A friend has this beautiful leather book weight that she uses when she has to power read though a book. In lieu of one, I used my grain filled heat pack to keep the pages open as I was ploughing my way through the Margaret Attwood book, "The Testaments", last week.
But here are some crafty alternatives if you have a spare afternoon.
Simple Book Weight
Martha Stewart has a simple pattern for a book weight to keep her cook books open.
Book Weight Carrot
I love this idea and I can see it being done in lovely patchwork fabrics in orange and green.

Book Bone
This is a pattern for a soft toy bone. But simply replacing some of the filling with weights, would make it into a lovely Book Bone to hold your pages open.
Once you start looking at soft toy patterns there are so many possibilities. Bendable snakes, Sea Horses or little starfish as weighted objects to keep your book pages open. If you are not in a crafty mood you can buy a soft toy and open it and fill it with weights.
