How to Make a Happy Hamster Printable Bookmark Craft
Select brown, white and pink colored craft papers for the hamster bookmark pattern. The template includes body base, head, outer ears, inner ears, blush, body spots, upper legs. Trace the template patterns on the selected craft papers and cut them out nicely.
Attach the inner ear cutouts (from pink paper) on the outer ear cutouts.
Then attach the ear patterns on the top side of the head cutout.
Attach the head spot/mark cutouts on the head (on the top side).
Next, attach the blush cutouts on both cheeks and then use a pen to draw the eyes, nose, mouth and teeth of the paper craft hamster.
Use a pink sharpie to trace and fill the feet parts on the open-round ends of the upper leg cutouts and the bottom ends of the leg parts of the body base.
Attach the body spot/mark cutout along the bottom part of the body base.
Attach the upper leg patterns on a side of the body base, near the top and only along the edge; keep the rest of the upper leg free from glue so that you can easily slide a page under it.
Similarly, attach the other upper leg on the other side of the body base.
Attach the head pattern on the top side of the body base to complete the hamster bookmark.
That’s all there is to it! An absolutely adorable hamster bookmark that you can make in just a few minutes. What do you think of this little cutie? Are you ready to make your own? If you do, make sure to show it off to us! Tag us on Facebook or Instagram– we can’t wait to see it!
