Text Bookmarks

This picture is too dark but it is an indication of how the bookmarks look with letters showing through punched holes.

I made two bookmarks yesterday using a picture from a wallpaper magazine:

I cut the lettered wallpaper background into bookmark sized strips 

..and made random holes using my cropadile (both sizes, large and small).

 

At first, I used an old book page and laid the holey bookmark on the top, but despite the fact that this book has a small typeface and no spaces for paragraphs, the holes didn't line up with the letters neatly...

 ...so I had to rip up a page into little pieces and stick them over the holes individually. (This picture shows the back)

So those letters you see through the holes aren't from the page you see in the background.

After the letters were completed I covered the backs and laminated both bookmarks:

 ..and finished them off with embroidery thread:

The completed two text bookmarks:

Hope you are all fine and enjoying the Spring sunshine (I have added a picture of the blossom in our local area on yesterday's post)

Thanks for looking and for any comments,
