What a lovely idea. Yes, you can't find a tassel intimidating either!!

I just found you and the bookmarks and I’m in love with both! You are so kind and informative, and the bookmarks are so fun!! Mine didn’t look like much at first, but the more I drew and put in, they actually came to life! Can’t stop!!💗

Watercolour paintings that I don't like, I cut up in smaller pieces to use as bookmarks. Then I can feel good about using the paintings instead of just throwing them away.

Beautiul idea! And if you are not the "tassle type" you can also use a ribbon. Sometimes I cut off the ribbon loops that are sown into clothing at the neck. I have actually used a blue one for a bookmark.

I love these tips for making your beautiful bookmarks. May I respectfully add that if you cut your own out of a watercolor pad, the paper is considerably less costly.
