elegant and yet so very simple!
All that is needed is beautiful ribbons, thread,
buttons & some seed beads.
Perfect for your treasured book or Bible.....
here is how you make them in less than seconds...
well maybe 2 minutes ;)
the possibilities are endless, you can use
velvet ribbon, woven ribbon etc...
I usually cut mine at about a half a yard (18 inches)
Fold your ribbon exactly in half and then....
I usually like to do 2, one big and small.....
you can also if you choose to, thread a seed bead in it,
which makes it look more elegant as well. ;)
You just made a very sweet and fashionable bookmark....
that I am sure you or one of your friends will heartily enjoy!
The neat thing about using them for a Bible is that you can mark 2 places at once. ;)

I hope all of you had a pleasant Friday and......
hope you have a truly blessed weekend!!
Many Blessings!!!

I LOVE THIS! Such a sweet idea! Would make a perfect, little "extra" when you give a book as a present to have one of those in it!

These are simply lovely! A wonderful idea for getting more bookmarks for yourself, but even more importantly blessing that reader in your life! It has given me a wonderful idea as what to do with the ribbon I have left from when I married..perfect!!!
May you have a blessed weekend!

You may want to ask Iris to delete you off of her hateroll. Great bookmarks, though!

Dear Miss Jen,
Your bookmarks are gorgeous! You are so creative! Thank you for sharing this. I have some lovely ribbon and vintage buttons that I will have to make into these lovely bookmarks!
I was so blessed by the quotes and scriptures for the Lord's Day and Thoughtful Thursday. Thank you so much! You are always such a blessing and encouragement to me.
