https://www.tiktok.com/@coco_cessory/video/7473283690748005648We’d like to introduce a bookmark made with Indian embroidered ribbon that feels both vibrant and charmingly simple.
Cut the Indian embroidered ribbon to your preferred bookmark length, then thread soft wire along both sides of the ribbon.
Next, sew around the edges of the ribbon with thread.
Using a pale-colored thread will change the overall impression of the bookmark.
Hand-stitching adds a warm, handmade feel.
Add beads as accents, attach a flat ribbon or similar embellishment, and you’re done.
Give it a try!
Leather magnetic bookmark
Introducing a smart leather magnetic bookmark with a sophisticated, grown-up vibe.
While imagining how it will clip onto a book page, attach two magnets to the leather.
Glue the leather together so that the magnets are sandwiched inside.
Then stitch the leather with thread.
Once the glue has dried, fold it in half, sand the edges all around, and you’re done.
It grips firmly, so you won’t have to worry about the bookmark slipping out.

Here’s a simple triangular bookmark you can make with just one sheet of origami paper.
Prepare a sheet of your favorite origami paper.
Fold the paper into a square twice.
Tuck the corners of the folded paper inside, and your triangular bookmark is complete.
You can tuck in just one side, or tuck everything in to form a neat triangle—both are recommended.
It’s a simple, highly functional bookmark that makes it easy to spot the page you’re reading, so give it a try.
It could also be fun to make them together with friends or family!
magnetic bookmark
Let’s try making bookmarks with magnets.
Regular bookmarks usually go between the pages you’ve read.
By adding magnets to a bookmark, you can create one that also holds photos or messages.
Place origami, portraits, or photos inside a laminating sheet and laminate them.
It’s convenient to use no-machine laminating sheets—often available at 100-yen shops.
Once laminated, attach a magnet to the bottom part, and you’re done.
It’s a bookmark you’ll enjoy using yourself and one that would make a delightful gift for family and friends.
Origami and Sleek Ribbon Bookmark
Here’s how to make an original bookmark with origami and a neat ribbon.
Prepare origami paper and a ribbon to get started.
Fold the origami paper in half, then open it up and make creases horizontally and vertically as well.
As you add creases to divide it into thirds, shape it into a bookmark.
For the ribbon, tie a simple knot first, then thread it through the bookmark hole—this is the key to getting a clean, tidy knot.
Finish by applying fray-preventer to the ribbon’s cut ends.
Using patterned origami paper is recommended.
[Crochet] Flower Bookmark
![[Crochet] Flower Bookmark](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ePfPKQ6nX4o/sddefault.jpg)
We’re introducing a crochet flower bookmark that captures the warm feel unique to hand-knitting.
Gather yarn, a crochet hook, a tapestry needle, beads, scissors, and a threader to get started.
Use the crochet hook and yarn to chain stitch and form the stem and leaves.
Next, make the focal flower.
The key is to crochet the flower carefully to create a three-dimensional look.
Since this will be a bookmark, it’s best to choose yarn that isn’t too thick.
Adding beads to the center of the flower with glue will make it even cuter.
Give it a try!
Charm bookmarker
Introducing a charm-accented bookmark whose charm swings while you read.
Prepare a ribbon, jump rings, ribbon end clamps, and your favorite charms.
Fold the end of the ribbon over twice and cap it with a ribbon end clamp.
Place a scrap of cloth to protect the metal and close it with flat-nose pliers.
Repeat the same process for the other end of the ribbon.
Thread the highlight charm onto a jump ring and attach it to one end of the ribbon.
Add a charm to the other end as well to finish.
Customize it with your own flair, attach your favorite charms, and enjoy a delightful reading time.
