Instructions
Step 1: Find what you need
- Gather your supplies and materials.
Step 2: Prepare your cord
- Cut an 18 inch piece of cord.
- Tie a knot as close to one end of the cord as possible.
Step 3: Add the first beads
- Begin adding beads to the cord, letting them fall down next to the knot.
- Use letter beads to construct a message for your bookmark. Then add more beads, mirroring the first ones, so it looks the same on both sides.
- Make another knot in the cord, placing it as close to the last bead as you can.
Step 4: Measure a book length
- Use a ruler to measure 9 inches from the end of the beads.
- Make a knot at the 9 inch mark.
Step 5: Add the last beads
- Add beads to the other end of the bookmark. Here we've made the same bead pattern and added more letter beads to finish our "Book Worm" saying.
- Make another knot right after the beads and cut off any excess cord.
- Your beaded bookmark is complete!
- Have fun making bookmarks for all your friends, using various colours of beads and spelling out different messages. Find more fun ideas below!
