I normally don't make bookmarks, but I did these last week when preparing for a craft fair. I tried doing a pattern with the ones on the left, but decided it wasn't worth the effort. My son gave me the idea of switching colors of the weft yarn for each section on the middle ones. I made them thinner, planning to be bracelets, but I couldn't figure out how to tie them. Heidi from PrettyPigeon.com showed me how her leather cuffs close with a suede drawstring.
The red and white bookmarks turned out the best. I experimented with patterns on a striped background(normally I do pick-up patterns on a dotted background). They turned out great, and I never got bored because I switched patterns so often.
