How to Make Heart-Shaped Fabric Bookmarks

Follow these simple steps to make your own heart-shaped fabric bookmarks:

Choose your fabric. You can use scraps you have on hand or purchase fabric specifically for this project.
Cut your fabric into a rectangle. The size will depend on how big you want your bookmark to be. A good starting point is to make it about 2 inches wide and 8 inches long.
Fold the fabric in half, right sides facing each other.
Draw a half-heart shape onto the fabric, starting from the folded edge. Cut along the line you drew.
Unfold the fabric and you should have a heart shape.
Pin the edges of the heart together, making sure to leave a small opening at the bottom.
Sew the edges together, leaving the opening at the bottom for turning right side out.
Turn the fabric right side out and use a pencil or chopstick to push out the curves of the heart.
Press the bookmark with an iron, making sure the edges are straight.
Insert a piece of ribbon or string through the small opening and tie a knot at the end to secure it in place.

And voila! You now have a lovely, handmade heart-shaped bookmark to use while you dive into your next novel.

Tips & Tricks

Here are a few tips to make your bookmarks even more special:

Use a fabric marker to write a favorite quote or personal message on the bookmark before you sew it together.
Try using different fabrics for each bookmark so you have a variety to choose from.
Get creative with your heart shape! Try a scalloped edge or a pointed bottom.
Make several bookmarks to give as gifts to friends and family who love to read.

With these easy steps and fun tips, you'll have a collection of one-of-a-kind bookmarks in no time. Happy reading!
