I’ve had more fun this weekend – I’ve created one more Valentine project before the holiday. I wanted to make a Subway Art project and I thought that it might be fun to create a bookmark to give as a simple gift.
It works well for Valentine’s Day, but it really could be made any time because it is based on 1 Corinthians 13.
A free printable is available if you’d like to make your own for personal use or gift-giving. Please contact me if the printable doesn’t work for some reason.
I trimmed and lined them using K&Company double-sided cardstock, which added a cute design to the back. To finish, I laminated them and added ribbon.
Creatively wrapping them was my next challenge and I thought of using pretzel bags. They worked perfectly! I included a few chocolates and tied them with ribbon. Pretzel bags can easily be found at Walmart or JoAnn’s.
I’m so happy with how they turned out. ♥
I’d love to hear if you have an opportunity to make them. They were a fun little project!
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Laurie ♥

These are fabulous Laurie! Thanks for the printable as well. I’m still working on making some of your peek-a-boo Valentines and now I’m thinking these bookmarks would be a great gift for the kiddos’ teachers. Thanks once again for all your inspiration and help!

Thank you, Jessica! I handed them out to some of the ladies I work with at MOPS and they were a hit. Adding chocolate always makes things nice, doesn’t it? ;) It was a fun project and an easy way to try my hand at Subway Art. I just loved your sweet post about your valentine treats. Thank you for your kind words and for your thoughtful writeup! I’m so blessed to be able to have met you via blogging.
