I saw these posted on another board a few weeks ago and thought Id try them out..have many friends and family members who love to read.
They are called book thongs..like a book bark. The thread/rope, whatever sits in teh seam of the book and the charms hang below the closed book.
Was so simple to make! Heres my first test one....
then the directions as well
