BOW PAPER CLIP BOOKMARKS

Got the idea from  How About Orange. These pretty little bookmarks were my 2011 Christmas gift stuffer. I used materials that i already have. Instead of fabrics, i used ribbons for the bow and i used those generic jumbo paper clips that were just waiting to be used.




 These are the things you will need. Not in the picture...glue gun.

4 1/2 inches of the wide ribbon and 2 inches for the thin ribbon .
Make a bow. Gather the middle part and sew it to secure the ends of the ribbon.
Wrap the bow and attach it to the paper clip. Sew to secure making sure it is tight enough.
Follow w/ a glue gun to make sure it is secured and attached tightly to the paper clip.



A few of what i made ;)



Aren't they cute?

  2. Barbara...i surely can send some your way...i have a lot. That's so cool, i can see a budding Martha Stewart in Ada:). Isn't that amazing that she shows interest at an early age?
    Thank you for your compliment, an honor coming from somebody who takes good pictures. I frequently open my cookbook and this bookmarks are put to use big time ;)
