Ribbons Bookmark

This bookmark was inspired by a bookmark made of satin ribbons I saw in a Bible at church. I thought to myself, I really should make one of those for the book of common prayer we use at church. So I designed this one made of thread.

Small amount size 30 crochet cotton. Pastel variagated colors. Solid color can be used.
Size 11 steel crochet hook
Tapestry Needle for weaving in ends

Instructions
Make 6 the same. Leaving a 12" end, ch102. Dc in 3rd ch from hook and in each chain across. Fasten off leaving another 12" end.

Bring all 6 "ribbons" together so that all of the ends are together as one thick strand. Tie all ends into a knot as close to the end of the crochet work as possible.

Divide the ends into 3 sections and braid them together to form a tail which is 4½" long. Tie another knot at the end of the braid. Cut the ends leaving a ½" tail from the knot.

Use each ribbon, to save a place in your book.

Random Quick Tip!

No Crochet Beaded Garland
Use colorful Christmas yarn and assorted beads to make a garland. No need to crochet for this one. You will need a needle with a large enough eye so that you can get the yarn through it and also small enough to go through the beads you want to use. Then to work the beads on so that they will stay on but not be all bunched together, cut your yarn so you have about 30 feet. The tie a bead on one end and put the needle on the other. Then string on another bead, but pass the needle through it twice the same way, then knot the yarn close to the bead so it will stay where you want it. then repeat this with as many beads as you can fit on your yarn. Make each bead about 3/4" to 1" apart. You can use a wide variety of beads this way and get a very beautiful effect depending on what you use for yarn. A metallic yarn with plain beads would be very pretty.
