Make A Beaded
Bookmark With The Information I Have
Provided Here
You can make a beaded bookmark with these simple
instructions. They make great gifts and people
love them. I use to use paper to make my place
and I even use to bend the page (which you are
not suppose to do). Now I use beautiful
bookmarks to save my place.
-
Supplies you will need for a seed bead bookmark.
14 to 16 inches of ribbon.
Your choice of color of seed beads. I used #6
beads for the main colors and #11 for the bottom
white beads. You will also need a regular bead
for the top of your bookmark
Beading needle and beading thread.
Instructions to make a beaded bookmark with seed
beads.
Tie a knot on one end of your ribbon. Trim the
ribbon end close to the knot. Thread the beading
needle and go through the ribbon knot to secure
the end of the thread. String on as many large
seed beads as you want the length to be. I used
21 large beads on mine. Now place 4 smaller seed
beads and take your needle back through the
larger beads. The small beads will form a loop
at the end. Run your needle back through the
ribbon knot. Repeat with another string of
beads. You can add as many strings as you would
like. When you have as many strings as you want
secure the end of the thread in the knot. I also
used bugle beads in my bookmark.
On the other end of your ribbon tie a knot about
2 inches from the end. Add a large regular bead
and then make another knot to secure the bead.
Trim the end of the ribbon and you now have a
bookmark.
Supplies you will need for the regular bookmark
You can use string, nylon cord, embrodiery floss
Beads of your choice
