50 of the Cutest Free Printable Bookmarks Online Right Now
I scoured Pinterest for some cute printable bookmarks, and here are the results: 50 of the cutest, most inspiring, most aesthetic bookmarks you can download for free and print today.
That’s enough for you to use and lose a different one for each of the books you read for a fifty book challenge.
I’m notorious for losing bookmarks. I collect cute ones from libraries and bookstores, but they often end up tucked in the back of the book I just returned to the library, never to be seen again.
That’s why I’ve compiled a list of free printable bookmarks. If (okay, when) I lose them, I can easily replace them. No more resorting to a miscellaneous receipt dug out of my purse or a shred of notebook paper.
For your browsing ease, I’ve divided these printable bookmarks into 7 categories: bookish quotes from famous authors, bookish phrases, pretty designs, black and white (for coloring), cute animals, miscellaneous, and Harry Potter, which obviously needed an entire category to itself.
