One of the things that I want in a book mark is to be stiff, real stiff. So I take mine to a copy store like Kinko's or Office Max and have them laminated in a "pocket" laminating plastic. These come in several different weights and are like two sheets of plastic connected at one end. I place my bookmarks in between the sheets and the attendant puts the sheets through a heating machine that seals the two plastic sheets together. I take it home and cut the bookmarks out and punch a hole in the top for a ribbon . I don't have to worry about the lace getting dirty and I don't have to worry about it ever loosing it's stiffness. I also have put messages on small colored paper in with the lace. I have no idea if this lace will last forever or if the plastic will destroy it some day, but it works for me now.
