Book Thongs...

topic posted Sun, April 30, 2006 - 2:04 PM by  V Ron
Okay - this is another gift I did for x-mas. I did not come up with the idea - they are playfully called book "thongs", but basically they are bookmarkds on stong thread and beaded. When I made them I added a charm that to me represented each person - or something they liked.

Here is a link the photo gallary where I posted a pic... of all of them together. :)

      Thanks V Ron, and welcome! That really is a great idea. I hadn't thought much about bookmarks, but they would make an especially great gift for kids-- sort of an encouragement to read! You could give a handmade bookmark for almost any reason: good report card, new milestone reached, or just because.

        Oh, you know what? For kids, you could give one bookmark already made along with the supplies to make another, so they could give one to a friend. That would be doubly great!
