Homemade Magnetic Bookmarks

These dandy little things are very easy to make. they require the following:
1. Any type of magnet with sticky-back (and I ended up using glue anyway)
2. x-acto knife or scissors
3. ribbon or fancy paper of your choice
4. "dries clear" glue of your choice
With paper, you cut paper strip the exact width of magnet, because it will get fringy if it hangs over. Cut the length of the paper so that you can set the two magnet pieces about a quarter of an inch apart. That way, when you fold it over the page(s) it has room to bend. The paper only lasts so many folds. That's why I switched to ribbon. With the ribbon, I just folded under the ends and stuck it to the magnets with tacky glue. The End.
