Easy DIY Macrame Bookmark Tutorial | Paperclip | Gift Idea

Want to make a macrame paper clip bookmark that’s quick, cute, and perfect for gift ideas? In this easy DIY tutorial, I’ll walk you through the whole process step by step, using just a paperclip, a bit of cord, and two simple knots, the berry knot and the double half hitch knot. This is a great project for beginners because it’s fast to make (you can whip up a bunch in no time!) and it’s small enough to use up leftover cord. With their boho chic vibe, these macrame bookmarks make keeping your place in a book look extra lovely. Make one for yourself or create a set for friends, teachers, or anyone who loves reading. (They make great stocking stuffers or Christmas gifts!) Whether you’re brand new to macrame or just want a quick, satisfying craft, this project is fun, beginner-friendly, and looks amazing finished. 👉 See the Written Pattern on My Blog: https://www.marchingnorth.com/diy-macrame-paperclip-bookmarks/ 👉 Get the Printable PDF Pattern: https://www.etsy.com/listing/4355078099/macrame-paperclip-bookmark-pattern-pdf SUPPLIES YOU'LL NEED: ▶︎ 2 mm single strand cotton string: https://www.ganxxet.com/collections/soft-cotton-cord-zero-waste-single-strand-2-mm/products/soft-cotton-cord-zero-waste-2-mm-1-single-strand-ivory?ref=QAByHx2LB7FUBe - (NOTE: you can also use 3 ply rope, as long as it's the same thickness.
