Finishing a cross stitch bookmark

How to finish a cross stitch bookmark when not working with already prepared bookmark fabric:

Before you start stitching, be sure to cut your fabric with at least 9 extra squares on each side for finishing.


bookmark 1
blanket stitch


Stitch your bookmark pattern, then fold the sides to the back leaving 3-4 empty squares on either side of the stitching. Tack the edges down - you can use a blanket stitch like I did, or a simple running stitch, or any decorative stitch as long as it isn't too bulky.


bookmark 2
fringe


Flip the bookmark over and carefully trim the corners. Then pull out the horizontal threads to create a fringe. Be sure to leave at least three empty squares between the fringe and the stitching.

wash


bookmark 4
iron


Wash and Iron your bookmark. Remember to keep the bookmark face down so that you do not crush the stitches.


bookmark 5
felt


Carefully glue a piece of felt over the back of the bookmark to protect the back of your stitching.


Enjoy your new bookmark!!
