This is whether pattern I use for making holders for books and tablets.

It is stuffed with kapok. I have also included a book mark for my reader friends by drawing around a coffee cup twice (side by side) about 2" apart, and connecting them on top and bottom with a straight line making an elongated oval. Stitch all but about two inches on a straight side around the outside, fill it about 1/4 full with plastic beads. Stitch opening closed, then fold in half leaving half the beads at either end, and run a line of stitching through the middle. You can now flop this book mark over the top of the spine of the open book, to hold it on the right page. It is my own pattern and I have no photos, but I can draw it out if anyone wants a pattern to use.

I made this from a free Craftsy pattern. I changed it up just a bit & filled the bottom (rolled area) with poly pellets. I don't use things that will attract bugs (like rice, beans, etc). I think if I ever made another one I would use something other than cardboard for the center (maybe some light but stiff plastic...like garage sale signs) that way if it happens to get wet or something spilled on it it wouldn't deteriorate. I never used the one I made but gave it to a friend of mine who said it would be perfect for her iPad.

I have made several of the ones osewme showed from Craftsy. They work well and are pretty easy to make. They also fold flat for storage. I used the corrugated sign board like they make political signs from. I collected them from the dumpster near polling places. A friend got some of the corrugated board from a sign printing shop. She got their mistakes.

I thank everyone for their input. the library does not want the triangular ones as the books may flop off the sides. I do have a question about the poly pellets though. some are listed as weighted and some not. does anyone know if they are listed as weighted that it makes the beanie pretty heavy?

If you want to hold a tablet, or heavy books, why not try the bamboo wooden book stand, which can hold the bible and tablet.

I have made several of the dog-bone shaped pillows and put one of appropriate size on my lap to prop my ipad. When I get sleepy, the pillow is right handy to prop on my shoulder, too!
Stuff those pretty tight so they hold their shape. I used polyfill and those can be put through the laundry or a person can make a case if you think that would work better for you.
