bookmarks

[xnikki118x.livejournal.com]

My uncle is getting married soon and I'm doing the favors for his fiance's bridal shower.

The shower is only for my family, as her sister threw her one already up where they live. All the women in my family are avid readers, so I'm designing pretty bookmarks to use as favors. My uncle was in a band and his intended is a music teacher, so the design will be a piece of sheet music with their names and wedding date written on it. It's prettier than it sounds.

I need help figuring out how to execute this, though. I'll be printing them from my home computer. I don't know what kind of paper I should print them on, though. Any ideas? I plan on laminating them, but should I do that before or after I cut them out? I was thinking I could print like 6 bookmarks per page, laminate the whole page, then cut the bookmarks out. Does this sound like a good idea? Also, how should I make those tassles that hang outside the book?

Thanks in advance for any ideas! =)
