Up-cycle an inner tube into a bookmark

Make a sleek book mark from an old inner tube. Easy to make using only a few simple tools.

Here's what you'll need :

• 1 x Old inner-tube.
• Brass eyelets
• Eyelet tool
• Leather punch
• Scissors

Step 1 Wash and cut your inner tube to size

Firstly and most importantly is to wash the inner tube really well, unless you want dirty smears all over your books.

Once it's clean and dry, cut it to whatever length you would like for your bookmark. I made this one about 150mm long.
