Use narrow paper scraps to add a lightweight decorative marker to a notebook that has a suitable elastic or loop. Gather paper triangles, glue, a blunt wooden skewer, cord, and a notebook.
Set it up
Cut long narrow triangles from clean scrap paper and begin rolling the broad end loosely around the blunt skewer.
Put the idea to work
Roll toward the point, glue only the final tip, and slide the bead off after it has dried enough to hold its shape.
Finish and keep it useful
Thread several beads onto cord and tie the charm to the notebook loop where it will not press against the pages. Keep small beads away from young children and avoid soaking paper beads in water.
