How to Make a Floral Bookmark as a Gift

Looking for a thoughtful, handmade gift that’s simple, beautiful, and meaningful? A floral bookmark is the perfect way to combine your love for flowers and creativity into a charming token of appreciation. Whether you’re gifting it alongside a book or sending it as a keepsake, a floral bookmark is a timeless piece anyone would love.

At Petal Box, we adore the idea of turning nature into lasting memories. That’s why we’re sharing this delightful DIY project you can make right at home in Abu Dhabi. Follow the steps below to create your own floral bookmark—perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, thank-yous, or just because!

Materials You’ll Need

• Fresh or pressed flowers (locally sourced or from your Petal Box bouquet!)

• Heavyweight cardstock or watercolor paper

• Clear contact paper or self-laminating sheets

• Scissors

• Hole punch (optional)

• Ribbon or twine (optional)

• Glue stick or craft glue

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Select Your Flowers

Choose small, flat flowers like daisies, pansies, or baby’s breath. You can press your own flowers by placing them between paper sheets and pressing them inside a heavy book for 7–10 days. If you’re in a hurry, we recommend using pre-pressed flowers available at local craft stores in Abu Dhabi.

Tip: Use flowers from a past Petal Box bouquet for a sentimental touch.

2. Cut the Bookmark Base

Cut your cardstock or watercolor paper into a bookmark shape (typically 2 x 6 inches). Choose neutral tones or soft pastels to let your flowers stand out.

3. Arrange and Glue

Once your flowers are pressed and dried, gently arrange them on the cardstock. Play around with designs—line them up vertically, create a floral border, or form a tiny bouquet. Then glue them down carefully using a glue stick or craft glue.

4. Seal It

Cover your design with clear contact paper or use self-laminating sheets to protect the flowers and keep the bookmark sturdy. Trim the edges for a clean finish.

5. Add a Personal Touch

Punch a hole at the top and thread through a ribbon or twine. You can even write a short message or quote on the back to make it extra personal.
