I've recently made a few beaded bookmarks, inspired by the many designs that I've seen on Etsy. I'm intending mostly to give mine away as gifts, though if I keep making more, then I will list some in the Crafty Green Poet Etsy shop! The designs in this post are the most simple ones, all you need are a few big beads and a nice piece of thick coloured thread. You simply measure the thread and add the beads at points just beyond the height of a book.
The book in the background is my poetry chapbook Unthinkable Skies.
What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteThat is a very good idea!
ReplyDeleteVery charming bookmarks. This is one reason why I can't give up traditional paper books, even though I like my Kindle for some things.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love these!
ReplyDeleteThese would be great. Paper book marks seem to disappear or slide out. These would stay put because the beads on either end would hold them in place.

I can't throw away
I like this very much.
ReplyDeletePerfectly in tune with the adjective "Crafty" which in Italian is a longer, and probably less flashing, word: "ingegnoso".
ReplyDeleteWe have a couple of these - they make the book look so intriguing to pick back up!
ReplyDeleteThese are neat, Juliet. So pretty, too.
ReplyDeletewhat a great idea to use leftover strings and funny-looking beads. one may even consider creating bookmarks that match particular books. either in color, or in theme.
ReplyDeletekeep up the creative work, congrats.
very nice, what a great idea!
