Fabrics are adorable. I'll bet the kids love them.

oh how cute!!!!

I remember them from last year! I was hoping you were making them again. I'd love one for myself, they are just super fantastic and a great remembrance of a teach that really cared for them. great job!

Very sweet and caring.

I have been thinking about trying to make a few bookmarks for my friends who love to read. Yours are great for the students.

You have such great ideas. These are just super.

Love these but can't figure out how you made them LOL

They are easy!! Start with a 9" piece of muslin--or any fabric you don't want. Lay a strip down the center, diagonally. Lay another on top of it--right sides together. Stitch along one side. Flip open and iron. Keep adding strips until the block is covered, Turn over. Trim. Cut into three 3" strips. Cut a back same size--place with top right sides together. Sew around--leave an opening to turn. Turn. Steam-a-seam shut. Add a grommet and tassels and beads. Ta-da! Done. :-) It's a bit more complicated when one is trying to make each bookmark specifically for a classroom of individual students to their likes. But, that's my problem. lol Three I made weren't on the diagonal because of the fabric--it would not have worked.

Great gift !

What a great little remembrance gift for the kids!

What a great way to encourage children to read. Lovely work.

Very cute idea.

Nice idea and love the fabrics.

What a great remembrance for graduation.

These are adorable! I know they will be treasured.

Very cute gifts. The fabrics are all great too. Very thoughtful

Oh goodness...now it makes me wish I still taught a grade with kids who can read. Those are so cool...Pre-k kids just wouldn't appreciate them. I'm going to save this though.. Thanks for the directions.

Lucky students! Their teacher cares.

These are really cute! Fun gifts for the students~

What a clever idea...Great bazzar items...

As with every year, these are super cute. I love that you do this for your students and I am hopeful you will instill a lifetime of love of reading into each and every one of them.

Love them-you did a great and time consuming job. Wonderful for the students.

I think that happened! It is miraculous to watch first graders grow in their reading. So much fun to watch.

Yes! I make all floral ones and batiks ones for craft shows.

Great idea and thanks for the directions.

What a nice thing to do for your students.

Super idea. Sure that the kids will love them. Very thoughtful of you. BrendaK

Personalized! Outstanding.

Special for all the kids.

Cute idea.

Great idea for a gift to put in cards.

You will have to do this for as long as you are a teacher at this school!

Otherwise, the kids that don't get them will feel left out.

Nice!

You know--I've never had a kid hear about it from a former student. It's always a surprise. Amazing. And I switched from 5th to 1st so it's all new again. :-) Only four years left to goooooo!!!
