Kids Crafts Gift Crafts: BookmarksThese kids crafts bookmarks are simple enough once you have made them a few times. I remember very clearly making these as a child using newspaper comics and adding these super tassels for giving as gifts. These gift crafts are especially good for giving to Grandma and Grandpa. Don't forget that Grandparents Day is celebrated each year on the first Sunday after Labor Day. This year remember your grandparents on Sunday: September 13, 2009.

(four to a page, measuring 6.5" x 1.75" or 16.5cm x 3.5cm each). Before you start:
Step 1: Flatten the toilet paper roll and cut along one of the creases. Step 2: Wrap yarn around toilet paper roll 12-16 times. Leave the beginning of the yarn hanging towards open end of roll. Note: You can use more than one color of yarn if desired,
just make sure to leave the ends facing the same direction! Step 3: Trim end of yarn. Allow end piece to hang toward open end of roll. Cut yarn through the open end of roll to create tassel ends. Step 4: Tie cut pieces with long yarn "loop"; leaving knot at the top and tying this second knot beneath. This will hold your tassel together. If the "legs" of your long piece were too long, just cut them to the same length. Step 5: Take smaller length of prepared yarn and wrap around the top portion of your tassel (crossing in opposite directions) to create a "head" of sorts. Tie off in a secure knot and smooth your tassel out. Step 6: Trim tassel ends to even length. (We slipped it back through the toilet paper roll for a nice even trim!) Don't you just love kids crafts?
