A lot of times, I prefer to craft something than buy it. One, it's cheaper and two, I love to craft.
I decided to make my uncle a couple of bookmarks for Christmas. I saw an idea similar to what I created on social media and decided to just purchase some faux leather and clasps on Etsy and create from there.

I purchased this burgundy faux leather and this distressed caramel faux leather from TrendyLuxe on Etsy and was so impressed with the quality of fabrics. When I need future fabrics, I'm definitely purchasing from this shop. I also nabbed these snap fasteners in silver from WeiFashionDesign on Etsy.
I created a template for the bookmark shape and the flap on the top on paper and cut with an X-Acto Knife and scissors.
If you want to buy this instead of crafting - ophisleather offers some bookmarks with a personalization name option.
Happy crafting!
