How does one make a book mark, I too am now interested in making a Neil Gaiman bookmark

I’m glad you asked.

Step 1: Pick an image and print it out. You’ll need to make it so that the image only takes up a small portion of the page otherwise when it prints it will be too big (I use Canva to do this). Also, if the image has a background, it’s best to erase that and print it on a plain white background. You can erase it on digital drawing apps or really any editing app.

Step 2: Once you’ve printed your image, cut out Neil, very carefully. If you behead Neil Gaiman, there won’t be a Season 3 of Good Omens.

The following steps are for if you would like to laminate him and do not have a machine to do so, like me.

Step 3: Get packaging tape or any other transparent tape that is wide enough to cover Neil Gaiman. Cut a piece that is long enough to cover the height of him and place it on a flat surface, with the sticky side of the tape facing up.

Step 4: Place Neil down on the sticky side of the tape. You want it to be smooth so it is best to put down one end and then slowly smooth down the length of your cutout.

Step 5: Cut off another piece of tape that is around the same length as the first one. Try to line it up as best as you can, with the sticky side facing down. Smooth it out as you place it, as you did with Neil, otherwise you will get bubbles or crinkles in your bookmark.

Step 6: Trim off any excess tape. I like to leave a small space of tape on the edges because it looks nicer and will be more waterproof, tear proof, etc.

Step 7: Put him in the book and either suffocate him between the pages or leave his face peaking out the top of the book so he can watch your every move. (I suggest you don’t suffocate him as he is a national treasure.)

Also! This can work for making stickers as well if you put the first piece of tape facing down on a piece of parchment paper.

Almost a year ago I made a Moomin themed gift for my cousin.

It took some trial and error but I managed to sculpt two Moomin heads from apoxie and paint them to make some earrings. Then I painted a little Snufkin protrait and put together a metal bookmark.
