Book Ghosts Bookmarks!
Haunt your books with some DIY ghosts. This is so fun to make. It fulfilled my childhood obsession over laminators that only teachers had access to.
Things you need: Hot laminator, laminator sheets, tracing paper or thin wrapping paper, pencil, pencil sharpener, eraser, scissors.
1) Draw the outline of ghost on tracing paper.
2) Cut out ghost shape.
3) Draw the ghost face. Ghastly hands are also nice.
4) Turn over the paper and draw the same design on that side. This is a great time to fix any asymmetry. Skipping this step will make the bookmark one side darker than the other.
5) Input pouch with ghosts in the laminator that’s warmed up. Witness the ghostly transformation as the machine output the heated laminate sheet turning the ghosts even more transparent from the melted glue inside the laminate sheet.
6) Carefully cut the ghosts out. Leave about 2mm boarder.
7) You have a fraid of book ghosts good enough to haunt your books.

Tips:
5mil or 7mil has a much smoother finish than 3mil laminate sheets
Always put the fused edge of the laminate sheet in the machine first
Thin paper works better
Use paper towels to shield your fingertips from leaving oily smudges on tracing paper
Sharp pencil helps with drawing details like tiny fingers
Dull pencil helps drawing shading like the soft dark eye circles.
Keep pencil graphite bits off your fingers and working area. They smudge easily on tracing paper.
Only use good quality erasers for the rest of your life. Otherwise, scotch tape with some skills still works better than those pink erasers from heck.
