How to Make a Felt Emoji Bookmark
Supplies:
- Colored felt fabric
- Pencil
- A pair of scissors
- Needle
- Matching thread
- Printed template
Instructions:
Download and print out the emoji pattern. Cut out the pattern pieces.
Select yellow, black, pink, white and red colored felt fabrics for this craft. But you can select any colored felt fabrics of your choice. Trace the patterns on the felt. You’ll need two of the base pieces for each bookmark. Cut out the traced felt patterns using scissors.
Take 1 bases for each bookmark (each bookmark will require 2 base cutouts). Assemble the cutout items on the bases to make the emojis. Now, use a marker or fabric pen to draw eyes and mouthes on the emoji.
Let’s start with the laughing emoji. Use black thread to stitch along the traced eyes. You can simply back stitch for this.
You can use fabric glue or needle and thread to connect the expressions to the bases.
Place the plain base cutout under the stitched one and stitch along the straight sides of the bases. Use matching thread to stitch the sides of the felt bases. Keep the round end open so that we can use them as bookmarks.
Now, make the other felt emoji bookmarks too.
