Cabochon Bookmarks

May232011 posted by Jamie 18 Comments

as much as us girls want to call these conchobon bookmarks
(since that’s what we’ve been calling them for the past year or so)
they are really called cabochons. which means…
a gem or bead cut in convex form and highly polished but not faceted.
(i really like conchobons better)
but, whatever you decide to call them, today we’re going to share a way to turn them into pretty little bookmarks.
 
Supplies: [affiliate links included]
Cabochons
Large Paper Clips
E-6000 Glue
 
just dab some E-6000 glue onto the paper clip glue pad and place cabochon on until dry.
for extra cuteness… spray paint paper clips with your favorite colors (priming first, of course)
and there you have it… the cutest little bookmark holding your spot.
So quick. So easy. You’ll be making them for all your book loving friends. 🙂

    What sizes of the flowers and bookmark clips do you use? Thanks for the great idea- I've seen many rings made with these flowers- so cute!
