Braided Ribbon Bookmark
Author: 
 
Make a pretty six-stranded braided ribbon bookmark.
You'll need...
  • 6 spools of ribbon
  • Scissors
Here's what to do...
  1. Cut six equal pieces of ribbon, one of each color.
  2. Layer the ribbons on top of each other and tie a knot in one end.
  3. Spread the ribbons out from the knot so that you can see each individual ribbon.
  4. Right weave - Pick up the ribbon on the far right and weave it over the ribbon to its immediate left, and then under the next one, stopping at the middle.
  5. Left weave - Pick up the ribbon on the far left and weave it over the ribbon to its right, under the next ribbon and over the third ribbon, stopping again in the middle.
  6. Continue alternating the right weave (over-under) with the left weave (over-under-over). As you get further along, it will be a little easier to handle.
  7. When your bookmark is the length you want, tie another knot to finish, and trim the ends. Sometimes the bookmark curls at first; you can just iron it a little until it lies flat.
