Firstly, thank you all for the enthusiasm that has made us come through two successful swaps and we are ready for our third one to kick off!!! Am excited and hope you guys continue to show the excitement you have shown in the previous swaps and rock it this month too!!!
Okie enough of blabbering of the past swaps..lets come to the current one!!!
This month we are looking at "Bookmarks" ...yeah simple is it??? but we have a twist here...sorry guys cant be so plain and simple with us BB Gossip Gurls and yes as said before our aim is to try new stuff and pull ourselves and you from the comfort zone that we prefer living in!!! So get ready for the twist!!!
Kindly find below a few varieties of bookmarks .....now each one of you who register for this swap is to make atleast 5 different kinds of bookmarks following the list given below!!! You can choose any 5 as per your feasibility!!! You cannot repeat the variety/style at any cost!!!
** WARNING: this is a picture heavy post!!!
A. Paper Bookmarks:
1. Normal Bookmarks- 6 inches X2.5 inches
2. Corner Bookmarks- anything above 3 inches square
3. Magnetic Bookmarks- final end product after the middle fold should be 6 inches X2.5 inches
Magnets attached only at the edges (the black strip that you can see in the inside side...need to attached on both ends)
You cant see the magnets here ...but this is made in the similar fashion as above but magnetic dots are used instead of strips.
The full bookmark has magnetic attached....this is the most sturdy magnetic bookmark!!! I can vouch for this one!!!
Another magnetic bookmark

I just love making bookmarks!!! How about me going along with you guys and make 5 different bookmarks??? I am gonna swap it with myself.. ;)
I am loving the way you peeps are bringing the best out of all the crafters... Keep the momentum...
What an awesome post-- so many varieties ...such a lot of research and hard work must have gone into this-- I am so impressed!! Thank You girls!
Saumya I have never made bookmarks before so please guide as to the general size and what thickness paper would give a good functional one. Once I am sure I will be able to do a good job then shall register otherwise I would be too nervous!
Doc your questions are answered in the blog post now...kindly see the sizes against their names ....
what a wonderful swap!!!simply awesome idea..
i want to kno can v tweak the dimensions and experiment with different materials and techniques....
hugs
Ash
Hi ash....dimensions is something we would not want to alter as we want some uniformity in the swap. However, let us know what in terms of materials and techniques do you want to experiment.....we may give it a thought.
Wow , would love to make different types of bookmark .Creative idea...
I do have some doubts regarding hooked jewellery bookmarks...can I get a bit more info?
Hey Deepti,
We shall soon be sharing some tute links on our blog so please keep a close watch on this space and am sure your queries would be addressed. In case you still have any doubts please write back to us and we would be happy to help!
And I have another doubt, Should we make 1 in all 5 categories or more?
Kindly bear with me..... I will be asking many questions since i have never made all these things ever....
Deepti. Categories have been made only to avoid as much overlap as possible....u can choose all in one category or one from each category as per your feasibility ....we are just looking at 5 different styles of bookmarks listed on the blog. Hope I have answered your query and don't worry we have also not tried all the styles mentioned here....it's gonna be a learning experience for us too! And we are happy to help anyone with their doubts.
