This is a beautiful idea that I am sharing today. It is an embroidered bookmark. This idea can be used on greeting cards and notebook covers also. This can also be done on cloth, just leave out steps 2 & 3. It will especially look good on brown cotton. With cloth you can make or decorate kitchen towels. cloth bookmarks, and even your cloths or bed sheet!
Just have fun and be creative.
You need:
~ Card stock paper (cut into the shape you want the bookmark to be)
~ Embroidery thread (waxed)
~ Needle
~ Thumbtack
~ Foam (to punch on)
~ Scissors
~ Stencil and pencil
This is how it's done:
Punch out holes on the pattern that are at least 1/2 cm apart, these are the holes you will be embroidering through so be careful not to make any rips.
Erase pattern
Embroider through the holes carefully. Try to be neat. When finish tie a small neat knot to end off.
FINISH!
Tips: Other objects such as paper butterflies and sequins can be embroidered on.
HAPPY CRAFTING !!!
