# Grassy Placeholders The Yuriliku Design GreenMarker is a Simple DIY Bookmark By Meghan Young | Published 2010-03-13 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yuriliku-design-greenmarker References: [core77](http://www.core77.com/blog/object_culture/grow_your_knowledge_along_with_a_fake_patch_of_grass_16165.asp) & [yuruliku](http://www.yuruliku.com/greenmarker/about/about.html) If you have have some time on your hands and want an easy, fun project to do, I suggest you take a look at Yuriliku Design's GreenMarker. Granted, you would probably have to be an owner of at least a few [books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/easymark1) (which may be a stretch considering our tech-heavy lives lately). All you need is a few sheets of [3M's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/psoriasis-prescription-patches) [Post-It Notes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/friendlystack-reminder), in green of course, and you can whip up a bunch of Yuriliku Design's GreenMarker. Or you can just buy them, there's 25 in each pack. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 66% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **DIY Bookmarks:** The trend of making personalized bookmarks allows individuals to showcase their creativity and add a personal touch to their reading experience. - **Sustainable Stationery:** The trend of using eco-friendly materials like 3M's Post-It Notes promotes a greener approach to everyday items while still being functional. - **Tech-free Hobbies:** As our lives become increasingly technology-driven, the trend of engaging in offline activities like making bookmarks offers a break from digital overload. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Arts and Crafts:** The arts and crafts industry can capitalize on the DIY bookmark trend by offering materials, tools, and classes that cater to creative individuals. - **Stationery:** The stationery industry can explore using sustainable materials, such as eco-friendly sticky notes, to appeal to environmentally conscious consumers. - **Book Retail:** Bookstores can capitalize on the tech-free hobbies trend by creating sections or displays dedicated to DIY bookmark materials and offering recommendations for offline activities. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Book-Shaped Transparent Bookmarks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/transparent-bookmark.md) - [Cheekily Creative Bookmarks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illustrated-bookmarks.md) - [Minimalist Greenery Bookends](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-propagation-bookend.md) - [Compact Functional Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bookmarker-table.md) - [Reading Book Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/penguin-x-moebe.md) - [Modular Refillable Notebook Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/notebook-system.md) - [Paper-Free To-Do Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eminder.md) - [Reusable Magnetic Sticky Notes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/m-note.md) - [Highlighter-Inspired Reading Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-highlighter.md)
