Ok, so basically this is the only picture I can share... cute bookmark.
I designed it in Google Spreadsheet and stitched it up using cross stitching!
It went together super fast. I then just used a decorative zig-zag stitch around three sides, slided in a piece of thick paper and then I stitched the top close. In this way if it bends, we can just change up the cardboard inside and the bookmark will be like new!! :)
The other fun thing is that on the two characters I used 2 strands of floss and 1 strand of glow-in-the-dark thread... when you turn off the light, Snoopy and Woodstock light up! I think they needed their own light because they want to read when they are closed in the book ;)

ReplyDeleteI hear ya - all the QAL's take up a ton of personal sewing time! But they can be rewarding
