Decorating with Bookmarks

Have You Ever Thought Of Decorating with Bookmarks?

I have bookmarks all over my house. Because I am an avid reader and a collector of bookmarks, as are my to children, I decided to try some decorating. Not only do I collect bookmarks and read books, I also collect antique books. My favorite things ti decorate are my antique books on display.




Other ways to decorate with bookmarks include, using them as curtain tiebacks. You can use more than one:


You can also use a single bookmark:


Another way to decorate your curtains is to hang bookmarks from the curtain rods:


Decorate your wall sconces:



You can do just about everything with bookmarks. I have them all over my house. I have my entire handmade stock of bookmarks just hanging around in my work room.













I also have bookmarks hanging from doorhandles:



I think, though, that my favorite thing to decorate would be my antique books that I have displayed:














Decorating with bookmarks can be really fun. I make my own bookmarks and enjoy creating designs that are original and beautiful enough to use as either an actual bookmark or for display.

Use your imagination. If you are a book...and bookmark...lover like I am, this is a great to show everyone who visits your home just how creative you can be with something that you absolutely love to do.

I hope that I have given some of you book lovers something to think about. I have also considered somehow decorating the stacks of books I have piled on my floor. If I come up with something, I will let you know.



Enjoy Decorating With Bookmarks!
