Stem: Ch225, finish off leaving a 5”inch tail.

Note: If you feel the bookmark is too long, just have a hardback or paperback book handy and as you chain check if it’s at a length you like.

Tassel: Cut 4-10”inch strands of thread in stem color and then cut 4 strands in the flower color. Insert hook into last chain made, fold pieces of thread in half over hook, pull strands and hook through chain to form a loop, take hook out of loop and pull loose ends through loop and pull taut. Make a knot to secure tassel (optional). Trim tassel to make sure it’s even or to desired length.

For use: The Stem Part goes inside the book. The Flower part lies on the cover of the book towards the top. Pull tassel through loop help keep bookmark in place.

Enjoy!!!!
