An early
Happy Mothers Day to all of you dear Moms out there.
As a Mom I love books and I love bookmarks so..
I thought thses bookmarks were a fitting gift for Mothers Day they only take about 15 minutes to make. Add it with a favorite fiction or Biography and tada a beautiful personalized gift. :)
I wish I could make for each of you however I hope the idea is helpful and inspires you. :)
This is part of my Sewing Simple series. Even if you don't have a machine they can be hand done quickly also.
To make the Rosettes click here for a simple and easy tutorial.
This tutorial used fabric glue, I used my glue gun. You could also sew them together as well.
I used ribbon and fabric for the Rosetts. Thick ribbon or thin ribbon works greats depending on the size you want. |
Here are the 6 I finished and gave as gifts to some dear ladies.
Personally the yellow one with the shabby fabric ribbon is my favorite.
It was also the simpliest.
I think I will be taking another go at ribbon bookmarks and some quilted ones at another date.
I don't know what it is with me and bookmarks. :)
Here is the link of our Patchwork Bookmarks ~kids can do.
Tip: Even if you don't have lots of fun fabric just find a nice plain color and put a rosette made from a ribbon , you could also sew around the edge with a corresponding color of thread and
tada pure sweetness.
I found the Rosette bookmark idea here, which gives a great tut on how to make them for us simple sewing ladies.
much care and love to all

These bookmarks are lovely! I love to read so I always need something to mark my place. These would be so much prettier than the ragged scrap of paper with a smiley sticker that I'm using now. ;) I am your newest follower. Come over to Greetings From the Asylum and follow me too!
ReplyDeleteI have been meaning to make some of these! Thanks for linking up to Mad Skills Monday!
ReplyDeleteI featured your bookmarks today over at SewHappyGeek!
