Types of Bookmarks
If you read, you have probably found a need for a bookmark. We never get to finish a book in one sitting without at least one interruption. They happen which means most of the time we need a bookmark of some sort. But where?
There are many kinds out there to fit every reader. The obvious is the ones you buy at the store. But we don’t always have them handy, or, if you are like me, too many people move your things and you can never find them you need them. I’m always in need of a bookmark when I have a print book in my hand. Bookmarks can be slips of paper, pictures or bookmarks that are unique and even conversation pieces. They can be anything.
Impromptu Bookmarks
A piece of string — A bookmark can be a piece of string or cord that might or not might be attached to a book. It can be of various types of material that help you mark your spot. I’ve seen people use colored or plain ones depending on what is available. Crafters usually have more choices.
Ribbon — Any ribbon can be used to mark your place. Many bookmarks are made for religious, ethnic, or organizational purpose. Typically they are satin or silk. Some come with tassels or charms. These can be fun to collect for any age. Some can just be a piece of ribbon from hair pieces or craft projects.
