Felt Monster Bookmark Sewing Projects for Kids

September 3, 2018

Though most of us are already back to school and may have all our School Supplies sorted.. you can never ever have too many DIY Creative Bookmarks Designs.. right???? As you know, bookmarks are a firm favourite in our house – we love to read, but we also love to craft… and you can you always make another bookmark! Bookmarks also make great teacher’s gifts or gifts to family (especially if you like to gift books too). My kids one summer, sold lots of corner bookmarks to raise funds to buy some gerbils! Now that sounds good to me. Today, we have an adorablely cute Felt Monster Bookmark from Trixi over at Coloured Buttons. Trixi LOVES to sew and has regular “sew a softie” challenges to get kids into sewing.. and I think this Felt Monster Bookmark makes a great sewing project for kids too. We love sewing with kids!! Here we go..

Learn how to make Johnnie’s sister over on Coloured Buttons!
