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.
