Voila, bookmark. It fits perfectly on the corner of a page, and as a bonus, it doesn&#8217;t fall down between the pages where you can&#8217;t find it and you try to carefully turn the pages to find it again only to have it fall out onto the floor before you figure out what page it was on.</p><p>But I&#8217;m not bitter.</p><p>The finished product leaves a nice area to write a note on. Or&#8230; a nice &#8220;Happy Valentines&#8221; message. Insert your own vomit-inducing saccharine-sweet message.</p><p>Just don&#8217;t leave your sappy message in the comments, or I might vomit.</p><a
