Instructions

1. Customize your bookmarks with your own design and personalization. Search local gift shops and inscription stores for bookmarks that can be personalized. Customize your own plain bookmark by adding embellishments like jewelry findings, beads and stickers.

2. Order bookmarks in bulk to give away as favors or promotional items.

3. Buy bookmarks with convenient features. Some bookmarks have ends that are weighted to hold the book open without damaging it and suede lining to stop the bookmark from sliding.

4. Purchase bookmarks that assist low vision readers. Magnifying bookmarks contain lenses in several magnification levels.

5. Treat yourself to a classy, stylish bookmark. Bookmarks that hook over the spine of the book often feature a suspended charm in a variety of styles, including simulated jewels, flowers and butterflies. You can also find bookmarks that are hand-embroidered or feature inspirational verses.

6. Find novelty bookmarks for fun gifts, like scented bookmarks. They are available in a range of scents that last indefinitely.

7. Choose fun bookmarks for kids. Bookmarks with plush animal heads or googly eyes are sure to be a hit with young readers. For a fun kids' craft project, print out bookmarks and have the kids color them. Then laminate the bookmarks to protect them and make them sturdier.
