bookmark


I found this simple pattern online and decided to try out using crochet threads. It turned out far easier than I expected, you just need to make sure you get the correct hook size.

I've decided to let T present this bookmark to his teachers on Teachers' Day. I saw some similar beaded bookmarks on sale on ebay but they are really too cute for T's teachers. I think this is more 'elegant'?

I have this thing about giving handmade gifts, it is so much more meaningful and personal. As much as I can, I try to make something instead of buying, it may take me more time (and sometimes more expensive) but the joy seeing someone enjoying the gift is simply priceless.
