Corner Fabric Bookmark
Do you love reading or your friend does? Then this is the perfect tutorial for you. This is also your big chance to use up all the scraps fabrics that have been lying around. See below some of the photos of corner bookmarks that I made which are also available in my shop.
The material I have used to sew the corner bookmarks is polyester canvas. But you can use cotton as well.
I have fused all my fabric with very lightweight interfacing fabric. To make a corner bookmark you will need:
- 4″ x 4″ or (10cm x 10cm)
- lightweight fusible interfacing (3)
- 4″ x 4″ or (10cm x 10cm) fabric (3)
If you sewing the corner bookmarks for gifting purpose then you can add a name tag to give it a more personalized look.
