Majestic Bible Tabs Lavender Ellie Claire 9781934770825 Books Reviews

• These beautiful tabs are perfect! I have bought several styles. This one (purple) I used for Old Testament, and blue (same brand and size) for New Testament...and vice versa for my other Bible. I put the Old Testament/New Testament/Life Verse/Maps..etc. on the TOP of the pages, staggering the ones in back. I line up the guide, then make a VERY light pencil mark where it should go...make sure to only grab one page...and GO SLOW! Someday they will make a Bible that has the tab area pre-marked and labeled, but that is wishful thinking. Using tabs saves so much time and frustration. **** HABAKKUK!!! WHERE ARE YYYOOOUUU????!!!**** Lol <>< In photos, Bible is NLT Illustrated Study Bible-just in case you wondered --Case is from Christian Art Gifts. Also wishful thinking... coordinating tabs and cases. (hint, hint...)
• A couple months ago, I bought myself a new Bible because I want to start regularly reading the Bible. During my search for a new Bible, I came across these Bible tabs and hemmed and hawed for a long time about buying them. I've seen a number of people use them but didn't know if I wanted to try them. Eventually I caved and bought the lavender color since purple is my favorite color.
  
  This package of tabs contains 72 tabs, which are foil-edged and have the books of the Bible on both sides. There are six sheets of tabs, with 64 tabs for the 66 books of the Protestant Bible (1 John, 2 John, and 3 John are listed as 1-3 John on one tab), as well as tabs for Notes, Special, Concord (King James Version), Index, Old Testament, New Testament, Maps, and Life Verse. There aren't any blank tabs available and these wouldn't work as well with a Catholic Bible. Each tab measures an inch long, is lavender in color with purple flowers in the background, has purple foil edges, and the names of the books are printed very legibly in black. The package of tabs comes with a Tab Placement Guide as well as instructions. These tabs are made in China.
  
  When I opened this package, the instructions seemed overwhelming the first time I read them. The tabs need to be attached carefully because the clear parts are essentially like stickers being permanently stuck to thin pages of a Bible. I ended up reading through the instructions a few times before I started. Once I got started, it was very easy and I'd say the entire process took me about an hour because I was being extra careful. You'll need to use the Tab Placement Guide for every book of the Bible and it's very handy.
  
  After placing all of the tabs in my Bible and doing a decent job, if I do say so myself, here are some tips I learned from the process
  
  - Read the instructions carefully before beginning. Don't rush!
  - When removing the tabs from the sheets, I found it easiest to peel the tabs from the outside versus starting from the inside. If the colored tab part starts to peel away, grab the whole tab so the purple part doesn't rip.
  - Carefully line up the top of the tab with the arrow on the Tab Placement Guide. If you aren't sure which number you are on, look at the name of the book you just completed and count down the tabs. After the clear plastic part is sticking to the page, fold the tab in half, make sure there is only one page sticking to the tab and carefully attach the other part of the tab to the back of the page.
  - The tabs will always be attached to the pages on the right side, regardless of if the beginning of the book starts on the left page. Some of my tabs are attached to the title page of the book and some are on the page with some of the verses.
  - The clear parts may cover some words in the Bible but you'll still be able to see through it without any problems.
  - If you make a mistake and a tab is uneven, you MAY be able to fix it. I was able to very carefully peel the tab off and try again. Because the pages of the Bible are very thin and delicate, I wouldn't count on being able to do this but you may be able to do it if needed.
  - Don't press down firmly on the tabs until they are in place how you'd like them, in case you need to adjust them (if possible).
  
  Once I got started with applying the tabs, the process was fairly easy to do. After I reached the end of the Old Testament, I just continued on with the next tab number when I attached the "Matthew" tab so that the tabs flowed nicely. When you find the book of the Bible you want to look in, don't pull on the tab because the pages may rip. Instead, I find the tab, lift it up slightly, slide my finger into the Bible and open it from there to keep my Bible in good shape.
  
  I love the look of these tabs and they help me find the books easily! I like that they come in a lot of different colors to suit everyone's favorite color and they are made nicely. They don't feel cheap and they look beautiful. I'm proud to have these in my Bible and am considering purchasing another set for my other Bible! I know a couple of the tabs don't look perfect but I'm okay with that. I have a couple tabs left over that I haven't used but I'm going to tuck them away in my Bible cover in case I decide to use them later. If you are looking for some tabs for your Bible, these are a good option and I recommend them!
• I feel bad leaving a poor review for a Bible study tool, however my experience was not pleasant. Many pages of my Bible are in rough condition because of my good intentions and these little labels.
  The great features they are well designed for placement, easy to install, easy to read & fairly easy to remove.
  The unfortunates the strength of the tab is too much for delicate pages. Although I used the tab according to the recommendations by placing my finger on the page-marker and not using the label itself to open to the Book of the Bible, they still ripped all around the edge of the adhesion tab. The first pages of each Book are either missing a quarter-sized piece of the edge or are folded and mared from the weight of the tab folding inward instead of staying out where it’s helpful.
  These may be just fine if your Bible’s pages are pretty thick & sturdy on their own or if you have a Bible cover that holds the Word nicely in place so the page edges are protected from getting touched. Unfortunately my Bible is not that way and I made the poor choice to utilize these pretty labels.
  Another unfortunate they made me a bit ‘Bible dumb’ rather than help me quickly find the Book I needed or help me memorize the order of the Books, as I hoped they would. In church last Sunday I searched & searched for the little tag labeled Ruth. Although I knew where Ruth was, my instincts went to finding the little tab. Unfortunately I missed the reading of the first two chapters because my Ruth tab was half-ripped and the other half was kinked & folded into my Bible making it impossible to see. So I kept on searching the tabs, over & over. 🙄 And would take the time to try and smooth out the OT tabs I came across as I was searching. I spent a lot of time trying to repair & save the ripped pages until today when I realized the best decision for here on out was to gently remove each tab and caution any other delicate-paged Bible owners of the possible damage from these well-intended Bible Study tools. I hope this helps at least one person....
