How to Make a Beaded Bookmark 

Supplies:
Where to Find:
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.
