I found great photos of how to make your own stitch markers

Im going to have to try to make some this way.  I like the look of them.  I usually make mine with the lever back earing findings.  I can use them as earings or stitch markers.  The neat thing about the lever back findings is that they are removable if you knit them in.

Oh, making your own stitch markers for knitting? What a fun little project—and way cheaper than buying those fancy store-bought ones! You can grab some leftover beads and a bit of thin wire or sturdy thread. Just thread a bead onto the wire, twist it closed to make a little loop, and voilà—you’ve got a perfectly charming stitch marker ready to keep your place. If you’re feeling extra crafty, you can use small safety pins or even little loops of scrap yarn tied with a knot. The best part? You can customize them with your favorite colors or charms, so they’re as unique as your knitting projects. Plus, it’s a great excuse to play with your jewelry-making supplies!

Beautiful! I always have too many projects going on and it's a hassle having to constantly be on the hunt for pretty stitch markers for my never-ending WIPs. I'll have to get some craft wire and try these out! I think I've got some lovely beads I'd like to use

this obviously doesnt look as great but depending on your needle size you can just use soda tabs!  ive done that a lot of times when i was knitting on planes and couldnt grab my good stitch markers

Thanks again – I just wanna add that I basically bent a paper clip and was able to make a really strangely shape one haha

Looks like fun. There's no such thing as too many stitch markers, lol. Thank you for sharing. :)

Thanks for sharing! I use clip keychain blanks but they’re a little heavy.
