Rosette Book Mark

I had our MOPS group make these cute rosette book marks for our craft project at today’s meeting! I found the idea on this blog via Pinterest.

The rosette is made out of fabric and hot glued to a giant paper clip. It can be used as a book mark or to hold together stacks of papers, bills, mail, ect.

I watched this vlog to learn how to make the rosettes. They were very easy to make!

I bought the giant papers clips in packs of 5 for around $2.50 at Office Depot. I cut the fabric 2 inches wide by 18 inches long. That made a good-sized rosette without it being too big for the paper clip.

These were very easy and very inexpensive (about 65 cents each) to make! They would make great gifts and can be made in any color/fabric combo!

I seriously wonder where my craft ideas came from before Pinterest!! :)

Shut up. This is adorable. I refuse to embrace Pinterest, though, so I can be a little behind the times.

I like mine! I like a practical craft! (: Also using our coasters and my prayer box still. I am sure I am using other things but all three of those just happen to be beside me on my nightstand. You are doing a great job with the crafts this year friend!
