Hello 30 days readers! It’s Allison from little lovelies, here to share an embroidery project with you! This project is so easy and involves so little embroidery that I feel like a cheater even calling it one, but since you have to pick up a needle and thread, we’ll just say it counts.

 

In time for Valentine’s day, I have come up with the perfect gift to give to all the book lovers in your life.Supplies:
-felt
-white embroidery thread
-paperclips
-hot glue gun
-scissors
-fabric marking pen

They are really easy and quick to make. Read on to see how I made these sweet little bookmarks.

Start by drawing your shape onto felt. To help keep the felt in place while cutting, use a straight pin to stabilize the two pieces.

Now that your felt hearts are cut out, it is time to stitch.

Stitch a running stitch along the perimeter of the heart. It is the simplest stitch – just up and down through the felt.

Once you stitch all the way around, you can secure your thread by running your needle along the very top of the felt, pulling though and cutting off the excess. You will be gluing the heart down with hot glue, so you don’t have to worry about this string coming out.

Now that the stitching is done, you can glue the bookmark together.

Put a small dot of glue on your plain heart and glue down the paperclip. Add more hot glue over the surface of the plain heart, and very lightly press your stitched heart down on top. If you smash the two hearts together, two things will happen: hot glue will ooze out of the sides, and you will be able to see the outline of the paperclip. Pressing lightly keeps the surface smooth and pretty.

You may have already noticed the sweet cards that these bookmarks are clipped to. Since Photoshop tends to send me into fits of hysteria, I asked Mique to design a card for these bookmarks so that they can be given as Valentines. She, of course, came up with something fabulous with very little help from me.


Download your Homemade Valentine bookmark cards for 30days subscribers and personal use only.  Thanks!

Enjoy stitching up these little hearts and spreading the love this Valentine’s Day!

    Awesome steam showers, we had a unit built about 5 years ago and so it may
    perhaps do with replacing, would never get a mundane old regular form
    of shower ever again

    You don’t want to irritate your skin any further. Basing on my own experience, I recommend this program genuinely. A sudden increase of acne is called an escape.

    Howdy just wanted to give you a quick heads up.
    The text in your post seem to be running off the screen in Firefox.
    I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with web browser compatibility but I thought I’d post to let you know.
    The style and design look great though! Hope you get the
    problem solved soon. Cheers

    However, there are also disadvantages to car leasing.
    Instead of a sleek sports car, you may have to
    give it up for a more practical family car especially if you
    can only maintain one vehicle. Short term car lease can be a great and practical way
    of getting your own vehicle.

    These are adorable! And so easy, that I’m thinking it would be a fun project for little helpers as well. I’m also thinking that if the done carefully, you could just thread the paperclip through the stitches in the point of the heart as well, and avoid having to use the hot glue gun (I inevitably end up burning myself whenever I use one- lol)

    This is so wonderful. This is truly how you nurture a love of reading. I’m trying to get my kids to read more and stay off of their gadgets. It’s stuff like this that keeps them motivated. The bonus is. .every time you go back to your book, you know someone loves you. this is coming from a certified teacher!:0)

      I need to get my kids off their gadgets as well- it gets overwhelming with all the “stuff” they have. I love that you said- “every time you go back to your book, you know someone loves you.” Yay for awesome teachers!!

      Hi Haley! I got the felt on papertreyink.com. I think these are the colors I used: Simply Chartreuse (green), Raspberry Fizz (pink), Ocean Tides (blue), Harvest Gold (yellow).

      Hope this helps!
