How Nana Makes
A Study Bible Index

Most people want to serve God in an advisory capacity.

• Supplies: 
• Felt tipped markers in several favorite colors
• Metallic Gold or Silver Calligraphy Pen
• Ruler & Pencil
  
  
• Determine what divisions will be the most convenient; i.e. Books of Moses, Major Prophets, Minor Prophets, Psalms, Proverbs, Gospels, Epistles, etc.  Use whatever method compliments your study habits.  Then, carefully fold back the covers of your Bible, and -
• Holding all the page tightly together - mark lightly across them with a pencil, about every 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch. (15 to 20 mm)
• Separate the first section you want to index from the rest of the pages and, holding them tightly together, carefully color the edge of the section from the top down to the first pencil mark.
• Separate the next section, hold and color between the first and second pencil marks.  Continue with each section you have decided to separate, moving down the pages as you work.  When you reach the bottom of the pages, begin at the top again.
• When all of the sections have a colored "tab" showing their location - use a gold or silver metallic pen or marker to fill in the blank areas, covering any remaining pencil marks or areas where the color may have bled across the lines.  Sometimes leaving these blank areas white is very effective, too.  It's all up to you.

There you have it!  Beautiful gilt edged pages, a quick reference index to aid in your studies, no nasty little plastic tabs to break off, and a Study Bible that can accompany you anywhere. Almost as good as the gilt edged, cut indexing found in very, very expensive volumes, Right?
