How to Make a Personalized Photo Bookmark Using the HP Sprocket
“Reading gives us someplace to go when we have to stay where we are.” –Mason Cooley
I don’t think I will ever get used to reading digital books. I love the feel of a bounded book in my hands and turning those pages to find out what happens next in the story. You may have noticed that because of this, I’ve made a lot of DIY bookmarks! Here are a few:
- DIY Felt Pizza Bookmark
- DIY Pug Bookmark
- Printable Definition Bookmarks
- Printable Coloring Bookmarks
- Paint Color Sample Bookmarks
I decided to make some using the HP Sprocket. My daughter helped me, and we made some for ourselves and her friends. We made them with some scrapbook paper and our Sprocket photos and even added a yarn tassel.

Change the patterns and colors of paper to fit a certain holiday like red and green for Christmas stocking stuffers or pastels for an Easter basket.
If you need more inspiration for bookmarks. Here are two video tutorials I did for a fun felt pizza bookmark and for an easy paper pug bookmark that I made for Mia’s friends from school.

“Books are a uniquely portable magic.” –Stephen King
What size do you make the bookmarks. Length and width?
Hi Susan! HP Sprocket photos are 2X3 inches, so you want to trim your paper to a slightly larger size to create a boarder. I trimmed these bookmarks to 8” X 3.5”. Cut both the brochure paper and scrapbook paper to create a sturdy bookmark. Glue the two pieces together and cut a hole for the tassel using a hole punch.
