I made these cut little book corners for each of my kids classes. I cut them on my gypsy using 8 1/2 by 11 paper. If you have a gypsy I can send you the file. I punched the eyes with a circle punch and the teeth I cut on the gypsy. Edited by user Friday, August 19, 2011 7:30:58 AM(UTC)

I would find out what the teaches theme is and do a bookmark. Then get it laminated so it will last longer.
I made bookmarks for my neighbors daughter who got her first teaching job and she is teaching 1st grade and her theme is out doors things so I used the AK bookmarks and made little frogs then made a can to set them in and made a lily pad and a lily flower to set the can in/on. It turned out really cute.

I have also made bookmarks using AK for my students in the past. This year I made each student a little bag using Plantain schoolbook and I filled it with little treats. Are you looking for something to give out the first day of school or holidays? I think the book idea would be neat, I personally have not made books for my students as I do not have the patience for that. These were the bags I made [img=  ]v[/img]

Did you emboss the paper yourself, or did it come that way? I love that pattern!

I punched the eyes with a circle punch and the teeth I cut on the gypsy. I absolutely love these! I do not have a gypsy...any advice on how to get these in the craft room? Thank you in advance!
