Button Bookmarks are very easy to make. I had made some and then discovered them in this button book. 
I like to use grosgrain ribbon due to it's strength to hold up the weight of a button or two. You really could use any ribbon and either double it or sandwich it with some fusible interfacing. This bookmark actually has buttons on each side of the top. A plain side and a fancy side if you like. It isn't necessary to put buttons on both sides as it tends to make the bookmark too top heavy. 
These fun pink bookmarks are merely folded over about an inch on the top and have a couple of fun buttons stacked and tied with twine or ribbon or crochet thread. 
This one appears to be my favorite. I used some ribbon that my sister had wrapped my birthday present with. The fun flowers are perfect with this color combination.
I think once you get started you will find a ton of ideas just flood forth. The combinations are endless and the time is minimal for each bookmark. This would even be a good fundraiser item. Now I hope you will see your ribbons and buttons in an entirely new dimension. Now back to the studio for more creative ideas. This is the season for lots and lots of gift giving and I am one who loves to give handmade gifts. Our family always believed those were the best gifts to give. Lots of time and thought and love put into each and every gift made.
What are you making?
Happy creating...
wow

Hi Sherry! I hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving and you're now enjoying the long weekend (and having lots of fun creating!)...These bookmarks couldn't get any cuter! Ribbons and buttons...how perfect!...I also loved your oversized Christmas ornament cards, AND what you've got going on your work table as well. You're right, there's nothing as special as a handmade gift...Sounds like you got hit with that snow. I'm so jealous! I love the snow, but so far nothing here, but a few flurries the other day. My fingers are crossed for another white Christmas, even if the odds of it happening again this year aren't in my favor...It's so nice to visit here. You're always up to something fun! xo Paulette
ReplyDeleteVery nice. I have so many readers in my family...now I have a perfect partner with books I am gifting. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteNow this is such a cute idea, I think I should give it a try! I think the aqua one is my favorite too, well they are all darling!
ReplyDeleteHave a glorious weekend. xxxx
