DIY bookmark XMAS

Materials: Silicone

Difficulty: Simple

This set contains all supplies for making a homemade bookmark XMAS with silicone beads. We also list all the materials from this set above. If you want to assemble one yourself, see which beads we use and then choose your own color creation.

The bookmark XMAS is very easy to make. We actually make this in the same way as an ordinary keychain. You take the white satin cord and fold it in half. Now you have a loop on one side and two ends on the other. Then we look at our bookmark. At the end there is a ring-shaped part. You take the satin cord at the loop side and thread it a little through this opening. Then you take the ends and put them through the loop and pull.

You can now the beads onto this. Optional is to at the top a knot to make before you start threading and your beads over it to pull. We do this ourselves usually not because we like to choose smaller beads to use and you the knot here not so good in away can work. Additionally, we find it little contribute for a creation such as this. It adds actually nothing. After you all beads onto it have threaded we still a knot to make. We recommend ourselves to at the top, 0.5 – 1 cm cord length to keep where you nothing thread. This ensures that the bookmark also beautifully can dangle. For the at the bottom tying off of this kind of bookmarks we recommend it to no flat knot to use. The ends then namely the tendency to to left and to right to go stand. What you do is you lay an e-shaped loop on table after you the ends through this loop through do.

Pull this first very gently towards the beads. Then you slide with your other hand the knot as much as possible up and pull you the knot tight. Pay attention, not too tight, otherwise are you at the top your extra length lost for the dangling and stands the bookmark so directly tight sideways. This way of charms making is a real must-have skill. The first time is it possibly some practice, but as you it more often do it gets increasingly easier! You cut the ends after about 1 cm after the knot off. Another tip, burn the ends very briefly with a lighter. I do often the lighter on and do in a smooth movement just the ends past/through it. This makes your charm not fray.
