Hello everyone
Thank God it's another beautiful day, i bring you all greetings from this part of the world and i know you are all doing great, i appreciate your all my lovely friends, lovers of creativity, members of this great community and hive for you love, comment, support, tome and encouragement to my blog, i say a big thank you. Today i will be sharing with you all the making of a simple and useful little item i made for my friend as a small gift for her book.
This might look small as a gift but im glad it is well appreciated by my friend, few days ago, i went to see a friend of mine briefly and when i got there, i met her read one of her favorite books and immediately i got to her, she decided to stop reading to give me her attention so we come have time to discuss, surprisingly, when she was about to indicate where she stopped, she folded the page in which i don't really like and I asked why she did that instead of using a bookmark to serve it purpose but she told me she doesn't have any, then i promised to make one for her when i get back home and we started our discussion as she kept the book aside.
This is the simple step by step process of making this simple bookmark
From my fabric scraps, i measured and cut out 2 pieces of 10 x 3"
I cut out an interfacing and ironed it on one of the pieces and the other to serve as lining
I cut out another small piece of 3 x 2" it was folded and sewn together round
I placed the two pieces together right side to right side with the small piece in between both pieces at the top and it was sewn together leaving an opening where it can be turned inside out
It was turned inside out through the small opening and after which it was top stitched round
I took some little beads with my gum and glue those beads on the small piece just to embellished it to make it look nice
This is the final and beautiful outcome, i hope you like how simple and useful this is. This is how it looks when i put it in one of my books.
I'm sure my friend will like this little and useful gift i made for her.
