Bow Bookmarks

Sorry I haven't posted for a while. 
Today, I'll teach you how to make Bow Bookmarks. They're super cute, good for school, and so easy and quick!
First, you'll need ribbon or rickrack (about a hand length), a paper clip, and a pipe cleaner, wire, twist tie, or something of that nature.

To begin, take your ribbon and  form it into sort of an upsidedown triangle shape.
Then, scrunch down the center to make a bow shape. After that, use the pipe cleaner, etc. to secure the shape by folding it around a few times, leaving tails pointing down. Slide the paper clip up in between the tails of the pipe cleaner, then twist the tails with each other, then as one, wrap around the middle of the bow to make sure the paper clip won't fall off. 

Since I like how my bookmark looks with the pipe cleaner, I left it alone, finished. If you don't like the look of the wire you used, cut another piece of ribbon about 5 cm long, wrap it over the center, and use a dab of hot glue on the back.

And you're done! Have fun reading!
