Yes, it is just my opinion, but I’ll say it as though it is a fact: books always make great gifts. I love giving books. I love receiving books. And it is easy to make pretty ribbon bookmarks to personalize your gifts even more!
Start with a length of beautiful
velvet ribbon.
Use choker clamps to attach beads and baubles to the ends.
Amy’s bookmarks are in our design gallery, where you’ll also find a list of the exact supplies she used to make them.
Sure, Kindles and other e-readers are gaining popularity, but nothing really compares to curling up with an actual paper book and a big mug of your favorite beverage. Make the moment even more indulgent with a luxurious bookmark! Need a jewelry-making book to gift (to a friend or maybe yourself)? Here are three recommendations:
Jewelry Lab by Melissa Manley
Wire Style 2 by Denise Peck (includes DVD)
The Encyclopedia of Contemporary Jewelry Making Techniques by Vanetta Seecharran.
Happy reading! ~ Cindy
