Tutorial: Felt pencil case bookmark

Onel from Onelmon shows how you can make this pencil case bookmark. It’s an elastic loop with a pencil pouch attached. The elastic wraps around the book to mark your page, with the pencil pouch conveniently placed on the front to hold a pencil or pen. Craft felt makes this a quick project because there’s no need to finish the edges. She shows it as a quick hand sewing project, but you could also do all the stitching on your sewing machine if you felt like it. Even with hand sewing, she says it’s just 15 minutes to make. Go to Onelmon for the tutorial.
