    I keep learning new stuff... like make sure the back is right side up--if necessary, be sure to push the seams all the way out, center the grommets, and use tweezers to place the steam and seam...

    I should be able to make a lot of these in the next few months for that Nov craft show. I love making the tops--am not fond of the busy work that comes afterwards. Then again--that's how I feel about every top I've made. :roll:

    I'm very excited to make them for my students' Christmas gifts this year--way quicker than the ornaments I've made.

    the backs...

    Very cute! I think they will be very popular. Everyone uses bookmarks. Even those that don't read (gulp!) can mark magazines, cookbooks, craft books, etc.

    Do you have beads for the string? Just a thought even though I love them.

    Those are great, Karla! They are going to be very popular at the craft fair. How much $ are you planning to sell them for?

    $5 was floating around my head but hasn't landed--too much? Is $3 or $4 better?

    I'm open to suggestions.

    No pattern--just the string squares cut up.
