Firecracker Bookmark

Save your spot in your summer reading with these easy to make firecracker bookmarks! 

* As a design team member for Gwen Studios,
I am provided with product to work with each month.

Supplies used:

• Gwen Studios 3/8" & 5/8" Cupcake Patriotic Grosgrain Satin Ribbon 4ct

• Gwen Studios 3/8" Polka Dot  Grosgrain in  Red, Royal Blue and Turquoise

• Gwen Studios 5/8" Grosgrain Ribbon in Red, White, Royal Blue and Turquoise

 

  

• Felt or canvas
• Bookmark template
• Permanent marker
• Sewing machine
• Scissors

Begin by using a old bookmark for a pattern or create your own.
Trace your pattern onto some felt or canvas.
Cut out each bookmark leaving a ¼" to ½" space around the traced line.

Flip the bookmark over and begin sewing your ribbons in place.
I liked alternating between a straight stitch to a zig zag. 

When you are done, cut any loose threads and trim along the traced line with standard or pinking scissors. Then re-stitch along the line.

Fold in half the sliver ribbon from the Patriotic Cupcake pack and stitch in place as shown, finishing the bookmark with a straight stitch all the way around.
