Hawthorn Handmade Black Cat Bookmark Felt Craft Kit for Beginners

Add a little feline personality to your reading with the Hawthorn Handmade Black Cat Bookmark Felt Craft Kit for Beginners. This charming felt craft kit combines appliqué and hand embroidery to create a beautiful handmade bookmark that's both enjoyable to make and practical to use.

Designed with beginners in mind, the kit guides you through the whole project step by step. You'll learn how to use paper templates, work with wool felt, split embroidery thread and create a variety of decorative embroidery stitches using the detailed illustrated stitch and colour guide.

The Black Cat bookmark is made from 30% wool / 70% viscose felt and uses quality DMC stranded cotton embroidery thread. Everything you need to make the bookmark is included, apart from a pair of sharp scissors.

With an estimated completion time of 6–8 hours for a beginner, this is a lovely project to enjoy over a few relaxing evenings. Once finished, you'll have a handmade bookmark that you can keep for yourself or give as a thoughtful gift to a fellow book and cat lover.
