I made these for a raffle I'm hostessing on another forum.

They are made from glass and metal beads. The pearl one though is made from vintage, 1960's faux pearl beads and glass seed beads.

Those are really nice! I like that red/brown one. I do read alot, and sure would beat turning down the page corner.

I made them on 8 lb fishing line and tied the beginning and end beads on as if they were fishing lures. I just need to add a drop of crazy glue on the knots to be sure they never come undone.
Glendann Etsy is a great site for buying things handmade. After the raffle I may post what I have leftover there. There are a lot of other peoples beaded markers there now.

What a great idea Wrennie - so much better than the bookmarks I make!! I love that blue one although they're all beautiful. I don't think you'll need luck with the raffle as the tickets will go like hot cakes when folks see your work.

Wow, I thought they were pretty Before I clicked the thumbnail, they are really gorgeous!!!!
I had an etsy account, and an artbyus one, but I'm such a computer noodlehead I could never do anything with them. I bet those will do really well!

Wrennie, how long do you make these bookmarks? They are beautiful and what a wonderful party favor or hostess gifts, secret Santa gifts, etc. I have tonz of bead, seed beads and bugle beads. Sounds like I have a little project to work on! Thanks for sharing.

Theyre about 13". Just hold it next to a book as you make them to be sure its long enough.
Stratsmom I just made one with a cross on the end and gold beads.

Those are ALL so lovely Wrennie. I couldn't choose just one, I'd have to take them all...including the one with the cross on it. Thanks for sharing.
