Easy, Geeky Bookmarks!

Bonjour!
Today, I made some really simple, cool bookmarks out of Doctor Who images! You can do this one of two ways. The first way takes about ten minutes and is for those of you, who, like myself, are impatient. The second way is better if you only have a few minutes here and there to work on it. Either way works, but the latter will probably last longer in the end.

If you've chosen the first way, you will need:

• A clear image, which is about 5 to 6 inches tall and 1 to 3 inches wide. All of mine are just from Google Images, but if you have extra time, you can draw something and then use that...
• Freezer Paper (I love that stuff!), which can be found in most grocery stores.
• An X-Acto knife or scissors, whichever you prefer.
• An iron

...And instructions:

• Take your image and put a piece of freezer paper (shiny side facing the back of the image) on the back of it. Iron it well, so that there aren't any big wrinkles or bubbles. I had a few, but if you go over it a few times with the iron, it should look okay.

• Now, cut out the image with the X-Acto knife, being sure not to separate the paper and the freezer paper. 

• You're done! Wasn't that easy?

If you've chosen the second path, here's what you'll need:

• Another image, as detailed above.
• Elmer's Glue or similar
• A paintbrush
• Poster board (like the kind you can roll up for school projects), or I suppose a manila file folder or oaktag paper might work too.
• An X-Acto knife or scissors.
• Something flat and heavy to put on top of your paper while it dries, like a textbook.

...And instructions:

• Use your image and paint the glue lightly on the back of it, making sure you get all of the corners but you don't saturate the paper.
• Press it on the poster board/oaktag/folder and smooth out all of the little wrinkles. 
• Place under the heavy object for several hours and let it dry.
• When it's completely dried, cut out the pieces of the image that you want, and voila! There's your extra-durable bookmark!
• Also, to make it last even longer and make it shiny, you could paint ModgePodge over the top of it. Just make sure you let it dry before sticking it in your book!

          I have no idea why, but whenever I try to insert an image into this post, it puts it at the top, so you can see the final products right under the heading up there ^. The Weeping Angel was made using the first method, and the Dalek was made with the second. I hope you enjoyed this!
          The next time I post, it may be from Switzerland! See you soon!
