This is how we did a similar bookmark when we were kids. We simply folded a piece of construction paper in half lengthwise and cut the slashes at a 45 degree angle every 1/4 inch being careful to keep the slash end about 1/2 inches from the side. We then folded the paper flat and folded down every other V shape, slipping the point under the point below it. I repeated the same process only with fabric to make my blue bookmark.

It looks challenging.

Very nice. I can't figure out how you got three colors. Did you start with three pieces sewn together or add one at the end and start with two? Thanks! Maureen

Another question. How did you get the edges so straight? Did you use an exacto knife?
|
My instructions with the ruler used a fabric stabilizer, and yes there are three fabric, one on the base and then the 2 that make up the design. The two that make up the design are fused wrong sides together prior to the cutting.

Now I get it. Exacto knife? Thanks. Can't wait to try.

I'm going to make some of these..

I fused two pieces of fabric together for the ones that I cut. I folded the fused fabric in half and marked the lines with my frixion pen. I cut the slashes while it was folded with a pair of scissors. I unfolded the cut fused fabric and folded down the chevrons and pressed with my iron. I laid the folded/pressed piece on top of another piece of fabric and sewed the center line down the chevrons to fix then in place and sewed around the edge 1/4 in out from the chevron edges. I used my pinking shears to finish the edge. I would have done step by step pictures but it is harder to do with my ipad.
