Procrastination Station: Urban Bookmarks.

I never, ever have a pretty book mark to use. And so it is, I decided to retire my usual hair pin proxy for a beautiful pager marker. Steal my How To for you next Procrastination Station!

Step One:
Next time to you go to Urban Outfitters, save your clothing tags. I have always admired the out of focus, dreamy quality of the pictures printed on the tags.
Step Two:
Grab your scissors, a bit of string, Sharpies, glue stick, and some heavy stock paper.
Step Three:
Cut the stock the same measurements as the tag, adhering securely.
Step Four:
Add your message or image on the back. I simply write, "Ashley's Bookmark." Simple is good, simple is our friend.
Step Five:
Poke the card stock based on the existing hole of the tag. Pull a string through the hole, and tie luggage tag style.
Step Six:
Enjoy and admire the loveliness of your kept page. P.S. friends and family be expecting one of these lovelies in the immediate future!
