Artsy Crafty Bookmarks

Working with beads and bookmarks is a neat way of expressing your creativeness.  It does not only work on garments or jewelry, it works totally everywhere!  By just releasing the creativeness out of your system, you can recreate fun and notable items that you and your loved ones can share together. 

Have you got friends, relations or significant others who loves reading so much?  Or do you know of someone who studies day in and out just about not having sufficient time to spend with you?  Well you can make that person remember your fun memories together by gifting him or her with a beaded bookmark!  It’s so straightforward to make, incredibly simple and absolutely no hassle!  These beaded bookmarks are totally fun to use whether you adorn a store-bought bookmark with beaded tassels or make it fully from nothing.  Now your significant other will never forget you irrespective of what she is doing! 

Beaded bookmarks will make your books looks so fancy as they drape over your hardbound book bringing uniqueness to a row of books on the shelf.  If you need to make a fancier bookmark, you can do so by placing tassels over the top and the base of the bookmark.  Coupled with a book or a book, these fancy and inexpensive items will make fantastic gift items any time of the year!  These make a great Christmas gift idea. Present given to family and friends don’t have to be dear so they might be appreciated. 

Instead of purchasing a new bookmark, why don’t you try to unleash your creativity?  It is worth a try!  What reminds you best of the person you are giving the bookmark to?  Do you have a photograph of that person with you in it?  Take that photograph and edit it in the internet.  Add on some meaningful message either at the back of the bookmark or below your picture.  You can add some glitter in it if you’d like too.  Have your work-of-art laminated. 

Next, punch a hole into the uppermost portion of the bookmark.  You can now create the beaded tassel.  All that you need is a string or a hemp cord and some assorted beads painted in different colors with holes that are big enough to fit the rope.  If you would like to create a more dashing look, you can substitute the string with an embroidery thread and tie a few of your colored beads to the end part or finish it off with a dangling charm.  Secure the tassel in place by stapling it or gluing it up to make it more secure.  Straightforward isn’t it? 

When you have the hang of making bookmarks and have given a few away, why not sell your own beaded jewelry creations? Reading is an extremely well liked entertainment and everyone is always watching out for a personalised bookmark.
