Felt Corner Bookmark

This is about the same tutorial for the corner bookmark but I wanted to focus of the felt part of it for those who are using it. It uses different tools so listing them all in one can be a bit confusing to a beginner. I used my maker for this project because I am in love the with rotary blade it comes with. It gives clean cuts and makes working with felt a breeze for those who cant cut it by hand. 

Supplies needed

-Cricut
-felt
-Hot glue gun or fabric glue for a no sew project
-Cut file
-Sewing machine 
-Pink Fabric Mat
-Brayer (optional)

CRICUT INSTRUCTIONS
1. Open the link to my template for the corner bookmark. The project is set to a random color I picked but you can change it for visual purposes.

2. Delete the extras you wont need like the words and the template you wont be using. You will only need the template with the single flap for this project.


3. Hit the "Make it" button to make to the next page.


4. Once you review that your project looks good, click "Continue" and insert rotary blade. Lay you material on the mat and use a brayer if you have one to make sure its smooth.


5. Select your material, I used wool felt, upload your mat and hit the blinking "C" and let it cut :)


6. Once your material cuts, unload the mat, peel it off the mat gently and set mat aside.


7. Fold down the flap to make a square, glue the open side down or sew along the edge for a more decretive look. Decorate with your favorite book quotes or monogram, make it your own or as a gift! Here is my list of free SVGs for some adorable images to use for your bookmarks!
