Isn't this the cutest thing? Probably the easiest as well! All you do is cut out two felt hearts, sew them together and you have a bookmark. They make great gifts.

Here are my felt heart bookmarks. I thought it would be fun to add some embroidery, so I added a lazy daisy and a circle of running stitch to each one.
Update: You can now download a free pattern for these bookmarks by clicking on the image below! Also, read more details in this post.

Hi! Visiting from tt&j. I love these! They are so pretty and seem simple enough that even I can make them.. haha! Thanks for the great gift idea :)
ReplyDeleteI would love for you to share this at my friday link party if you get a chance! :)
This is so adorable! This one I really think I'm gonna do! Just as soon as I get some felt.
ReplyDeletethese will be cute to give w/Valentines for my girls' class!
ReplyDeleteIs there a template for these? They would have to be just the right size to fit, I would think.
ReplyDeleteStephanie, I made a printable pattern for the bookmarks and will try to post it this week. Thanks for visiting!
ReplyDeletecan you just do it with needle and thread or use a sewing machine? And did you use regular thread because it looks a little thicker.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
I sewed them by hand (thread & needle) and used 3 strands of embroidery floss.
ReplyDeleteAlison, were you able to post the printable pattern? Thanks!!!
ReplyDeleteYes! You can find it here:

I was looking for a simple gift to give my teachers as a thank you during National School Counselor Week. This will be perfect. Thank you!

ReplyDeleteTotally off topic, but the background on your blog looks exactly like the wallpaper I had in my room when I was a little girl. LOVE IT!

ReplyDeleteThanks so much !
This is a great beginner sewing project for my Girl Scout Troops, they can make two or more, keeping one and giving others as gifts. I like for my Scouts to make useful crafts, if we can recycle materials that is great too. Also thinking great to make and give away at Assist living home we voluneeter at for Valentines day since alot of the residents can't eat "sweets" but they like to read. Thank you for the idea.
ReplyDeleteLove this!!!Will definitely try it!
