This Book Belongs To

How many times have you loaned out a book and never had it returned? Perhaps it is not because the person it was loaned to did not intentionally keep the book, but rather did not know later who it belonged to. Make a "This Book Belongs To" book plate label and indicate your name or family name on a set of personailized bookplates.

Make your bookplates with your family's name on them and prnt your book labels on paper or on labels that can be used as bookplate stickers inside the book.

Consider the example of a bookplate template below. It is called "All of Us this book belongs to" and has a fish theme image on the top and an identification phrase on the printable book label below.

You can make other ocean themed bookplates like "An Elegant Palm this book belongs to" or "Beautiful Palm this book belongs to" or even "Fish this book belongs to". These are simply kids bookplates that have a sea theme to them but can be modified any way you wish.

A couple of my favorite book labels include "Fun Crab this book belongs to" and "Gurgling Fish this book belongs to" both of which can be placed on on book and used to identify the owner of the paperback or hard bound text.

Use other themes like kids gardening on bookplates or perhaps sports. Flowers also make for elegant printable book labels too.

Enjoy making personalized stationery everyday with your family and make it a part of your kids crafts activities either at home or at school while enjoying quality time with your kids!
