Bug Bookmarker Here is a quick and easy sewing project to make with some leftover material, a button and a hair elastic.  I happened to have some ladybug material left from some covered coathangers I made but you can use any material you have on hand. You need about a strip of material, 30 - 32 cm. long and 9 - 10 cm. wide.  This will make a bookmarker that will fit a paperback sized book or one slightly bigger. Fold the material in half, right sides together, and sew a seam around the edges.  Leave one end open so you can turn the material right sides out. Once the material is facing right way out, top stitch around all the edges, folding in the edge you left open. Fold one end of the strip over the hair elastic and sew in place. Sew a bug button on the other end. The colouring of this button did not come out right as the flash of the camera changed it.   Mark you place in the book by stretching the elastic to go over the button.  This bookmark won't slip or fall out of your book.  I added a cute little tag as I plan to make some more and give them as gifts. For a regular sized library book I used fabric that was about 45 cm. long. You could also use wide ribbon for this project. craftygardener.ca Please sign or view the guestbook.
