Don't throw those scraps away! Keep them and make this!
I hate wastage, so I don't like to throw away any of my scraps. I thought I'd use all the odds and ends I had lying around to make some bookmarks. You can make these out of paper or fabric scraps. The green one is fabric and the pink one is paper. You can choose to add the central stamped 'I love books' panel or leave it plain.
Edit (Jun 2019) - I had some paper scraps left over from another project, so I thought I would make another one of these bookmarks. I had forgotten how fun these are to make! I think this one ('Shh...I'm reading!') came out well. I gave this to a friend. Every one of these I'm made I have given away, so it might be time to make one for myself!

Step 1Lay your scraps out on a piece of card or thick paper (the white piece you can see in the background), in the order you want. Glue them down. Don't worry if your backing card is bigger than your scraps, you can trim it later.
-
Step 2Stamp a piece of paper and place it in the middle of your laid out scraps.
-
Step 3Use your sewing machine to stitch the central panel down. I used a decorative feather style stitch.
-
Step 4Flip your bookmark over and lay out more scraps on the other side and glue them down. Sew round the edge in a rounded rectangle shape, through all three layers. Trim the leftovers to make a nice clean edge.
-
Step 5Punch a hole in the end of bookmark.
-
Step 6Make a tassel using the embroidery thread and yarn needle and loop through hole in the bookmark. Now place in your fave book and enjoy!
