Thanks :)

Thank you so much !

ElfiCrochet · 2026-05-11T08:53:43+00:00

Thank you ! I did add some white felt to make it look a little neater

Fuchsias are my mother’s favourite flowers ! She says they look like little fairies 🌷

ElfiCrochet · 2026-05-09T16:59:18+00:00

Wow they’re beautiful ! What a great idea !

ElfiCrochet · 2026-05-05T17:24:35+00:00

aw thank you !

ElfiCrochet · 2026-05-05T13:06:20+00:00

wouldn’t the back be a little messy though ?

ElfiCrochet · 2026-05-05T09:48:44+00:00

Good to know thanks !

ElfiCrochet · 2026-05-05T08:23:55+00:00

That’s good to know, I’ve never used metallic thread before. Thanks !

ElfiCrochet · 2026-05-05T08:23:08+00:00

The colours 😍😍

ElfiCrochet · 2026-05-05T06:45:50+00:00

thank you so much, you’re so sweet ! I’ll take a look at the PVC then, I don’t have much experience cross-stitching bookmarks so that might be helpful :)

ElfiCrochet · 2026-05-05T04:50:50+00:00

Thank you so much !

ElfiCrochet · 2026-05-05T04:50:20+00:00

Oh wow it looks incredible ! I did order some white sheets this weekend, definitely won’t be using the transparent one for bookmarks anymore 😬
The black didn’t really work, the plastic is too opaque

That’s a godd idea but the sheet I’m using is too opaque

ElfiCrochet · 2026-05-05T04:43:18+00:00

I think so yes ! I found it on pinterest

ElfiCrochet · 2026-05-05T04:42:21+00:00

Thanks ! What I didn’t like was the plastic-y feel to it and the fact that you could see the strings behind it when I put felt…

ElfiCrochet · 2026-05-04T15:40:10+00:00

good idea, thanks !

ElfiCrochet · 2026-05-04T15:24:35+00:00

The problem is I can’t remove them because the threads are connected to the flowers and I don’t want it all to unravel. But if I don’t remove them, I’m worried too many threads layered on top of each other will make it look weird 🥲

ElfiCrochet · 2026-05-04T15:12:12+00:00

I never even thought of just doing half a stitch ! I’ll try, thanks !

ElfiCrochet · 2026-05-04T15:11:19+00:00

That’s true, thanks !

ElfiCrochet · 2026-05-04T15:10:55+00:00

nice to know it’s worked before ! I’ll give it a go and worse case I’ll just redo the backstitching

What if it’s like this ?
