Beaded Bookmarks

Today I made some beaded bookmarks, because yesterday I finally got hold of the metal bookmarks that I need for this!

I used a variety of size 11 seed beads, bicones, metal & plastic charms, loop rings, head pins, eye pins, spacers, a plastic pearl bead and glass crackle beads.

Here are some close ups of some of the bead combinations that I made:

I used a butterfly-wings metal charm, added a plastic pearl for the head and seed beads for the body, and put it all together on a head pin.

I used headpins for these 3 danglies as well.  I added a seed bead, a bicone, a smaller bicone, and looped the end to finish it off.

Here I made a dangly using a head pin and adding on a seed bead, a bicone, a pink glass crackle bead, and another bicone and seed bead.  I added a plastic butterfly charm onto a piece of headpin, and attached it to the dangly using 3 loop rings.

Here added some seed beads and bicones to eyepins, and attached a metal charm to the end of the eyepin using a loop ring.

I've made them as gifts before - great for those ladies who like to read a lot! :)
