Paperclip Bookmarks


Lately I have been on a major reading binge. I actually decided I was going to read every book we own. I also went to the library to get a card so I can get books there instead of spending god knows how much on book we don't have the room for. So instead of folding over the page in a book that is not mine I decided to amke a bookmark to use instead. I originally saw it with just a ribbon and a paper clip but I put my own spin on it.

HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED:
Paper clips
Ribbons
Paper scrapbook flowers or any shape you want
Bards
Sizzors

HERE'S WHAT TO DO:
Cut the string whatever length you like. I cut mine long enough to poke out the bottom of my books that way I never have to take the bookmark off the front of my book.
Attach bards to the flower with the string underneath leaving enough string to still work with.
Slip paper clip onto string.
Pull the other side throught the hoop, pull tight and double knot.
 And you're all done.
