1. A slender piece of paper. This paper can be anything form a receipt to a sticky note. The only defining characteristic is that it is typically something you used to hold your place because it was what you had on hand.
2. A decorative bookmark. These are the kind you would find at a store. They often have a tassel of some kind, while some come in a little plastic bookmark sleeve.
3. A ribbon. Now, some fancy hardcover books come with a ribbon connected to the spine. But don't think that is the only time you can use this kind of bookmark! Ribbons come in a variety of sizes and colors, so you could make a bunch of identical bookmarks if you wanted to.
4. Leather. Now leather or synthetic leather can make for a pretty good bookmark, though they can get a little thick at times.
5. Metal. A thin metal bookmark can be a lot of fun. It also has the advantage of being magnetic, which can make finding your bookmark easier at times.
6. Duct tape. You can make your own bookmark out of duct tape, which can be found in a surprising number of colors and patterns.
7. Hair. A small braid of hair can also be used as a bookmark. I think horse hair would be a good choice for this.
8. A feather. You would need to be mindful of the thickness of the shaft, but a feather could make for an interesting bookmark.
9. Plastic. There are many styles of plastic bookmark. The design and shape of plastic bookmarks can be highly amusing to see.
10. Tatting. A tatted bookmark makes a wonderful reading companion. And it also provides a sleek, classy appearance to any book it is found within.
