The finished bookmark |

 |
Materials I used. |
| Step 1 |
.I found it easier to divide the materials into the pots
for each side of the bookmark. |
 |
| Step 2 |
 |
Pierce a hole near the end of the thong and pull the
needle right through. |
| Step 3 |
Push the wire into the hole and bend the end over so it
is nice and thin. |
 |
| Step 4 |
 |
Pull on a bead cap with a tiny bit of the thong through
the cap, so you can't see the join. |
| Step 5 |
Make sure the first bead is sitting next to the cap so
you can't see any join and then continue threading beads as you wish. |
 |
| Step 6 |
 |
Take a bead cage and gently prize the sides apart so you
can fit a bead in. |
| Step 7 |
Push the bead into the cage. |
 |
| Step 8 |
 |
Give it a little squeeze, so it is safely inside
and secure. |
| Step 9 |
Thread the cage onto the wire. |
 |
| Step 10 |
 |
Twist the end of the wire round itself so you have a
nice clean finish. |
| Step 11 |
Repeat steps 1 - 5 for the other end of the bookmark,
finishing with a large bead and a twisted end to keep it all secure. |
 |
| Step 12 |
 |
It should look something like this. |
| Finished |
Ta Da!!!!!! |
