Step 4: Cut out this design and paste it on the construction paper.
Step 5: Trace a line around the Celtic knot design keeping 1\4” distance from it.
Step 6: Cut the construction paper along the line.
Step 7: To make the bookmark durable cut 2 pieces clear contact paper. Remove the backing of the paper and press down the bookmark on one piece.
