Instructions for Felt Shamrock Bookmark:

Step 1:

Prepare the template patterns and select different shades of green felt. Trace the shamrock layers on different shades of green felt; you can select a different felt color for the bookmark’s base. Carefully trace and cut out the patterns.

Step 2:

Take the two small layers and place the smallest shamrock layer cutout on the medium layer cutout.

Step 3:

Hold both layers firmly and place them on the big layer, in the middle. Prepare the needle with a thread of a matching color.

Step 4:

Stitch the small layer and make sure to join all three layers together.

Step 5:

Now, place the joined layers on a bookmark base.

Step 6:

Stitch along the side of the big shamrock layer to join it with the bookmark base.

Step 7:

You can skip the parts of the felt shamrock that cross the bookmark base.

Step 8:

Make sure to stitch all around to join it with the base. Take the other base cutout.

Step 9:

Place the plain base cutout below the stitched one and prepare a needle with thread matched with the base felt.

Step 10:

Stitch along the straight sides of the bookmark bases, leaving the round edges open. Tie a knot or two and cut off the extra thread when finished.
