Personalised bookmarks for avid readers

Despite their thin and light cardboard structure, personalised bookmarks are useful reading accessories for students, school teachers, librarians and passionate bookworms. When one gets enthusiastic about a book or a novel, it is a pitty to have to stop. At least, you want to be able to go back to the very same page, pararagraph and line where your left the story. Personalised bookmarks let you mark the page you want and inspire you with pictures and phrases that have been added by yourself.

For many, reading is a personal ritual and a moment for reflecting on personal matters. By creating a personalised bookmark, you complete this experience with images and memories that make you feel good. If you are making a bookmarker as a gift for someone else, try to put yourself in the other person's place and reflect their personal interests. Custom bookmarks can furthermore be adapted to the reader's age and preferences. For example, bookmarks for kids are often decorated with pictures of  cartoon characters, animals, pets or a nice photographic caption of the last family holiday. If your children have a favourite sport or hobby, pictures of them performing these activities will motivate them and make them feel proud of themselves. For a student, a book mark with a list of the chemical elements or the Greek alphabet can be a really thrilling object to use with their school books . For adults, universal phrases from writers and historic personalities, like Gandhi, or Martin Luther King are often a good choice. In many families, memorials bookmarks are printed to honour an important family member who has left or to show a family tree chart.  Old English letters, the initials of names, coats of arms and many more elements can be used to make your own collection of personalised bookmarks.

Quotes to write on personalised bookmarks

One of the best ways to personalise a photo bookmark for making it unique and attractive is to add inspirational quotes, witty messages or meaningful phrases. In a way, the function of a bookmark is to make a read more inspiring. Here are some nice examples of quotes:

• Never judge a book by its cover (nor by its movie);
• Do what you love and do it often;
• Reading can take you places you have never been before;
• I'm a bookworm!;
• A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies;
• There is no friend as loyal as a book;
• Between the pages of a book is a lovely place to be.

How to make a bookmark

A bookmark is really easy to make if you use an online tool like the one from myphotobook. To make a bookmark, you will need at least two pictures - one for each side - as well as a computer, tablet or smartphone to design it on and an Internet connection. Complete the bookmark template with some ornaments, cliparts & frames, change the background colour if necessary and it will be ready with a few clicks. When you finally get your own personalised bookmark, the surface will be coated to make it last longer and a small cord will be attached to turn it more visible.
