Thank you! I was looking for a little thank you gift for a man who did some professional work for us. This is perfect. Just a little "we appreciate you".
I still haven't gone through the boxes of books. I hope to start in early 2024. But I will be making these corner bookmarks this weekend to go with Christmas presents. 😊
I made these bookmarks a few years ago for my daughter-in-law’s Pre-K class. She was looking for something green to give them for St. Patrick’s Day so used only green novelty fabric (dinosaurs, trees, frogs, etc). The kids loved them. I’d like to think it encouraged them to read more.📚
OMGOSH! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Love this bookmark tutorial! The rainbow showed well yesterday after the rain. Too bad today's heat index is 100°+ Liked, saved, and sharing
Hello! I hope you had a fun day. I just got to sit down with my hand quilting and watch your video. I always learn something new from you so thank you very much for that. I hope you have a lovely week ahead. Thank you for posting this video and sharing your time and talent.
Several people left great ideas in the comments for these little bookmarks. Schools, libraries, seniors centers. All great places to make bookmarks for. I like the idea of randomly placing them in library books for people to find.
Thanks for this tutorial on a great project! I am finally caught up! (At least until the next time I get behind. 😉🤣🤣🤣) I can use this as quick little projects during breaks in my next big non-craft project: going through our massive personal library of books to determine which ones to keep and which to donate. I can then donate the bookmarks and a basket along with the books. The bookmarks will also slightly reduce my rainbow 🌈 stash of scraps. 🙂 (I can't start on my quilt top UFOs until I get the stacks of boxes of books out of the crafting room! 🤣🤣🤣)
Woohoo!! You’re all caught up. I think there’s a video tomorrow night and then you’re safe until WiP It Wednesday. Books seem to multiply just like fabric scraps. Don’t turn off the light and close the door. That’s when they multiply 😉
Thank you for this tutorial! I’ve seen these before but didn’t know how to make them…..!!! That crumb quilts book you have there has a lovely rainbow quilt on the front cover!
Thanks Robin! I have small left over specialty fabrics people choose for their masks and this will be a great project to use that up and give it to the people who picked that fabric. Great gift and I have a family of readers. I might try one with a stiffer interfacing to see if I like it.
Hi Robin!🙋🏻♀ ❤Love these! ❤ I used to make loads of them when I first started sewing and had items in a local shop in the town I lived in. 👍🏻 They were one of my best sellers!👍🏻💜
Hi Robin! You've inspired me to make several and donate them to the Friends of my local library, or just leave them in the books that I am donating! Thanks Robin for this tutorial!!
Hi Carol. It would be so much fun to find them in a random book at the library. The kids would love them too. Maybe make a fabric bowl and put a bunch of corner bookmarks inside. Then It can side on the librarians desk.
@@rsislandcrafts My husband was a librarian at a small town library for about 10 years before he retired and a volunteer at that library for about 5 years before that and about 5 years after he retired. He wasn't a grumpy librarian but he sometimes had to deal with grumpy or abusive patrons. Fortunately that was a very rare occurrence.
They’ll work the same with or without interfacing. It comes down to personal preference. If we do use interfacing it’s a great project to use up those smaller leftover bits of interfacing from other projects.
Hi Robin another great video, I have made a lot of corner bookmarks with paper origami stile. I finally made a fabric postcard not as lovely as yours but it is a beginning, I also made an ATC which is cool.
Woohoo. The more fabric postcards you make the more comfortable you’ll become. You’ll find your style. I’ve always love ATCs. I’ve some amazing ones over the years.
Robin, those are so cute. I bet they would sell at craft fairs. Have you made any in other sizes? I can see a whole rainbow 🌈 of these spread out on my table at my next craft fair. Thanks.
I bet they’d be great at a craft fair. Shoppers like to buy something small and low priced when they stop at a booth. This is the first time I’ve ever made corner bookmarks. They’d be easy to change the size. This was the size I found online everywhere but I think I’d like them a bit smaller.
Looking for more Quick & Easy projects?

You’re welcome. I used these as little thank yous. They work well.
Rainbow Crumb Quilt COOL... Pretty neat idea for bookmarkers.
:O)

They are super quick and easy project. You could make them while waiting for dinner to cook 😉

That’s wonderful. I know that young kids love to get handmade things in school.

That’s brutal. On days like that I close the house up tight and stay inside. Those are sewing days not mowing days.
Neat idea! I love to read. Holding a book to me is more enjoyable than my kindle. Rainbows are pretty😉
Such a good idea will be borrowing to make for our senior centre in a rainbow of colours
Bookmarks are a great idea for the senior center.
Love this Robin so cute xx

You’re very welcome. That is an amazing quilt on the cover. I like to flip through the book and look at the colorful quilts.
Perfect! Thanks for the great idea.

You’re welcome. Great idea. I’d go with the stiffer interfacing. It’s fine as is but I think I’d like It a bit firmer.
These are such a neat idea...I can see them being so handy to mark sections or instructions to anything.
Great idea.
Super cool idea Robin! I love rainbow quilts
🌈
What a neat project and quick! Great way to use up some scraps.
Thanks Laura.
Hi Robin!🙋🏻♀ ❤Love these! ❤ I used to make loads of them when I first started sewing and had items in a local shop in the town I lived in. 👍🏻 They were one of my best sellers!👍🏻💜
I’m not surprised they were popular. I’ve heard that from several people in the comments. It’s nice that they take little bits of fabric and time.
Hi Robin! You've inspired me to make several and donate them to the Friends of my local library, or just leave them in the books that I am donating! Thanks Robin for this tutorial!!

@@rsislandcrafts That's a fabulous idea! Thanks Robin!!
You’re welcome. I should do It for my library too. Make friends with the librarians. Even that one grumpy male librarian 🤣

I don't use interfacing on these. They are handy little things.

Nice tutorial - cute fabrics - excellent stocking fillers :)
Thank you. Yes! Excellent stocking stuffers. Especially if there’s a book or two under the tree
