I made these for an up coming craft show. What do you think? I am going to attached a little angel poem as well, and I think I will also make the paper bigger too, to give it a better display.

I think these are really cute! I have seen and made the necklaces with the same clips as these.
The only advice I have for you is that on the bottom of the ribbon, it might be nice to trim your ribbon to an upside down V. Like ^ shape. You know...trim from low at edge to high middle of ribbon...make sense?
try a snip of ribbon and hold it up to a clip...I think it would look cute that way...
Also...I honestly thing the paper attached takes away from the bookmark...Maybe you could figure out a way to attach it to a length of cardstock the same size of bookmark...or even make a paper bookmark to put your poem on and attach it to that!

These might even be cute in a "matchbook" package...put a small ziplock bag in a matchbook, and put the angel part in the front, and then wind the ribbon behind it...and keep one out for a display...and you could decorate the front of the matchbook, and maybe put the copy of your poem inside with the bookmark...
