This made me think about how I have always put lace into my bookmark sleeves - I grasp the sleeve by the sides, with one hand and 'pop' it open - ie squeeze it so that it opens up. I then take the lace and put the end into the opening. Then I push it up the opening with a plastic chopstick. I used to use a pair of tweezers to graps the lace but on fine lace I found that this meant that I could rip or pull it. Really cheap, plastic chopsticks have a blunt end which stops this from happening.
