How to Make a Beaded Bookmark 

As a passionate book lover, I’m always on the lookout for unique accessories that enhance my reading experience. Recently, I discovered the joy of making my own beaded bookmarks, and I’m excited to share this simple yet delightful project with you!

In this tutorial, I’ll guide you step-by-step through the process of creating a stunning beaded bookmark that not only keeps my place but also adds a personal touch to my favorite books.

This is a perfect project for both seasoned crafters and beginners who want to explore their creativity with colors and patterns. So, let’s gather our materials and dive into crafting a beautiful beaded bookmark that will make each reading session a little more special!

Supplies:

• 18 inches of waxed Thread – Michaels or Joann Fabrics
• 5 glass beads – Michaels, Joann’s Walmart, any bead shop
• Shrinky Dinks for Inkjet Printer
• 7 spacer beads – Michaels or Joann Fabrics, any bead shop

You can always just buy a metal charm. Or you can simply use beads with no charm. Put Hawaii charm on the string.

Knot the Hawaii charm in place. You will tie two knots, notice the pictures. Tighten.

At this point cut the tiny little string that was leftover from the knot or tuck extra string through the beads that follow.

It is up to you whichever you prefer.

NOTE: If your cord untwists press it to form a point. That will make it easier to string your beads on.

Add a spacer bead, a glass bead, a spacer bead, a glass bead, and a spacer bead.

Tie an overhand knot as close to the last spacer bead as possible.

Measure the length you want the bookmark.

I use a book to measure. Tie a knot on that side.

Now we are on the other side of the bookmark.

Add a spacer bead, glass bead, spacer bead, glass bead, spacer bead, glass bead, spacer bead.

Tie an overhand knot as close to the last spacer bead as possible.

Cut the remaining string.
