Book Mark using crocheted Flower motifs - 1



Materials needed

Rim Jim thread or any shine thread
Crochet hook of your choice


Thick card board pieces
Color pencils and sketches

To make the flower motif, use the below instructions or you use the flower motif of my previous post.

1. Using the shine thread of color 1, work 6 ch, slip st on the 1st ch to form a ring

2. work 12 dc in the ring

3. 1 dc, 1ch. 1 dc in the next stitch space. Repeat for the entire round

4. Change to a darker color thread, work ch 6, sc in the next 1 ch space. Repeat for the entire round. Fasten off.

Making the Book mark:
1. Cut the card board piece into required length and width
2. Write a good quote with sketch pens. Color the remaining space with color pencils of pastel shades.
3. Stick the crochet flower on top

Other ideas !
  • The bookmark can be decorated more with beads, stickers etc

  • Instead of crocheted flower, felt or plastic flowers can be made and used to decorate. These bookmarkers can be made by the children also.

  • Make the cardboard longer, punch a hole on top. Decorate more with cartoon stickers, stars etc. It can be used as a door/wall hanger with a good quote in the kids room.
