🎃 How to Make a Halloween Bookmark with Canva + MakerLab (3D Printable!)

Halloween is the perfect excuse to get creative — and if you’re a book lover like me, a themed bookmark is a must-have accessory. In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to design a custom Halloween-themed bookmark in Canva and turn it into a 3D printable file with MakerWorld’s MakerLab tool.


It’s a quick, fun project that’s perfect for beginners. Whether you love spooky books, cozy fall vibes, or just want to try out a new MakerLab trick, this bookmark project is for you!

🖌️ Step 1: Design Your Bookmark in Canva

  1. Head to Canva and search for “Bookmark” templates.

  2. Filter to Free designs so you don’t need a paid membership.

  3. Pick a Halloween-inspired template — think pumpkins, ghosts, cauldrons, bats, or cobwebs.

  4. Customize the colors and elements to fit your spooky vibe.

  5. Download your design as a PNG file.

💡 Pro tip: Keep your design simple and bold — high contrast shapes work best when converting to 3D.


🔩 Step 2: Prep Your Design in MakerLab

  1. Go to MakerWorld MakerLab.

  2. Open the Image to Keychain tool.

  3. Upload the PNG file you downloaded from Canva.

  4. Resize your bookmark to:

    • Width: 52 mm

    • Height: 156 mm

    • Thickness: 2 mm

  5. Preview your design to make sure it looks good.

  6. Export your file as an STL.


🖨️ Step 3: Print Your Bookmark

  • Import your STL into your slicer (I use Bambu Studio).

  • Double-check the sizing before slicing.

  • Choose your filament colors — orange, black, purple, or glow-in-the-dark green are perfect for Halloween!

  • Print, remove from the plate, and enjoy your spooky new bookmark.


👻 Why This Project Rocks

  • No paid tools needed — Canva + MakerLab are free

  • Beginner-friendly workflow

  • Quick print (usually under an hour)

  • Festive, functional, and customizable

This project is such a fun way to mix books and 3D printing — and Halloween is the perfect excuse to try it out. If you make your own bookmark, I’d love to see it! Tag me on MakerWorld or drop your profile in the comments so we can share ideas.
