Felt Ribbon Bookmark

by Jill Tacy

A flower bookmark - my daughter's first sewing project

My daughter is four and a half and just made this pink flower bookmark. This was her first sewing project and we're both very proud of it! She needed some assistance but had a fabulous time sewing. We cut two flower shapes from felt, two felt circles and a 12 inch piece of ribbon.

We pinned the felt flower pieces to the ribbon with safety pins then stitched around the flower with embroidery thread, making sure to stitch through the ribbon. Then we stitched two circles to the other end of the ribbon. Viola' the book mark is ready, all we need is a good book to read.

Thanks for sharing this idea. It is a simple project that kids can really have fun creating. We are going to make some of our own this summer break.
