It's a bit of a tricky one and when I held the first three cards (of twelve total) in my hands, I honestly thought it impossible.

Playing Card Bookmarks: This project will show you how to create homemade playing card bookmarks that are fun and easy to make! I am entering this into the Out of the Comfort Zone contest as I am not used to making crafts and art.
