Simple Wooden Bookmark

Last summer our porch was redone and I collected a lot of pieces of wood, that would go to garbage. I love to recycle and repurpose and some of those pieces became a lot of useful stuff around the house or were used in art projects. My last project was wooden bookmarks made out of those leftovers 🤎
