Now to give our ribbon bookmark some body, I'm going to slip a little piece of plastic in between the 2 ribbons. Now, I'm going to recycle this plastic box that I found in the garbage. Just see how big you need it. About there. You can always trim it up a little. This will give it a good amount of stiffening. Then you just slide that into our bookmark. It might need a little bit of coaxing. I'm going to have to trim it. It was a little bit fat, so we'll just take it out and trim it and then try again. If you round the edge of the bottom, it might help to get that into the ribbon. Okay. Once you get it down to the bottom, just pull it out a little bit and trim it off and push it back in. You have a nice bookmark to go with your book and your pen.
