For this project, we suggest making fabric bookmarks. Not only are they durable, but they are also easy to make and you can choose from a variety of colors and patterns to match your personality.
How to Make Fabric Bookmarks
What you will need:
- Fabric (we recommend cotton)
- Scissors
- Thread (in a matching color to your fabric)
- Sewing machine or a needle to sew by hand
- Iron/Ironing board
Step 1: Choose Your Fabric
Choose a piece of cotton fabric that you like. We recommend using a contrasting pattern or color so your bookmark stands out when you are using it in your book.
Step 2: Cut Your Fabric to Size
Cut your fabric to the desired size of your bookmark. We suggest making them around 2 inches wide and 7 inches long, but you can adjust the size to your liking.
Step 3: Iron Your Fabric
Iron your fabric to smooth out any wrinkles or creases. This will make it easier to fold and sew your bookmark.
Step 4: Fold and Sew
Fold your fabric in half, right sides together. Using a sewing machine or needle and thread, sew around the edges of your bookmark, leaving a small hole at the top. Once you have sewn around the edges, carefully turn your bookmark right side out through the small hole you left.
Step 5: Finish Your Bookmark
Using your needle and thread, sew the small hole shut. You can also add a decorative element to your bookmark by adding a button, ribbon, or even a piece of lace. Get creative!
Tips & Tricks:
- Use pinking shears to make your edges have a zigzag finish, which will prevent fraying.
- Use leftover fabric scraps to create unique patterns and styles for your bookmarks.
- Make a whole set of bookmarks in different patterns and colors for yourself, or to give as gifts to your book-loving friends and family.
