If you are looking for a fun craft to celebrate St Patricks Day then I have a lovely craft to share today. My daughter loves to read so we had a lot of fun designing these felt shamrock corner bookmarks. Use felt and thread to create them and you will never lose your page again.

List of supplies:
Felt (I used white, light green and dark green)
Needle
Matching threads
Pencil or fabric marker
A pair of scissors
Free felt shamrock template

How to make a felt shamrock bookmark

Prepare the template patterns and select different shades of green coloured felt. Trace the shamrock layers on different shades of green felts and select a different coloured felt for the bookmark base, I used white. Trace and cut out the patterns.
