Note to children's librarians, camp counselors, Sunday School teachers, art teachers, etc.:
Foam does NOT make for good bookmarks, especially if you glue layers of foam onto more foam. A good bookmark is only as thick as a piece of paper or cloth. Foam is too thick. It may warp the pages of a book or break the binding. They also don't stay in books very well.
Use foam for door hangers, sun visors, and Christmas ornaments, but if you want to do a bookmark craft please use thick or thin paper. Glitter is okay. Stickers are okay. Photo paper is okay. You can coat the bookmark with contact paper if you want, but please don't use foam.
Please don't give me any plastic canvas bookmarks, either. Too thick. Make a Kleenex box instead.
Thin needlepoint-on-cloth bookmarks are welcome.
Thank you for your consideration.
