Directions To Make An Apple Bookmark
Step 1
Print out the apple pattern and cut it out. You will need 2 sets of everything cut from felt (stem, leaf, apple).
Step 2
From the leftover felt scraps, cut two strips to fit inside the hair clip.
Step 3
Squeeze the end of the hair clip to open it and hot glue the felt strips to the inside of the prongs. This will keep the clip from getting stuck together when you glue the apples on.
Step 4
Glue the hair clip to one of the apples, right in the center.
Step 5
Glue the second apple on top, covering the visible hair clip.
