Just a bookmark

Nothing whatever to do with Christmas or anything like that.  

I've got two little girls (10 and 7) living opposite me.  They are truly delightful little ones and I love when I get to do crafts with them and their their grandma too.   

Well they've discovered that they've both got dyslexia and struggle with reading and writing so just for a bit of fun I thought I'd make them a bookmark each.  To see that silly face poking out of the top of a book might just make them smile and encourage them to read,  Fingers crossed.

  3. If you follow the link to the pattern you’ll find how to add the buttons. Basically it’s a normal join to a bead but with a button ‘in the way’!!!! http://www.janeeborall.freeservers.com/funnyface2.pdf

  5. That’s a great idea. You’ve just given me inspiration for a gift for someone who recently discovered the joy of reading.

  6. Oh, how sweet Jane! I hope your silly faced bookmarks encourage them to read. If they can learn strategies to help with their dyslexia, it will help them as they continue their educations!
