If you have or find a book that has a beautiful spine but you don’t want the book itself you have the makings for a beautiful bookmark. Using an Exacto knife carefully cut the spine away from the cover. Punch a hole in the top of the spine about a quarter inch from the top. Protect the bookmark by applying several coats of CLEAR PROTECTANT on both sides. When dry, tie a tassel through the hole and you have a beautiful new bookmark.
