I love writing. I've got a combination of a diary, art journal, smash book and scrapbook. Try as I might, I can't conform to just one. I just let my creativity take over and go with the flow.
And while I like store bought supplies, I love making them on my own. Especially when they're so simple and easy.
Today I'm going to show you how to make your very own paper clip and ribbon page markers. These can also be used as bookmarks.
You will need:
* Paper clips - I prefer coated clips to metal for the simple reason that it's way too humid here in Goa and they get rusty quick.
* Satin ribbon - in this tutorial I've used 1/4" ribbon.
* Your trusty sharp scissors
Cut a 4" piece of your ribbon and place the center over the front of your paper clip.
Take the right end and from the back bring it forward through the top loop of the paper clip.
Do the same for the left end. Hold both the ends and pull straight up.
Make sure its tight and firm.
Trim the edges into a nice 'v' with a sharp pair of scissors. And your page marker is ready.
I hope this little tutorial helped.
I would love to hear back from you.
Xoxo
Karen.
