I didn’t know Offray had a website. I like their ribbon and that a lot of it is still made in the USA. Thanks for the coupon code.

These are so cute, I just love them!!! But am I the only one who is having trouble understanding the directions? A video tut on this would be awesome if you ever get the chance. I’ll try to make it later with the written directions and see if I can follow along and figure it out. Thank you for such a cute bookmark idea!

My dyslexic brain can’t follow it, either, Maria Wicks. I’d love a video, too, please!
