Adding ribbons to your Bible

[Gary]

My Ruckman Reference Bible came with one black ribbon marker.

Does anyone know how to add more ribbons to a Bible so you can mark more than one place?

I am currently reading In the Old Testament as well as in the New Testament. I have trouble keeping track of my New Testament place, because I have no way to mark it. I prefer not to use a bookmark card.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I've seen ribbon kits, and I believe the BBBookstore sells them, too.

Yes, they do. Go to the website and put 'ribbon' in the search box. There are seven different ribbon 'sets' available:

Saint Gary, I once added (glued) a black ribbon to a Bible of mine that had none.

Open you Bible in the middle and look down its spine and you will see between the bonded spine of the pages and the leather cover that it opens up to sort of a tube. Glue the ribbon and stick it on the bonded spine of the pages.

Any questions, just call me.

Hi, just joined yesterday!
I use coloured ribbon with sticky labels on the end. I fold the label over an end of a ribbon, so the label sticks to itself and not the Bible. I then cut the label narrow enough and insert it into the spine and cut the ribbon to size - different colours for different Bible readings. I have used this method for many years. easy to remove if you want to move the ribbons to another Bible or if they have frayed.

(I'm from the UK - we spell color differently!)

My 2nd edition RRB came with TWO black ribbons, so I'm set!

Welcome to the forum Bro. Walker, God bless your time here.

Hi Bro. Walker! I'm from Canada, and there are only a handful of us here that spell "colour" correctly!
