Ribbon Bookmarks

Never lose your place again!

As a former music director, my choirs always struggled with not having enough book marks for their hymnals. So, I set out to solve the problem and this solution worked well for all of us.

To make ribbons for Bibles, hymnals, and books, follow these steps:

1. Select your ribbon colors (satin works well)

2. Cut the ribbon strings to your desirable length

3. Optional: tie a small knot at the end of the ribbon

4. Cut a piece of poster board to wrap around the ribbons-usually 3 x 3

or 3 x 4 works, depending on the size of the opening in the spine of the

book you are placing the bookmark in

5. Neatly arrange the ribbons closely together, keeping them straight

5. Glue the ribbons onto the poster board piece

6. Fold the poster piece over (in half or tri-fold)

7. It's optional to glue the poster board again for closure

Open the desired book or Bible and slide the poster board portion into the gapping space in the book's spine. Now you have plenty of page markers for your Bible or book!

By following these steps, you can create beautiful ribbons for your bibles and hymnals to mark your favorite passages or songs! No more losing your place.

Sing to God, sing praises to his name;

      lift up a song to him who rides through the deserts;

his name is the LORD; exult before him!

Psalm 68:4-6
