Good morning my friends, welcome to my blog ✨😊 where I will be teaching you how to recycle these little labels that we may have thrown away at some point because we can't think of what to do with them and although sometimes there are labels that we prefer to keep because they are pretty we always end up throwing them away, well in my case it happened to me like that many times with the labels that I removed from new clothes and shoes.
It occurred to me to recycle them by making bookmarks to mark the page of a book that I haven't finished or to give to any special person who likes this detail for their books and diaries and of course to give a chance to this type of things that can be recycled.
If you have had the opportunity to see the Studio Ghibli film "My Neighbor Totoro" you will meet this peculiar character who is like a spirit that protects the forest and lives in a giant tree with other little animals that protect the place where they live... My Neighbor Totoro focuses on the grandiloquent beauty of the trees, the grass, the sky and the forest structure. These elements have such brightness and color that they seem to be seen through the eyes of the protagonists, two sisters whose father teaches them to thank the forest at all times for providing them with more than they need to survive.
If you haven't seen this movie yet, I invite you to do so, and if you have already seen it, tell me what you thought of it 😊 I like it a lot because, as we mentioned before, it places importance on caring for and valuing our ecosystem, which at this time is being affected by the pollution caused by human beings over the years... So by doing our bit and recycling what we can, we can contribute to having our environment a little cleaner. Without further ado, friends, I invite you to join me in making this cute bookmark today. I hope you really like the result and that you are encouraged to do it.

✨💚Pasos a seguir:💚✨
Steps to follow:
Paso 01
Step 01
Okay friends, we will first begin to draw our sketch on the cardboard with the pencil. You can use an image as a guide, just like I did. I drew the entire Totoro figure on the small piece of cardboard.
Paso 02
Step 02
Since I didn't have any grey paint, I decided to make it. I mixed two types of paint, in this case black and white. To make grey paint, we just added more white than black, just a little bit of black paint, and you'll see how it turns out a shade of grey very similar to Totoro's body. Then we grab a little with our brush and carefully we're going to paint only the body of this one, the legs, ears and arms.
Paso 03
Step 03
We move on to paint the center of his belly with a beige color and paint the arrow-shaped stripes that he has above his belly and the green leaf on his head. When the paint on the surface is completely dry, it is time to outline the edges of the paint with our black pen. For a better finish, we will go over his hooves, arms and feet, the eyes in the center in black, and the edges of his body.
Paso 04
Step 04
So on top of this we are going to place our label here we try to center the paint so we can draw a frame around it the same size as the label and thus be able to cut it out to stick the cardboard with our drawing on top of it, for this we will use the pencil without marking too much.
Paso 05
Step 05
We cut out the entire frame that we have drawn only along the edge, leaving the top part of the hole. We locate it and add silicone to stick it on. Then, with our satin ribbon, we will pass it through the hole that we left for the label and in the center we will adjust it well with a knot and that's it. We have finished the bookmark.
✨💚Resultado:💚✨
