Crafty Arty Bookmarks
Working with beads and bookmarks is a good way of expressing your creativeness. It does not only work on clothes or jewelry, it works totally everywhere! By just releasing the creativity out of your system, you can recreate fun and unusual items that you and your friends can share together.
Do you have friends, relations or significant others who loves reading so much? Or did you know of someone that 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 is so simple to make, incredibly simple and totally no hassle! These beaded bookmarks are completely 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 regardless of what he or 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 bottom of the bookmark. Coupled with a book or a book, these fancy and cheap items will make excellent gift items any time of the year! These make a great Christmas gift idea. Present given to family and friends do not have to be dear so they could be appreciated.
Instead of purchasing a new bookmark, why don’t you try to release 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 photo and edit it in the Net. Add on some meaningful message either at the rear of the bookmark or below your picture. You are able to 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 sufficiently large to fit the cord. 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. Simple is not it?
When you have the hang of making bookmarks and have given some away, why not sell your own beaded jewelry creations? Reading is an extremely well liked pastime and everyone seems to be always looking out for a customized bookmark.
