Cut your Aida fabric into a rectangle slightly larger than your final bookmark size. You need to secure it in a small embroidery hoop to keep the stitches even.
Start with the darkest color, usually black or deep brown to fill in the background. This sets a rich base that makes your colors glow.
Move to the central motifs: begin with the mushroom cap, then the potion bottles. Use contrasting tones to make each section stand out, and sprinkle small stars or dots for a bit of sparkle.
Once your design is complete, trim the fabric neatly, leaving a small border. Then attach the felt backing with glue for durability and a clean finish.
Finally, add a crocheted or whip-stitched border in a pastel color and tie a slim ribbon at the top.
