Hawthorn Handmade Hare Bookmark Felt Craft Kit for Beginners

Add a touch of British countryside to your reading with the Hawthorn Handmade Hare Bookmark Felt Craft Kit for Beginners. This beautiful felt craft kit combines wool felt appliqué with hand embroidery to create a charming handmade bookmark inspired by one of our favourite British wildlife characters.

Designed with beginners in mind, the kit takes you through the whole project step by step, so no previous embroidery or felt crafting experience is needed. 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.

Everything you need to make your hare bookmark is included, apart from a pair of sharp scissors. The kit contains 30% wool / 70% viscose felt, DMC stranded cotton embroidery thread, an embroidery needle, stainless steel pins and reusable paper templates, together with Hawthorn Handmade's illustrated Guide to Felt Craft booklet.

Inspired by the countryside surrounding Hawthorn Handmade's Dorset studio, the Hare Bookmark is a lovely choice for wildlife lovers, nature enthusiasts and anyone who enjoys handmade accessories.
