How to Make a Bookmark With a Smiley Face Border

If you don't want to search frantically for specific story passages or quotes in your favorite book, use a bookmark to keep your place. Although you can usually find bookmarks at local libraries or retail stores, they usually contain pre-made designs and themes. For a more personalized touch, you can create and design your own smiley face-themed book marks on a computer.
