Here is a very cute idea for a book marker. You could make these to sell or even the kids could make these as a rainy day project.
Cut 4 pieces of felt ( can use wool felt also) in the shape of a mitten, about 1 x 1 1/2 ". Blanket stitch 2 pieces together for palm and back and insert one side of hair clip. Do other side in same manner and insert other side of clip. Use wide clips. Gather approx. 8 "of lace and sew around end of mittens to cover clip head and make a lacy wristband. Use these to clip on top of book pages to hold your place.
If your feeling really crafty you can embroider or paint designs on your mittens before sewing them together. Hey, or even glue beads or sequins on this.
Have Fun !
