    Christmas gift idea from a need I had

    I wanted a new book mark for my Bible with 4 ribbons to mark different places in my Bible. So, I cut the needed length of ribbon = 2 piece, sewed a button in the middle, put a dab of clear nail polish on ends of ribbon to prevent fraying and da da - a button book mark. I'm trying to post a picture of it. But after trying for 15 minutes it won't work. Hope you can understand the directions.

    A nice extra for the bargain books I like to give. Plus, these would be great in with a Christmas card (just a little additional postage). Thanks!

    Finally! I used vintage buttons. I'm getting requests all the time. Little do they know they're getting one for Christmas!
