Yet, this is something so easily avoidable with a magnetic bookmark and by making your own you can personalize each one to your own taste. Or, they make really fantastic gifts for your friends and family \u2013 especially at Christmas.\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">\n\nA magnetic bookmark is normally made out of a single piece of material or card which is folded in half and slipped over a page or pages. The magnets on each side of the bookmark attract together through the thickness of the page and hold the bookmark securely in place.&nbsp;\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\">Here&#8217;s what you&#8217;ll need!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li> <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/first4magnets.com\/us\/a4-sheet-c81\/magflex-xtra-lite-a4-flexible-magnetic-sheet-inkjet-printable-p3739#ps_0_3914|ps_1_2090\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Inkjet printer flexible A4 magnetic sheet<\/a><\/strong>\u202f(makes 5 x 40mm (1.57&#8243;) wide bookmarks per sheet)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Scissors\u00a0 <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Alternative:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Card, patterned, white or\u00a0colored\u00a0depending on your preference and,\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/first4magnets.com\/us\/dot-rectangle-sheet-c83\/magflex-30mm-dia-self-adhesive-flexible-magnetic-dots-54-per-a4-sheet-p3702#ps_0_3863|ps_1_2987\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">A4 sheet of 54 self-adhesive magnetic dots<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Scissors\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong>How to make a magnetic bookmark using inkjet printer magnetic sheets<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-2-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"> The fantastic thing about using a printable magnetic sheet to make magnetic bookmarks is that you are only limited by your imagination. Simply open up a desktop publishing program on your computer or even a more basic program like Microsoft Word and mark out four lines vertically down the page approximately 40mm (1.57&#8243;) apart. You will cut down these lines later to make each individual bookmark.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"> Create your design for each bookmark, or download our\u202f<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/us.first4magnets.com\/downloads\/16081957061447345416Bookmark_designs.pdf \">Christmas design templates<\/a>. <\/strong>Remember, that each strip will be folded in half so the design that you create on the bottom half of each bookmark will need to be turned upside down, like our example Christmas designs. Also, remember that most printers won\u2019t print to the very edge so it is a good idea to make sure your design finishes a 1\/4 inch or so in from each edge.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-2-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">\n\nOnce you have created your designs, put one magnetic sheet into your printer on top of your regular paper, ensuring you are inserting the sheet the correct way up so that the printer will print on to the white side and print your designs. Do not put more than one sheet into your printer at any one time as they will stick together and jam.&nbsp;\n\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">\n\nOnce printed, allow the ink to dry thoroughly before cutting. You can cut the sheet with a pair of regular scissors or with a paper trimmer.&nbsp; \n\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-2-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">\n\nFold each bookmark in half and crease. Then, take your scissors or craft knife and carefully and lightly score along the crease on the magnetic side to help prevent the bookmark springing open.&nbsp; \n\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">\n\nPlace your bookmark over the top of the page and press together.

Then, twist the second magnet carefully in one direction until you feel it snap in place and where the attraction is strongest.
