Personified Page Holders

These Polymer Face Bookmarks Add Character and Spunk to Your Book

— December 5, 2012 — Art & Design
Etsy seller Shirali Patel Woolfrey, owner of the SmallIdea shop where she sells all different polymer designs, has outdone herself with the Polymer Face Bookmarks collection.

What started out as simple page holders are now quirky characters who all embody their own extravagant personalities demonstrated by their accessories. There is a chef with blonde curly hair poking out the bottom of her tall chef hat, wearing two sharp-looking knives in her hat as well as one in her mouth. There is a kindly seamstress who's hair is full of scissors, buttons, measuring tape, bobby pins and her mouth holds a needle with thread.

All the characters of the Polymer Face Bookmarks collection add personality to your bookmark.
