Its a bookmark shaped like a man. An innovative take for a useable and delightful bookmark.
We only need a tarpaulin at 3.5" x 1.5".
Cut 1/3" from one side to serve as the feet. Then move and inch higher to cut out the hands.
Cut 1/3" from the side then move upwards until 1.5" before the top.
From the top, measure 1" then cut out a small triangle as shown to serve as the separation of the head and body.
Unfold it then form the foot, cut towards the center or almost at the center to give allowance for the waist and body as shown. Do it at both side. Shape the body not to thin so that it will not easily break.
There you have the sexy output that look like an Egyptian king or mistress.
Put a modern look by showing the foot. Cut at the base with feet as wide as the hands.
These is a modern man with hood. make sure to smoothen the hands to give an appealing look.
Shown is the proper way to bookmark, the man holding the page with both his hands.

Lets try to make a coin purse with a long zipper, with out cutting it and sewing at opposite ends.
We need:
1) 8" x 4" cloth or like what I used here is a water proof material used in back packs.
2) 8" long zipper, yes it have no partner.
3) Zipper slide.
Few materials to work with. Very easy project.
We start off by:
1) Sew the zipper at one of the edge, the put the zipper slide.
2) Put it at its wrong side.
3) Sew the open side.
4) Sew the open bottom.
(You don't need to do this) I wanted to secure more the stitches by tying the threads before cutting them.
5) Reverse the coin purse and we have our done project.
We will now create a bookmark which I made out of need for the book I was trying to read for days. It's a simple and easy do-it-yourself project.
All we need is a tarpaulin of 3.5 inches by 1.5 inches.
We start doing the project by:
1) Fold the material lengthwise and cut the edges, to create a curved edge.
2) Cut trough the center starting from the bottom and stopping about half an inch at the top.
3) Then fold it again, continue cutting from the center horizontally then cut down from the center to show quarters.
When unfolded this is how it would look.
Gorgeous on paper.
And able to bookmark a clamp of pages.
How it look when used.
A very simple modification from the usual bookmark that we usually make. This bookmark will hold on to the page it is bookmarking so that it will not accidentally slip off from the book.
We only need a Tarpaulin of 3.5 by 1.5 inches in size.
Instructions:
1) Fold the material into two but don't press at the middle.
2) Measure 1/3 of the length of the material then cut a 30-45 degree until the middle of the folded material.
3) From the middle cut upward stopping about half an inch before the top.
This is how it looks like when unfolded with a pointed cut at the center.
Clip it on paper like so.
