Materials

  • 7 sheets card stock paper colors used - black, gray, white, purple, yellow, orange, brown.

Instructions

  • Choose your preferred colors of craft paper or cardstock. Trace the template pieces onto the corresponding papers and carefully cut them out with scissors. The template includes three bookmark designs: witch’s legs, a witch’s hat, and a broomstick. Begin with the witch’s legs bookmark.
    Cut paper pieces for a Halloween witch bookmark arranged on an orange background, including black curly witch shoes, white stocking bases, yellow buckles, and purple and gray strips for creating striped stockings.
  • Glue the yellow U-shaped buckle pieces onto the upper center of each black shoe. Position the buckles so the open ends of the U shapes face inward.

  • Cut several thin strips from your chosen colored craft papers. Glue the strips across the white stocking pieces to create a colorful striped pattern.
    Purple and gray paper strips glued across white cardstock pieces to create striped witch stockings for a handmade Halloween witch bookmark.
  • Trim away any excess paper from the sides of the stockings so the strips follow the stocking outlines. Glue a black witch’s shoe to the narrow end of each stocking.
