Shepherd Hook Bookmarks

There was a question from Tatknot in a comment to my last post. I had mentioned wanting to make some shepherd hook bookmarks and she wondered what they looked like.

Here's a picture. They are about 5" long and flat so they slip nicely into a book without any bulk added when the book is closed.


You've probably seen something similar but called by a different name. Here's what it looks like inside a book.














The motif is just a simple clover pattern with a charm. I found the hooks at Joanns and they only cost about $1.50 or so.

Thanks for asking about them. I'm sure others wondered what I was talking about too!

  3. Thanks so much for the picture. I've seen them before, but never in a book. I like the way they are made and the tatted motif is a perfect addition. Great idea!
