How To Make Felt Bookmarks – 4 Easy Steps

STEP 1:

Tracing the cloud pattern shape onto a square of freezer paper.

Download and print the cloud template from the supplies list above and transfer the design to freezer paper using one of the two techniques below.

Option 1 – Print the Template onto Freezer Paper

Print the PDF template directly onto the matte side of freezer paper. Cut around the cloud shape and iron it onto the felt.

Option 2 – Trace the Template onto Freezer Paper

Print the PDF template on regular paper and trace the cloud shapes onto the matte side of freezer paper using a fine-point marker. Cut out the shapes and iron them onto the felt.

Optional: An SVG version of the template is included for those who prefer to cut the felt using a cutting machine.

STEP 2:

Ironing the shiny side of the freezer paper pattern onto white felt. This allows the pattern to lightly adhere to the felt so it can be cut out with scissors then later removed easily.

Iron the shiny side of the freezer paper template onto the felt using medium, dry heat. You only need to press for a few seconds.

STEP 3:

Using an precision knife to make three slits at the bottom of a white felt cloud cut with scissors using the pattern provided by Craftidly.com available in the supplies list.

Cut out the pattern shapes using sharp fabric scissors or embroidery scissors. Use a precision knife to cut the three slits into the felt.

To finish, fold the satin ribbon in half and slide the loop through the slit in the cloud. Pull the loose ribbon ends through the loop to create a lark’s head knot, then pull it snug. If you like, add a small dab of hot glue to the back to secure the ribbon, and draw the face on with permanent or fabric markers.
