Ribbon bookmark

Making a bookmark with a piece of ribbon and an earring is a fun and easy way to use the remaining earring of a pretty set if you have lost one. 

You will need:

• Ribbon 
• Ribbon Clamp End Crimps (2 per bookmark)
• jump rings
• flat nose pliers
• round nose pliers
• ruler
• earrings from old jewelry

Here’s how to make them :

1. Measure ribbon and cut into the length you want. About 25 cm.
2. Place ribbon clamp on one end of the ribbon. Press down on ribbon clamp until it’s secure using flat nose pliers. Make sure the end cap is the right size for the ribbon.
3. If you want you can thread a buckle onto the ribbon. Make sure the buckle is the right size for the ribbon. If it's not the right size then it just looks silly.
4. Repeat the end clamping process on other end of ribbon. Using your pliers, carefully open a jump ring and attach earring.
5. Attach this to the clamp end.

Alternatively:

If your end clasps do not have loops on them to attach the jump ring to then you can use a D ring instead. Place a D ring at one of the ribbon ends. Make sure the D ring is the right size for the ribbon. Turn the ribbon over and apply a drop of fabric safe glue onto the tip of the ribbon. Fold the end over the ring and press closed for a few seconds. Leave to dry. Using your pliers, carefully open a jump ring and attach earring. Attach this to the D ring.

You can also add an earring to other side of ribbon.

Tips : 

Instead of earring's you can also use charms or pendants. I tried one with a pendant but it seemed way to heavy for the ribbon though.
