.
This is a great gift for expecting mothers because they will be spending most of their time at home, either in bed or sitting on the couch. Days can go slow on this period, so a good book will be a welcome companion.
Sometimes, a bookmark is exactly just that—a bookmark. Sometimes you do not need a reason to have or give a bookmark, you just do. Let your creativity go wild with the designs of the bookmarks you make. Like this one.
A bookmark like this is a good way to remember someone who has recently passed. Though this may be sad, if that person used to love reading, he/she would love it if he knew you were handing out bookmarks at his/her funeral.
This cute-looking bookmark is a perfect gift for your kids of your friend’s kids who love Disney characters. A reading habit should be encouraged, and a gift as cute as this will surely inspire them to do so.
Harry Potter fans will surely love to have matching bookmarks with their books. And because the design of the bookmarks are based on the houses of Hogwarts—Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Slytherin, and Hufflepuff—they are free to choose their favorite.
Bookmarks are wonderful items for readers to utilize. We cannot always read an entire book in one sitting. We all have other things to do like work and school, so most of the time we set it aside for a period of time until our schedule becomes open enough for us to read. Folding a page from the book is a massive no for book lovers, and memorizing the page you left off is just irresponsible. Every book lover needs a bookmark. You can either buy one or make one yourself, and we all know how important it is to save a couple of bucks.
