Ribbon Charm Bookmark Craft
You'll need:
- Ribbon
- Charms
- Scissors
Step 1: Cut a piece of ribbon about 45cm long. This length works well for most children’s books, but you can adjust it depending on the size of the books your young crafter reads. Fold the ribbon neatly in half so the ends line up. This fold will create the loop that sits at the top of the book.
Step 2: Slide your chosen charm onto the folded ribbon. Once the charm is in place, gently pull it up toward the fold so it sits securely.
Step 3: At the two loose ends of the ribbon, tie a small knot to keep the charm from slipping off. Make sure the knot is tight enough to hold but not so tight that it puckers the ribbon. Trim the ends if needed for a neat finish.
Creating a ribbon charm bookmark is such a simple way to slow down, get hands‑on, and enjoy a little screen‑free creativity. Kids love how quickly they can make something personal, and adults enjoy the calm, crafty moment just as much. Whether you keep your bookmark, gift it, or make a whole collection, it’s a sweet reminder that the best projects don’t need batteries — just a bit of ribbon, a fun charm, and a spark of imagination.
