Crochet bookmarks are a quick and easy project. You can use up any scrap yarn or embroidery thread lying around.

These bookmarks make great gifts for any book lovers in your life. You could easily pair any one of these bookmarks with a good book, that would be a great gift for anyone who loves reading.

They are useful and beautiful at the same time. All 3 patterns are free and have YouTube tutorials, so even if you are a beginner, you can do it!

Since these are small fast projects, they make good items to sell at craft fairs as they can also be sold at a lower price point.

HOW DO YOU CROCHET THESE EASY BOOKMARKS?

CROCHET CROSS BOOKMARKS:

These crochet cross bookmarks are easy to make. The pattern I followed is from a YouTube video by Anutha – The Crochet World.

The pattern is simple and straight-forward. You could make one in about 10 minutes!

I used a yarn I found at Joann’s craft store. You can add extras as I did. I attached around 6 strands of thread to give it a tassel look at the bottom. For the top, I added 6 strands of thread and braided them.

PRESSED FLOWER BOOKMARKS:

These bookmarks are so pretty, you cannot help but love them! They are made using a pattern by Hooked in Loops YouTube channel

The only thing that I did differently was to attach the tassel with a jump ring instead of a stitch, I found that looked better and was more sturdy.

I used size 10 crochet thread and a 1.5mm crochet hook.

If you would like to learn how to make a tassel, please look at this post: DIY Tassel Earrings

These bookmarks will be in my shop soon!

Update: These cute bookmarks are available now in my Etsy shop! Check them out Pressed Flower Crochet Bookmarks.

DANDELION BOOKMARKS:

This bookmark has a flower on both ends. Isn’t it pretty? I had to try it out when I saw it! This pattern is by Crafting with Caylene. You can watch her YouTube Video by clicking on the link.

I used cotton yarn from Hobby Lobby and a 3.75mm crochet hook.

Macrame Bookmarks are easy to make. You need to know a few basic knots and it uses a little cord. So, it is such a quick project.

When I was making these bookmarks my younger daughter said to me, “No one reads books anymore!”. Well, I beg to differ, I think lots of people read books, I hope I am not wrong! Leave me a comment if you still read books. I need to know if I am right or wrong!!

So anyway for all of you who read books, thank you! It’s definitely a different experience reading a book. Now, let’s see how to make these beautiful macrame bookmarks.

WHAT SUPPLIES DO YOU NEED FOR THESE MACRAME BOOKMARKS?

Soft cotton cord 2mm or 3 mm ( I got mine from Ganxxet)

Scissors (My scissors and brush are from MissKnottiemacrame)

Brush/comb

Giant paper clips (optional)

HOW DO YOU MAKE THESE MACRAME BOOKMARKS?

DIAMOND PATTERN BOOKMARK:

Secure about a 10 inch cord on your table/ work surface using tape.

Cut 4 lengths of cord to 150cms each.

Attach these macrame cords using a lark’s head knot onto the holding cord.

Make a diamond pattern using diagonal clove hitch knots on both sides. Then make a square knot in the center. Continue making the diamond pattern to complete your first diamond.

Continue with this pattern for the length you desire. I made about 5 diamonds

In the end, tie the remaining cords together with a gathering knot. Trim the ends. And brush out the cords.

To finish it, take the holding cord off the table and tie the 2 ends together to make a regular knot. Make another knot higher up and cut the excess cords.

That’s it your beautiful bookmark is ready!

It’s easy to make and it looks pretty in your books and serves a purpose!

I found this YouTube tutorial which is similar to the pattern I used.

PAPER CLIP BOOKMARKS:

I found these giant paper clips at Hobby Lobby. This is not my idea, I have seen these paper clip bookmarks in some Etsy shops and on Pinterest. The patterns that I made on these are just me experimenting with the knots I have learned. For all these 3 giant paper clip bookmarks, I used 3mm cords cut to approximately 30cms.

The first pattern is made by attaching 4 cords with reverse larks head knots and then making clove hitch knots on both sides. This is similar to the keychain pattern that I shared. You can check it out here.

The second pattern is a flower pattern, you can find the tutorial on YouTube by Soulful Notions. I have not done the exact pattern she showed but modified it a bit. I added 2 square knots below the flower. But you can tie the cords with a gathering knot at the end too as she shows in her video.

Finally, the third pattern is made by attaching 3 cords with larks head knots to the paper clip. Tie a square knot in the middle. Then make a V pattern tying diagonal clove hitch knots for two rows. Cut extra cords and brush out your fringes. You can find a similar pattern on YouTube by Holmmade Macrame.

Hope you liked reading about this macrame bookmark. If you try it out please let me know and share it with me on Instagram @lovetostayhomeblog. I would be happy to see your creations!
