Today we’re sharing this set of free printable back to school bookmarks for home reading or… well, any kind of reading. Not only are they modern with hand lettered quotes and illustrated books, they are perfect for coloring in thanks to the black and white design.

I created 5 different bookmarks to choose from in this printable. All 5 free printable book marks will print on one page… four with quotes about reading and one with just some playful illustrations of books to color in. If you recognize those illustrations, good eye!

These are the books I drew for my free printable reading tracker. What a perfect pair 😉 On that note… you could definitely use the books as a reading tracker, coloring as you go! You can see more about different ways to use a reading tracker here.

You could print these off and leave them plain rectangles or get fancy with rounded edges and hole punch space for a crafty tassel. If you do this, I definitely recommend laminating for longevity of your DIY bookmark!

What’s the best way to print free printables

You can print free printables any way you like, but I have a couple suggestions to make the most of them! While every free printable is different, these ones are black and white PDF documents which makes them incredibly easy to print at home or at your local print shop. They will print just like a document, without special settings like a photo.

While you can print these on regular paper, I find printing on cardstock looks nicer and allows you to keep your printables in better condition as you use them (it doesn’t crinkle nearly as easy). This also lets you color with more pigmented markers without bleeding through to the surface below. 

Laminate to help them last even longer!

You can see all of my tips for downloading and printing free printables like these ones in this detailed post.
