These velvet ribbon bookmarks are so simple, but the finished result is gorgeous. I found the idea in Country Living Magazine, and had to make some in my own style. You won’t be able to make just one! I made mine to match my favorite genre, classic English Literature.
First, measure and cut the ribbon to nine inches (or whatever width you prefer to fit your favorite book!)
Next, Carefully insert the velvet ribbon into the end crimp pieces so it is straight and pushed all the way into the opening. Use your pliers to carefully clamp the crimp end down onto the ribbon on both sides, as well as the center to fully close the clamp.
Use split ring pliers to open the jump rings, and attach the pendants to each end of the bookmark, sliding the pendant around the jump ring until attached (just like a tiny keyring). You can use broken jewelry pieces, cool vintage key charms, or any pendant you love!
These would make great gifts to any special book lover in your life. I love that you can get so creative and make them in any style.
These can also be made with other types ribbons, like grosgrain. If you love this project, I would love for you to click through to my blog post below and pin it for later!
