Well, it's been a really long time since I posted, but that's because I've been busy building a beautiful baby girl, and I really haven't had a lot of energy for anything else. I finally feel like a regular person again, so I thought I'd try to get back to it. This bookmark I made for my Mom for Christmas last year, and just never got around to posting it. She is hard to find a gift for because she just doesn't want anything. She does enjoy reading, so I thought this would be a nice present. I got the inspiration from this blog, but kind of put my own spin on it.
Materials:
Paper Glue
Embellishments Scissors or Paper Trimmer
Ribbon
Flower
Take your background paper and cut a square. I did 3 1/2 inches.
Then fold the top corners to the middle. Cut a triangle to cover the folded edges and attach to the bookmark with the ribbon between the layers.
I cut the corners off of the bottom because I like the look of the square better, and added my embellishments. I love laser cutouts.
Attach the flower to the ribbon. I made my flower with a jeweled brad, so I just poked a hole through the ribbon and attached it with the brad.
Then I placed a coordinating paper circle on the back of the flower to cover the attachment.
And, finished! I will post how to make the fabric flowers soon for anyone interested.
