Secret Sister Flower Bookmark
Make a sweet bookmark for a Secret Sister at church - or for any friend and family member anywhere - as a thoughtful gift. The iron-on thread makes the rubber-stamped image 3-dimensional.
Materials:
- Kreinik Iron-on #16 Braid 6500 Hydrangea
- Teflon Press Cloth
- Mini iron or household iron
- Purple and green stamp pads
- "Spring Garden" stamp set from Stampin' Up (or similar)
- Extra pieces of metallic ribbon for tassel (we used 1/8" Ribbon in 092, 012, and 007)
- White cardstock cut to 5 1/2" x 2 1/2"
- Fancy-edged scissors
- Hole punch
Instructions:
- Turn your iron onto the highest heat setting and let it heat thoroughly.
- Stamp the flower image onto your white cardstock. Let dry.
- Trim the edges of your cardstock with the fancy edged scissors.
- Iron the purple braid onto the purple flowers: lay the thread at a starting point, cover with the Teflon Press Cloth, and press for several seconds until the thread adheres. We make swirl circles in the center of each flower.
- Punch a hole in the top of the white cardstock and run extra pieces of ribbon through as a tassel. If desired, write a passage from the Bible or other favorite saying on the back.
Kreinik threads available through needlework stores or www.kreinik.com.
