Cross stitch bookmarks make thoughtful, creative gifts for book lovers and are easy to make. In this tutorial, I'll show you how to add a ribbon and beads if you like. Because sparkly stuff makes everything better!
Two things I really like about making a cross stitch bookmark this way are:
1. All the edges of the fabric are tucked in without using glue
2. The bookmark isn't all floppy without using fabric starch
