Tired of losing your place in a book and being recognized while you try to read in peace out in public? Oh I know. Me too. Luckily, this simple project I created solves both problems.
-
1
Draw a mustache on your cardboard. I made mine about 6 inches long and opted for the Rollie Fingers/Old-Timey Villain/Phosphate Shop Proprietor style, but you make whatever kind of mustache you want.

3
Pin your mustache together with right sides facing. Sew around the edges (I just did it by hand because I’m still terrible at the sewing machine). Leave an opening for stuffing it later.
-
4
Turn that mustache inside out! (Or, I suppose rightside out in this case). If you made a curly one like I did, this is the irritating part as it’s a little time- consuming to get the ends turned.

6
Sew up the opening you used for stuffing.
That’s it! Now you’re all set to read your book undetected out in public and hold your place when you are through.
It’s also very good for making “consternation faces†that will provide your loved ones with literally minutes of sidesplitting laughter. At you.
<--------- Sneaky disguise in action.
This is the first how-to I’ve ever done so if I left out any crucial mustache bookmark making-related info, I’m sorry. I’m kind of working on the assumption that anyone else nuts enough to want a mustache bookmark/disguise has a basic working knowledge of crafty things.

Made one of these bad boys out of construction paper in Social Studies, great way to make everyone crack up during a test. X)
