A pretty little photo bookmark to make


Photo from Crafts Unleashed
Here is a sweet little project that would make a lovely gift for grandparents: Photo ribbon bookmarks from Rena at Crafts Unleashed.

Some people may think bookmarks are becoming obsolete,  but I really don't think so.  I still like to keep a book at my bedside; it is more restful and sleep-promoting to me than trying to read on the Kindle.  Most people like to use a bookmark, or more than one,  in a Bible.  I also like them for marking a recipe in a cookbook.  My large recipe binder is on my counter right this minute.  I want to make a recipe from it for supper tonight, but didn't want to leave the huge binder open taking up valuable counter space until then.  So a bookmark holds the place until I'm ready to open up the binder and start cooking!

This bookmark is not only simple and pretty, but it has the additional feature of a treasured small photo.  You could even use a photo of a favorite place or a beloved pet.

I know I have some of these frame charms in my crafting stash.  They would be perfect for this enchanting project!

    1. Yes, isn't it clever? I'm not sure I would ever have thought of doing this, but I'm glad that Rena did. It's a wonderful idea!

  2. That is so cute! I just now could not find a bookmark and am depending, instead, on a get well card. ☺️

    I’ll be reading in the next couple of weeks, but probably not commenting often.

  3. Cute gift! My grandkids are always asking me for bookmarks. I give them for stocking stuffers and in Easter baskets. They're always a popular gift.
