Things went a bit differently with the tassel/bead end. I thought the kids would be tickled if I used alpaca yarn, but it was too soft on its own to use with beads, so I tied the two pieces together, rolled the ends up with tape, pushed a bead on, tied another knot, then pulled the tape off. It's not two beads each like last year, and I had to use ones that had bigger holes, but I wasn't going to do it twice to each one. I love my students, but.... :wink:
Background: students let me know their favorites: sports, season, animal. (without knowing why).. and I try my hardest to work that into their bookmark--front and back. Several this year just said "winter" so that was easy. I had to buy hockey, basketball, and football. I had lots of baseball and soccer, but those aren't popular this year. :roll: :lol: I always have many dog/cat/horse fabrics. Last year was big on penguins, and many mentioned them this year; I knew I was covered. I've already restocked for the most popular topics--figured if I was ordering hockey stuff, I might as well add more. :-D
I've been quite sick, so this has been a nice quiet activity for me to feel I'm accomplishing something! :|

The backs. The notes are labels with name and back idea.

The labels are important--each boookmark is made for a specific person!

I saw an earlier post when you had first started them...they turned out awesome and it's really nice of you to do that for each of them and to personalize them like that! Just wondering what is on the inside...is it premade bookmark cardstock?

Those are great! Your students are so lucky to have a teacher like you!
Sorry to hear you haven't been feeling well. Hope you are now on the road to recovery and will be feeling totally well for Christmas.
