DIY Felt Bookmarks

DIY Felt Bookmarks

What you need:

• different colors of Stiffened felt ( Not the flimsy felt, but the felt that comes pre-stiffened...I found it at a Hobby Lobby at 79 cents a sheet)
• Thread
• Sewing Machine
• Scissors

(pretty simple so far, right?)

Step One

trace circles with a small round object

 

Step Two

cut out circles 

Step Three

arrange circles how you want to sew them 

Step Four

Choose an interesting stitch

Step Five

start stitching at one end of the first circle 

Step six

Before you get to the end of the first circle slip the second circle underneath so that they overlap.

Step Seven

keep stitching over overlap 

Step Eight

Add third circle 

Step Nine

Add fourth circle and then stop at edge. Make sure you leave the thread long enough at the beginning and end so that you can tie a little knot at each end. 

Step Ten

Wala! You are done!
