How to Make the Decorative Crochet Bookmark Cord
Now it is time to turn your crochet flower into a practical floral bookmark using two wooden pearls and a simple crochet chain.
- Cut approximately 3 metres of yarn.
- Fold the yarn in half to find the centre, then thread one wooden pearl onto the middle of the yarn.
- Pass both yarn ends through the centre of the flower, from front to back, positioning the pearl neatly in the centre of the flower's front side.
- You should now have two yarn ends extending from the back of the flower.
- Using one yarn end, make a chain to your desired bookmark length.
- Using the second yarn end, work 1 slip stitch into each chain along the length of the chain.
- Continue until you reach the end of the chain, then secure the yarn neatly.
- Thread the remaining wooden pearl onto the yarn ends and tie a secure knot to hold it in place.
This creates a beautiful decorative bookmark cord with one wooden pearl at the flower and another wooden pearl at the opposite end.
Helpful Tips for a Beautiful Crochet Flower Bookmark
- Keep your stitches consistent to achieve a neat flower.
- Use a yarn color that complements your favorite books and accessories.
- Adjust the chain length to suit your preferred bookmark size.
