SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The custom made sliding pointer bookmark is constructed with 4 millimeter thick clear vinyl and 2 millimeter thick fancy ribbon. The vinyl and ribbon are precisely measured and cut. Two sections of vinyl are cut exactly cut 7 and 1/2 inches length and 1 inch width for the bookmark. One strip of fancy ribbon is cut exactly 7 and 1/4 inches length and 1/2 inch width for the bookmark. At the top end of the fancy ribbon a v-shape centered and cut exactly 1/4 inches.

After the vinyl and the fancy ribbon are cut to the exact size for the bookmark, the fancy ribbon is then centered between the two vinyl strips which are then sewn together exactly 1/8 inch around the entire border of the vinyl on a domestic sewing machine using 100% polyester thread with a set tension of 5, and 8 zig zag stitching.

To sections of vinyl are cut exactly 5 and 1/2 inches in length and 3/4 inch in width for the sliding pointer. An exact 45 degree angle is cut at both the left and right ends of the vinyl for the sliding pointer. One strip of fancy ribbon is cut exactly 5 inches in length an exactly 1/2 inch in width with exactly a 45 degree angle cut at the left and right ends of the fancy ribbon for the sliding pointer.

After the vinyl and fancy ribbon are cut to size for the sliding pointer, the ribbon is centered between the vinyl strips which are then sewn together exactly 1/8 inch around the entire border of the vinyl on a sewing domestic machine with 100% polyester thread with a set tension of 5, and 8 zig zag stitching.

The stitched sliding pointer is then folded equally in half creating a straight side on the left and exactly a 45 degree angled half arrow shape with a point on the right end. The sliding pointer is then sewn on a domestic sewing machine with 100% polyester thread 1/8 inch around the entire border of the vinyl with a set tension of 5, and 8 zig zag stitching. The exact measurements are 2 and 3/4 inches.

After the sliding pointer has been completely sewn, the open center of the sliding pointer slides over the top of the bookmark.
