Fabric Bookmarks

                                             BookMarks

  I came across this blog (www.littlebirdiesecrets.blogspot.com) on how to make Fabric Bookmarks, and wanted to give it a try. So here we go.                                                                            

 I had some scrap fabric left over and wanted to use them in a later project. This is the perfect one to use them in. My colors are Purple, Pink, Yellow, and Blue. These will be the flowers.

 These are my book mark fabrics. I've always thought that black and white goes well with any color.

 Here are some other things that you will need
1- Fabric for flowers
2- Fabric for bookmarks
3- Interfacing (I used light, but will use a heavier one next time)
4- Embellishments(buttons, brads, jewels, etc.)
5- Fabric glue
6- Scissors
7- Dowel to push those corners out
8- My (Wonder tool) it has a hook on the end to turn things inside out.

Cut fabric to 8"x4".

                          Cut interfacing just a little smaller in height and width than the fabric.

Iron interfacing to the wrong side of the fabric.

Fold in half long ways, with right sides facing each other. Sew form one end and down the side, leaving an opening to turn inside out.

Use your "Wonder Tool" to pull it right side out.

This is what you should end up with.

Now tuck in the open end and sew shut going all the way around (this is called top stitching)

Now cut your flower strips, about 1 1/2 to 2" wide and 0ver 20" long. (the longer your strip, the bigger the flower)

                             Tie a knot in the end of your strip and turn and glue as you go.

 I use a circle of hot glue, and then in the center I put another circle of fabric glue (for safe keeping).
Then stick flower to your bookmark and hold for a few seconds so it all stays.

Ta Da! you are done. Enjoy!!

Blessings you you.
