Leaving 5 inch tail, ch 75, place hook through shank of button and draw up loop, yo, draw through both loops on hook, working back along starting ch, skip 1 ch, sl st in each remaining ch, fasten off leaving 5 inch tail.

 

For tassel: Cut 16 strands of thread approximately 7-8 inches long, set one strand aside.Holding the 15 strands of thread together and using the two tails at end of bookmark, secure tightly in place at the center of the tassel with a double knot, let the tails hang down to blend with the tassel.

Using remaining strand of thread, wrap around the tassel approximately 1/4 inch below top of and tie securely with a double knot (these will blend into the tassel as well), trim tassel evenly at bottom.

You're welcome

 

It does work up insanely fast... you could have enough done for the whole class in no time at all!

And with all the cute novelty buttons, the kids will love them!

Wonderful. I know I can make a lot of these just watching TV. I have so much thread and yarn that I welcome all ideas for small, fast items.

 

Thanks.
