Embroidered Felt Bookmark

SUPPLIES & TOOLS:

• Felt
• Embroidery Floss
• Embroidery Needle
• Scissors
• Paper
• Pen

DIRECTIONS:

1. Cut two 3"x 3" squares from the felt.
2. Cut one square in half on the diagonal to make a triangle.
3. Trace the triangle onto the paper.
4. Inside the triangle, draw the design to be transferred onto the felt.
5. In this case, it was a monogram initial & several small flowers.
6. Draw the design onto the felt.
7. Split the embroidery floss & use three strands to embroider this design.
8. Thread the needle.
9. The following stitches were used here: stem, French knot, lazy daisy, straight & satin.
10. Any stitches can be used to achieve the design.
11. Embroider the design.
12. Use one color for a monochromatic look or alternate colors if using a palette with several shades.
13. When the triangle is done, place it on top of the square, aligning it with one of the corners.
14. Using a blanket stitch, stitch through both felt layers on the edges that align.
15. This will leave the diagonal edge of the triangle open to be slid over the corner of a page.
