DIY Beaded String Bookmark with Playful Charms

DIY Beaded String Bookmark with Playful CharmsThis bookmark is like jewelry for your books. The beads dance along the string, catching light and adding personality to even the simplest paperback.

As you design it, you get to choose the colors and charms that reflect your mood such as tiny flowers for something sweet, wooden beads for a natural touch, or glass beads for elegance.

Once finished, it hugs the pages without slipping, keeping your place in style.

It’s a simple project that lets you create a tiny treasure, perfect for gifting or keeping as your own reading companion.

Materials Needed

  • Elastic cord or nylon thread (12-14 inches long)
  • Assorted beads (8-12 mm mix of plastic, wood, or glass)
  • Decorative charms or flower beads (2-3 pieces, optional)
  • Scissors
  • Clear glue (to secure knots)

Step-by-step Guide

Step 1: Cut a length of elastic cord about 12-14 inches. This size works well for most standard novels.

Step 2: Slide your beads onto the cord, mixing colors and textures for a playful look. Then place your decorative flower or charm beads near the ends for balance.

Step 3: Once you’re happy with the pattern, tie a secure double knot at both ends.

Step 4: Add a drop of clear glue on the knots to keep them tight, then trim off any excess cord.

Step 5: Let the glue dry before using. To test, wrap the string around your book—it should fit snugly without pulling.

Notes:

You can make several at once and match them with your favorite nail polish or seasonal colors. They also make thoughtful handmade gifts for friends who love to read.
