Stella is an avid reader as am I and when I saw a picture of this somewhere on my internet travels – it made the craft “To Do” list. I thought it would be perfect for my cookbooks, since I am always tearing little pieces of paper to mark all the recipes I want to try. Stella loved doing this and cannot wait to make more, she could only make one since she had a lot of homework.
Paperclip Bookmark
Items needed
Large paperclip
Ribbon, yarn, string
Beads, bells
1. Get all your items out and decide on what you are going to use.
2. Cut your string or yarn or whatever you have chosen to use – we both cut 3 pieces. You will want them sort of long since they will be knotted and doubled over.
3. String them through the paperclip – the end that does not go on the paper first. Line up the ends and then tie a knot.
4. You can leave it as is or you can add some beads, knots, bells – you decided. Both Stella and I decided to use beads.
5. Place the paperclip on a page and now you have 6 page markers if you need them.
This is a really fast craft and simple. I am going to make several of these and place them in my most used cookbooks and craft books. Stella is going to try and bead the strings next time so that all you have is beads!
