These Funny Photo Bookmarks have to be one of my most favorite crafts we have ever made. We made these for our boys’ grandpa for Father’s Day and they were a huge hit.

Supplies needed to make Funny Photo Bookmarks
You can make these bookmarks in a few different ways but here are the supplies we used:
- Photo Paper or White Cardstock (Photo paper looks better but isn’t mandatory.)
- Laminator or Clear Contact Paper (I have the Xyron Multi-Function Crafting System and I love that I can laminate and make magnets and stickers.)
- Ribbon or string
- Cute Kids ( You definitely can’t make these without them 😉 )
To make, have your kids pose as though they are hanging on to something for dear life and snap a picture. The sillier the face, the better. They can use one or two hands and it helps if they go up on their toes so it looks as though they really are hanging. They should just have lots of fun with it and get creative.
Once you have taken the pictures, print them out on the photo paper or cardstock, cut them out as close to the body as possible and then laminate.
After you have laminated them, cut them out again and use a hole punch to punch through their hands and loop a ribbon through. You can use a tassle if you have them or if you want to make them. I just used ribbon since I already had it.
I’m pretty sure that this “baby bookmark” is my favorite! I can’t believe how much he has grown!
I hope you loved these Funny Photo Bookmarks. They definitely make me smile!

We’re glad you like them!
Love them!!! You can also get packs of self-laminating sheets at walmart! Great Idea!
Oh that’s great to know! Thanks for the tip. I want to see some of your kids next. 🙂
Super cute blog! Cate (your cousin I think?) sent me over. Following now!
Welcome Amie! I’m so glad you like it!
I love these Kara. Thanks for all of your great ideas.
Thanks Jeannie! They still crack me up. We might have to try some new poses and make them again. 🙂
They turned out so cute! I’ve got to get me a laminator – on the wish list. I like how it looks with ribbon.
Thanks so much! Yes a laminator is a must. My kids pull it out all the time and it makes my life much easier. 🙂 Plus it has different cartridges that can make stickers, magnets, etc. Lots of fun. Thanks for the fun idea!
