Sometimes, if you settle down to read with a hot, caffeinated drink, you want a thematically appropriate bookmark. Enter these felt bookmarks I made recently!
Insipration came from an Instagram reel my friend sent to me, and I used an old project from my archive of craft magazines for the mug templates.
The blue cup has a teabag tag on the end of the ribbon….
….and the red cup has a coffee bean. I did embroider the crease (?) in the middle of the bean, but it’s not super obvious. Next time, I’d use black thread to embroider it.
I thought about putting cardboard in-between the two layers of background felt, but after attaching everything to the fronts, they felt stiff enough.
(I thought this book suited this photoshoot particularly well.)
These were made as a gift for my friend, who received them yesterday and drinks both tea and coffee. I love getting to use the projects from my old craft magazines, too – I feel justified in collecting so many because they turn out to be useful!!*
Anyways, see ya!
