Homemade Valentine's Day Bookmark Craft Surprise

Here is unique valentines surprise bookmark craft for the sweetheart who is a bookworm or at least likes to read on a daily basis.

To make the surprise Valentine's Day bookmark craft, you will need:

Construction or colored paper

Clear contact paper

Photo

Pen or computer

Surprise Valentine's Day Bookmark Craft step #1, Craft preparations.

For the backdrop of the homemade Valentines Day bookmark, all you will need is a sheet of construction paper or colored paper. Color doesn't matter; red, pink, and white ate traditional for Valentines Day but your beloved's favorite color can also work well for this craft. Contact paper can be found at a local hardware store if you don't have any contact paper in the house. Procure a photo or other image that conveys that you love the person who will find the bookmark. Now you will want to compose a personal message or obtain some romantic poetry that conveys your love. The poetry can be typed onto the computer and printed; just make sure to delete the soft copy as to not ruin the surprise.

Surprise Valentine's Day Bookmark Craft step #2, make the frame:

Take your construction paper for the backdrop. You will ultimately want a bookmark that is about 9 inches tall and three inches wide. Folding the paper into quarters and using a quarter of the sheet of paper can obtain this size easily.

Surprise Valentine's Day Bookmark Craft step #3, add text and image:

Now you will add your picture to the card. It does not need to be an actual photograph; a good color printer image is just fine. Procure your message or poetry and print it out in a narrow column that fits under the picture. It is a good idea to print the text on paper of a contrasting color to that of the backdrop of the Valentines Day bookmark. If you are good at fancy writing, the poetry can simply be written on the construction paper.

Surprise Valentine's Day Bookmark Craft step #4, complete the craft:

Place the Valentines Day bookmark on the contact paper and press. Make sure the picture and poetry are in place, and fold the contact paper back over the front. Let the contact paper extend a bit past the end of the bookmark, then go back and trim off any excess contact paper. Now you are ready to set your Valentine's Day surprise up. This is the fun part.

Surprise Valentine's Day Bookmark Craft step #5; set up the surprise:

On the day before Valentine's Day, you will need to pay attention to what book your beloved is reading and where he or she places it when not reading it. Observe as to how close to the end of the book he or she is as well, as a surprise bookmark in a finished book will not work. You will also need to work with whatever schedule and opportunity you can seize. If you get home first, you have it made. If not, you may need to think of a subtle diversion or wait for your opportunity while trying not to show that you are up to something. Then replace the existing bookmark with the surprise Valentines Day bookmark. Once you set the surprise bookmark, you will then need to ensure that it gets found. Chances are you will get lucky and the person picks up the book without prompt, but have a plan as to how you can subtly suggest reading the book without arising suspicion. Once the book is picked up, sit back and watch the surprise unfold.
