When Grandpa cleaned out his desk, he found some old rolls of adding machine paper. Griffin tried using an adding machine(which is like a plug-in calculator that prints receipts). Then he had the idea of using the paper to make bookmarks. His collage process starts by sewing yarn down the center of the paper with a zig-zag stitch. He might place shredded paper or sequins on top so that they get sewed on at the same time. Then he uses stickers, paint, markers, stamps, and punches to decorate the bookmarks. Finally, he laminates the bookmarks by adding packing tape to each side. This prevents ink from rubbing off onto the books.
