Tutorial: Bow Bookmarks


Don't you just think these are the cutest little bookmarks ever?! :)
A few minutes, some scraps of fabric, paper clips and a couple drops of hot glue and you too can make a "Little Bow Bookmark"!
These bookmarks are so easy and quick to make that you can end up with more than you know what to do with! :)

Scissors
Scrap Fabric
Paper Clips
Hot Glue Gun
Wire


Cut a strip of fabric 6 1/2 inches to 7 inches long.
Lay one end of the strip of fabric over the other end and scrunch the middle.
Wrap a small piece of wire around the middle to hold the scrunch...it now should look something like the picture above.

Make a French knot by taking a smaller piece of fabric and tying a knot on it, like the picture above.
Place the knot in the center of the bow and then bring the excess fabric to the back securing it with a dot of hot glue. Cut the rest of the fabric off with your scissors.

Turn your bow on it's back and apply a dot of hot glue in the center, adding a paper clip quickly to the glue before it dries...
and as quick as a wink you have an adorable little bow bookmark that will
save your books pages in a unique and cute way!
