Anyone know how to make bookmarks?

I'm part of an Author's Day at a bookstore. There will be about ten children's authors there, and I'd like to have bookmarks to give away. Anyone have any idea on how to make them? I have a laser color printer (that cost an arm and a leg!), so I'm itching to use it to make them if someone can tell me how. Thanks!

Donna I've made them in Word before, using the Columns feature. I think I got 5 columns to an 8.5X11 sheet printed landscape. You design your bookmark in the first column, then copy and paste it into the rest. A little "picky" but can be done.
Then I got a Mac, and the other night spent half the night trying to design bookmarks in the AppleWorks draw program.
There has to be a better way?????

So did you get a heavy duty shiny paper? And then do you have a big paper cutter? Maybe someone has a better idea than booksmarks?
Thanks, Evie!

I did some on photo quality paper, and some on card stock - the card stock ones looked nicer. I used scissors on some and then borrowed the paper cutter at work for the rest - 41 years old and I still can't cut a straight line!

What does a straight line look like? LOL! I can't even cut a straight line with a paper cutter!

I too did mine on my computer on card stock and "borrowed" the papercutter at work to cut them out. I have a writing friend who did hers that way but THEN used a hole punch at the bottom and added a little "tassle" she'd bought in a bulk package at the craft store! Gave the bookmark a little "something different".

We have a brand new Staples in town, so I'll head on over there to check it out.
If that's too expensive, I can borrow the papercutter from church.
Thanks, ladies!

Good suggestion. I'll check that out, too. I have two book signings for my children's book next week, so I gotta get the bookmarks and the flyers together before then. Thanks!
