 These would be great craft for a Women’s Ministry retreat too!  Simply write a Bible Verse on the white insert and decorate around it.

Let’s Get Started:

Begin by cutting a small piece of Burlap Ribbon (without wire) to fit across the Blank White Bookmark Insert (we used Medium Size inserts & sleeves).  Attach the burlap ribbon to the paper insert with a Glue Dot in the center.  Press the burlap onto a Glue Dot.

Next, attach the Burlap Ribbon piece to the insert.  Press to secure.  We used only 1) Craft Glue Dot (centered on the burlap) to secure it to the insert.
