This finishing technique adds a neat felt backing to a stitched bookmark to help protect the stitches and create a clean finished edge.
Cut a piece of felt to approximately 3" x 9" so it is ready to back your stitched bookmark.
Lightly apply glue around the outer stitched edge on the back of the bookmark and rub it in. Let it dry.
Carefully cut out the stitched bookmark just outside the backstitching.
Lightly apply glue to the wrong side of the bookmark, place the felt on top, then lay it flat under a heavy book until dry.
Once dry, trim the felt so it extends about 1/8" beyond the stitched edge for a clean finish.
