If you are ever looking for an easy but thoughtful gift for a teacher, here's a tutorial on how to make your own beaded bookmarks. I like to make these and give them to my colleagues. There's not a teacher I know who doesn't at some point need a bookmark. :) 

What I love about these bookmarks is that they won't fall out of your book, they won't damage the pages, and they look beautiful dangling out from the pages. I also love their name: book "thongs." Because they go in the crack of your book. 

You can follow the visual tutorial pictures here for making the bookmarks. If you do not have the exact supplies, that's OK. You can improvise or use materials you prefer or are more comfortable with. Feel free to pin the tutorials on Pinterest or link to this post.

Here is the tutorial for making a beaded "dangle" to pretty-up your beaded bookmarks. 
(These can also be used for making earrings, necklaces, fringe, sun-catchers, etc..)

If you are interested in making the personalized charms, which can be attached to the jump or split ring, I blogged about making the charms in a separate post HERE

  4. I am using orange ribbon for kidney cancer/COPD awareness and some of my mom's mismatched jewlery paired with beads to share with our family and friends to remember/ honor her.

  5. When the music stops, the players must locate a comfortable place to sit. The player left without a chair is eliminated, and one chair from the circle is removed. Murder mystery party
