Pressed flower bookmark craft supplies for eight

Who this list is for

This supply list is for small group crafting—specifically, making eight pressed flower bookmarks at a table. It fits teachers, activity leaders, or anyone hosting a craft session for kids or adults. Choose this list if you want each person to make a single, laminated bookmark with real pressed flowers.

How to use this list

Set out the white cardstock, one sheet per person, and give each crafter access to the pressed flower pack. Use the paper trimmer to cut cardstock to bookmark size. Tweezers help with flower placement. Glue pens secure flowers in place before sealing with clear self-adhesive laminating sheets. Use the hole punch at the top, thread satin ribbon through, and finish with gold marker accents. Parchment paper protects surfaces during gluing and laminating.

What to skip

Don’t use fresh or partially dried flowers—they’ll warp or mold inside the bookmark. Avoid regular glue, which can stain or wrinkle paper; stick to acid-free glue pens. Skip laminating pouches that require heat, as self-adhesive sheets are safer and simpler for group work. Don’t substitute string for satin ribbon, as it frays and doesn’t look finished.

What is on this list

The list includes pressed flowers and leaves, white cardstock, clear self-adhesive laminating sheets, a paper trimmer, two craft scissors, two tweezers, two acid-free glue pens, a hole punch, eight lengths of satin ribbon, a gold marker, a ruler, and parchment paper. Mark off what you already have, and make sure you have enough for eight bookmarks. Each item is chosen for ease and a neat result.

After the craft session

Let everyone check their finished bookmarks for flatness and sealed edges. Clean up scraps and leftover flowers. Store unused pressed flowers in a dry place. Wipe down scissors and trimmer, and save any extra supplies for next time. Encourage crafters to let glue set fully before using or gifting their bookmarks.
