MATERIALS:
- Fun foam or felt in bright bright colors
- Fun foam or felt in green
- Paper fastener (brad)
- 12″ grosgrain ribbon about 1″ wide (green works well)
- Fray Check or clear nail polish
- Scissors
- flower stencil #1 or flower stencil #2
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Print out the flower stencil #1 or flower stencil #2. Each stencil has 6 flowers and 6 leaves to cut out.
- Cut the flower pattern out of the bright colored fun foam or felt.
- Cut the leaf out of the green fun foam or felt.
- Lightly finish the loose ends of the ribbon with clear nail polish or fray check.
- Fold the flower in half and cut a very small snip (about 1/4 inch) in the center.
- Cut a similar slit near the edge of the leaf.
- Cut a small slit in the ribbon, about 1/2 inch down from one end.
- Matching the holes, assemble the bookmark: flower > leaf > ribbon.
- Insert the paper fastener through the holes, fastening behind the ribbon.
SUGGESTIONS:
- Great gifting idea for Mother’s Day.
- Easy birthday party craft for a Garden Party or Tea Party.
- Don’t have felt or fun foam? A substitution would be to print the flowers on colored construction paper then cover one side with clear packing tape to make the flower rip resistant.
