Most of us love a good read, the chance to escape the day and venture into another life. Coupled with this great passion is the use of bookmarks. Unless you have endless hours on your hands to complete a book in one go! We all have the need of marking a page. Turning over the corner never works very well if previous readers have done the same!
There are many bookmarks that you can purchase or make yourself from card to materials. My favourite type of bookmarks are metal one, preferably silver plated to add that little bit of quality that wont break the bank. You can purchase silver plated bookmarks in kit form, not only are they very satisfying to create but also make lovely gifts for your loved ones.
Armiga has a beautiful range of bookmark kits, the silver plated bookmark sits inside the book marking your current page, hanging over the spine is the individual design constructed with beads and hanging charms.
They are easy to make using head pins and eye pins. The beads thread on the head pins then using round nose pliers you can make the loops to attach the hanging charms from. There are many designs from colourful matching beads to designs with letter beads spelling out mum, dad, nana, and gramps. They come with full and easy to follow instructions. Great idea for presents or to give a friend along with your favourite book as a special birthday present.
