Grab your favorite book and your bead loom, because this project is pure cozy craft energy!

In this tutorial, Lauren Quigley walks you through how to create a slim, lettered beaded bookmark using Miyuki Delica size 11 beads, John Bead Good Thread, and a simple loom setup. You will learn how to prep your loom, follow a clean letter pattern, manage thread changes, and finish the ends with fabric and suede cording for a polished look that actually belongs inside a novel.

This project is perfect for book lovers, gift makers, and anyone who wants a satisfying loom session you can complete while listening to music or watching a show. The finished piece is lightweight, flexible, and beautifully detailed without being bulky.

Find all the supplies at your local Michaels Store or online at Michaels.com. Most of the supply links have drop down menus, so you can see more than one color by clicking on the link. We also have added some extra options, but you do not need to purchase everything.
