Those are really cool, thanks for the link!

So how do I get on that Christmas card list hipmama?

I'm glad you all liked it, I thought it was pretty sweet!

I didn't make the ones in the picture, mine still need a little more "WOW!" to be that pretty. That was just the link with the best instructions I could find

Nice bookmarks, love the corner idea. But, my fav will always be my SKT Bookmark!!!!

This is an origami corner bookmark, that I actually like better than the one I linked to earlier. It doesn't require any glue, and there's not so much waste. I just start with 3 or 4" squares and off I go! I made a ton of them to sell at a bake sale recently (yeah, I don't bake, sorry) and they were quick and easy and I got to recycle a ton of rescued National Geographics! (First we read them, then I use the full-page photos to make envelopes, and the smaller photos to make these, that way there's not much of the magazine left.)

I actually tuck that last flap in too, when I make mine, instead of leaving one side a square. I'm sure it's fine if you're using a more substantial paper, or a paper where both sides are pretty, but mine was neither. It becomes a triangle that way, but works the same

I love this little bookmark. Anybody else have any cool craft projects they do?

I should make more of these, I've lost them all!

I've been working on a yo-yo quilt lately. Each little yo-yo is quick and easy (and portable!) Unfortunately, they're goofy looking because each yo-yo is a little puckered circle, and my children have dubbed it "The A$$hole Quilt." I'm so proud.

You can see how they're made here. The puckering comes in around 3:40. It's a lot of fun, and it goes pretty quickly, compared to knitting...

I agree, so clever!
But alas I have no craftiness, I'm proud when I tie my shoes and they stay tied at least till lunch.

I've got a yo-yo quilt in progress. It's quite pretty, but takes a long time to get enough of them. Needless to say, I think I started this project around 1993 (not kidding.)
