In this post, I will show you how to make an easy and beautiful felt bookmark. You can finish this project in a couple of hours (if you are a beginner) or faster if you’re a skillful crafter. First, you need to end the old thread. To do this, just take a tiny stitch right over the last buttonhole stitch, to anchor it.

try decorative elastic bands (I didn’t have one at the time, but these printed elastics look so much fun), The twist of the buttonhole stitch is right on the design line, and the stitches are about 1/8″ long.When you get to the knot, just clip it off close to the fabric surface and keep right on stitching! Changing threads

Feel free to refer to my previous article on embroidering your own handwriting, if you’re stitching text. There all kinds of stitch options that work well with lettering, and you can get really creative by mixing up your embroidery stitches on your lettering. Just remember that you want the finished bookmark to be readable, so don’t crowd things too much. Bookmarks make fantastic gifts for the readers in your life. If you have a birthday celebration looming on the horizon or a graduation gig right around the corner, you can whip up an embroidered bookmark in no time flat and head to the party prepared, with a perfect little gift.Bring the needle with the new thread up inside the last buttonhole stitch, and continue buttonholing, working the first stitch over that tiny anchor stitch. You’ll cover it right up and the join will be invisible. A light box or a sunny window will help, if you’re tracing the design. If you’re confident in your drawing or writing skills or you want a design that looks spontaneous, you can draw the design right onto the fabric if you want. In this case, I just wrote my words onto the fabric and drew a couple dots at each end. If you’re using a fusible interfacing other than Mistyfuse, it should be the lightest possible fusible interfacing you can find. Follow the manufacturers instructions to bond the two pieces of fabric together.
