This DIY felt teacup bookmark is so much fun to make. You can choose a mix of felt colors and felt scraps. Use only two threads from the embroidery strand to stitch the felt pieces together.

Step 1. Download the free templates for a DIY felt teacup bookmark from my library and gather all materials. Cut out the templates and cut all the pieces out of felt.

Step 2. Cut about 12 inches of brown ribbon. Glue one end of the ribbon between two spout pieces, right on top of the spout. Stitch the spout pieces together. Next, stitch the heart piece to the one teapot’s belly piece. Stitch the two handle pieces together.
