Artists typically create out of season. I'm generally creating summer items in winter and Christmas items in fall. So I'm getting a jump start on creating Christmas bookmarks now while outside our trees are turning into golden and burgandy wonders. I enjoy painting numerous pieces at a time, perfecting my strokes and adding delicate little touches.
I think these will look beautiful in my Christmas Market booth display. I will create a little sign letting visitors know that I appreciate them stopping by and they are welcome to take a free bookmark. I love being a generous shopkeeper.
I painted tulips on bookmarks for our customers at The Summer Market this past summer and the joy they showed us in taking a bookmark made our day. It's so fun to delight and inspire. Little touches really do make all the difference.
I'm sharing the DIY video if you'd like to make your own. I think they would make perfect teacher gifts, Christmas party favors, bookclub gifts, and generally would be great for any Christmas event.
