Inspired Creations: Handmade Bookmarks (1)

While I was trying to come up with good posts for my blog, one of the topics I considered was talking about bookmarks. I mean, we all have to use something as a bookmark since we all love to read books. I was usually just using whatever scrap of paper I could find nearby, even though I do own bookmarks. Why should I use random pieces of paper when I have real bookmarks?

Then I got to thinking, I bet there's a bunch of awesome handmade bookmarks available on Etsy (same site I used for my Twilight Jewelry guest post). I started to browse around (talk about losing track of time!) and found a lot of sweet bookmarks. I just thought I'd take a moment to share some of them with you.

To view where the bookmark is found, click the link listed in the caption under its picture.

Cats!


~When I was a kid, I would buy all kinds of cat bookmarks. I was cat obsessed.
So I had to find and share at least one cat themed bookmark.~

Hunger Games Month: The Hunger Games Inspired Handmade Goodies

source

I have decided to put together another Etsy based handmade theme post in honor of Hunger Games Month for my good friend Lan at The Write Obsession. The movie is coming THIS MONTH and I couldn't be more excited. I know I'm not the only one. And in our excitement, we love any and all things Hunger Games related. So, without further adieu, here are some of The Hunger Games inspired handmade goodies I uncovered for you to drool over. (Note that not all will be available when you read this post as many of these are one of a kind. I tried to include some alternate links with similar items. ^_^)

ART & DECOR



~Show your love as decoration for your wall, your car, your laptop,
or anything else this sticks to.~



~This was one of the quotes I remember rereading
a couple times when reading the book.~


~I love these Keep Calm posters
so I had to post one.~



~One of those inspired paintings that does
the book justice via the imagination.~

~*~*~

JEWELRY & HAIR



~I love hair things--you should see my collection--
and I believe this one would fit in nicely.~



~Who could ever, EVER, forget the song?
Much love for Rue.~



~I thought this was a unique twist on inspired.
It's so simple yet not really.~



~I love these earrings, they just explode
in an array of awesome, well, radiance.~



~What's an obsession without a charm bracelet?
It hits all the possibilities available in charm form.~



~Everyone wants one (you bet I did upon finishing the book!).
It somehow epitomizes the whole story.~



~Don't want a pin? There are plenty of rings
to choose from, including this one.~

 ~*~*~

CLOTHING & MORE



~There's just something about the simplicity
of this shirt that I LOVE.~



~I love hoodies, even though I already own too many,
but this one is very cool.~


~Show off your love of the boy with bread
with a cute top.~



~Sure, I haven't read Mockingjay yet,
but I've heard about this part and love it.~


~I am partial to messenger bags,
but this one seems appropriate to the series.~



~A cute way to show how much you
adore the series.~

~*~*~

OTHERWISE



~I'm just gonna say it...
SWOON.~


Brass Bookmark

~Don't want no measly paper bookmark?
Go for a long lasting one.~



~I thought these were simply cute.
I love little journals.~



~These would be great to send to your favorite
Hunger Games loving pals.~

~*~*~


Which one is your favorite of the bunch? I love the hair clip, earrings, and boy with bread shirt most. :)
