Re: Bookmarks

In a pinch, I’ll use anything as a book mark. I have a small box of cool, old fashioned looking bookmarks but it’s annoying how easily they fall out of my books. So I’ve been using small, magnetic bookmarks. They stay in the book well and they’re not big or strong enough to rip the page if I try to pull it out too quickly. I think they’re ideal.

I actually run an Etsy shop selling printable bookmarks! I love making them so much. Especially matching my bookmark to my current read. :techie-studyinggray:

That sounds like a cute bookmark. As for me, I use a variety of things as bookmarks, depending on what’s handy at the moment. Sometimes it's an actual bookmark, other times it's a random piece of paper, a receipt, or even a piece of tissue paper. I’ve even used a train ticket once! I guess anything flat and nearby works for me.

I tend to take a picture of the page I'm on and not use any bookmarks. I've been trying to be more crafty lately though, so I have been brainstorming on designing one that might be fun to have around. There are some pretty ones made with leather that I think might be lovely and cool to figure out how to make.
