These were super easy to make! I know I always say that, but that’s because I like easy projects, so I usually only make easy projects. I’m lazy like that!
Anyway, I just printed these out on cardstock, and cut them out. Then I cut some long pieces of creamy grosgrain ribbon. I trimmed a “V” into the top of the ribbon to give it a more polished look. Then I hot glued on some creamy tassels. These were actually from some braided tassel trim that I had, if you look closely you can see the trim. Then I just glued the two sides of the postcards (front and back) to the ribbon. (The ribbon is sandwiched between the two pieces of printed cardstock.) That’s about it! I was really tempted to add some glitter, but I figured it would end up all over my books so … I restrained myself this time!

    The ladies are beautiful. The added bonus of cutting a v-shape in the ribbon is it helps deter fraying, though you probably already knew that.
