    Very cute! These bookmarks, in addition to some handmade pom pom rabbits would make a good Easter basket gift!

    My 5 yr old granddaughter and I made these last week and they are very cute. Instead of pipe cleaners, we used soft "chenille" yarn which was very easy to wind and had no sharp ends like pipe cleaners. Fun project!

    These are adorable and so easy to make! I used 9 mm chenille stems that came in a pack of 15 at a Michael's Store. They make for fluffy bunny bookmarks just like what's pictured! I also doubled the cardstock stem part of the bookmark to give it rigidity so the chenille wrapped top doesn't bob front and back so much.

    This is tooo cute! I think I will cut out two templates to fit on one laminate sheet - it seems a bit wasteful to place only one on it.....

    You really need to have to fancy pipe cleaners otherwise it looks cheesey.

    I made these for my daughter's first grade class and for my son's preschool class and they were a great gift. Parents still come up to me one year later saying how much they enjoyed the gift. They were intended for the kids but I think most of the parents kept them for themselves. I know I did!

    These are very cute for easter or for every use because you can put your child picture in there or anybody picture in there you want.
