• 3 Pieces of 6 inch Ribbon

Step 1: Cut out fabric, ribbon, and cardboard. 

Step 2: Pin fabric with right sides together, and sew the two long edges and one short edge, so the top edge of the bookmark remains open. Turn right side out. 

Step 3: Press the seams. 

Step 4: Place cardboard inside of bookmark. 

Step 5: Fold fabric at the top of the bookmark, place ribbon edges near the end of the fabric, and pin everything. This should allow for there to be no raw edges seen.

Step 7: Enjoy your bookmark!
