This makes a terrificindoor project for kids when the weather turns ghastly, just make sure an adultis nearby while the hot iron is in use.

• Mrs. K's Iron-on Braid in 6700, 6710*, or 6720
• household iron or Kreinik Mini Iron
• 3" x 4" Teflon press cloth

* This is a white-coloredthread, so if you pick this one, print the bookmark pattern on a colored paperlike bright orange.

Instructions:

1. Turn your iron onto the high heat setting and allow it to heat thoroughly.
2. Download the PDF and print a copy of our bookmark pattern.
3. Starting with the lowest "o" lay iron-on thread at a beginning point, and cover with the Teflon press cloth. Touch with the hot iron to tack the thread into place.
4. Work around the "o" in the same fashion, working one section at a time, and laying the thread over the light "o" print to cover the lines.

Finishing ideas:

Make it look like a ghost: With a hole-punch, punch out two eyes at the top. Use fancy-edge scissors to trim the bottom, making it look like the "dress" of a ghost.

Add a tassel: Punch a hole inthe top, attach and knot your extra thread as a tassel.
