Super Easy Pompom Bookmarks

I just love pompoms, and to make something useful and also cute - well that is just the best!  Take a few jumbo papers clips, some pompom trim and make a super cute bookmark!!  Check out the fun versions I made up with using some basic supplies.

Check out my video on the Expo International YouTube channel on how to make these fun pompom flower bookmarks!

There are some really basic supplies you need for this cute bookmark, just some Expo International baby pompom trim, glue, and a super jumbo paper clip from Love + Lemon Craft.

The color choices are endless, as the colors of the pompom trim are huge as are the paperclips!!  Just pick a color for each and you are set!  Add a little backing of some Kunin felt to hold it all together and you have a super cute bookmark for your novels, journals, or planners!

You can also make single pompom mini bookmarks on regular sized paperclips, but since these are smaller you can also use them as paper craft embellishments!

Here is a video on how to make these fun pompom paperclip embellishments!

Some of the clips I left with a simple paper backing that you cannot see from the front, but they still look super cute with the large pompoms cute from the Expo International Inc. trims.

I then added a larger paper backing to half of the embellishments, and they looked super cute too!!  Amazing how one little change make it look so different.

You can use these cute embellishments in so many ways, on a tag, scrapbook page, planner, bullet journal, or even as a bookmark like the ones at the begging of the post.

I also have a coupon code for Supertite glue, it is the liquid glue I used to hold all the embellishments together.  It is a wonderful glue that is so much cheaper than other glues out on the market, plus it has less chemicals!!

10 Card Ideas with Handmade Embellishments

I love to make embellishments using paper, sequins, embossing powder, glitter, dies, and ribbon.  Really I just love to make embellishments!!  I think it adds a little something extra special to each of my cards that are not only hand made, but also have a little extra handmade love on them!  So here are 10 cards where I hand made some sort of embellishment on it.  Some are simple and some complex a little bit of something for everyone!!

Here is a video of each card step by step so you can make some of these fun embellishments and cards too!!

On this card the embellishment is part of the background paper, it is the glitter flower.  I used a stencil and green glitter paste to create the flower, drew in the stem, and added in Nuvo Drops for the center.

On card 2 I made the flower at the top corner.  You take layers of punched or die cut flower shapes from paper squish them up and layer them to make a really fun flower!!  Add a little of the glitter paste and it is super sparkly!  Check out the video for full details on how to make this flower.

Here is card 3 the embellishment is the paper that is embossed with a flower stamp and gold embossing power.  Some times the simplest things make the biggest statement!

On card 4 the embellishment is the tag that is layered up with a stamp, sequins, and a little jute bow!

Here is card 5 with an elegant gold flower that is made from a couple of flower punches, leaf sequins, and round sequins for the center.

For this card I used a toucan die and colored the beak and backed the die with white paper with the die cut being in black.  It is just too cool!!

On card 7 I made a simple 2 layered gold flower with a sequin center, simple but elegant!

On this card I used a simple punched out butterfly from gold cardstock.  I love easy embellishments!!

On card 9 the embellishment is the strips of paper, adding to it are the wooden pre-made flowers and sequins make this card pop!

The last card I made a flower out of gold ribbon.  It is fun to make and a great way to use up that stash of ribbon!!

What types of embellishments do you like to make?

I used the May Love from Lizi kit to make all the fun cards.  Almost all the supplies are in the kit except for the adhesive, ink, stamp blocks, and a couple sheets of white cardstock.  Here is the unboxing video to show all the supplies in this fun kit!

I also have a coupon code for Supertite glue, it is the liquid glue I used to hold all the embellishments together and onto the cards and it is a wonderful glue that is so much cheaper than other glues out on the market, plus it has less chemicals!!
