Project Heart Bookmark
Skill Level: Beginner

Skill Level: Beginner
Create a simple and quick bookmark from a piece of felt and a bit of decorative thread. A perfect gift to make in bulk, these bookmarks are a quick sew and an easy project for kids to make for their friends or teachers. Create your own shape or use the heart template.
Cut 2 heart shapes from felt. Be sure to use the corner of your felt pieces as edges must be at a 90 degree angle.
Place heart pieces together with wrong sides together. Pin/clip and sew along the straight edges using a decorative stitch.
You can decide what seam allowance to using depending on the stitch you choose - a 1/4" is ideal.
Pivot at the peak when sewing the edges and backstitch at each end.
Step 3: (Optional): Use pinking shears to trim all around the heart for an additional decorative element.
Extras: Feel free to use different shapes so long as one corner has a 90 degree angle.
