Paperclip Bookmark

Paperclip Bookmark

The other day I was reading an article on Yahoo! about simple crafts and I found an idea on how to make button bookmarks. That got me thinking. How could I make a simple idea of using some hot glue to fix a button to a paperclip even more simple? Well, this is what I came up with. I used a big metal paperclip and a pendant. I simple "threaded" the pendant on the paperclip (just lift one end of the wire and put it through the metal ring of the pendant to do this) and voila: my brand new bookmark is ready :-)
You can use any kind of pendant for this. I just happend to have this one left over from some bracelet kit, but you could also use charms for lucky-charm bracelets, small necklace pendants or any other thing that will hang off the paperclip. If you don't have any pendants, just find some beads and a piece of thread. Put the beads on the thread and tie the thread to the paperclip - it will look great, too!
I hope you have fun making the new bookmarks!
