Sew everything together – Crochet Sword Bookmark

Slide the blade inside the handle (you may slide a piece of craft wire inside the handle before, to make it more sturdy), grab 2 wings and sew them both together at the same time, face to face, on one side of the top of the handle, making sure to go through the handle and the blade at the same time.

Do the same for both side, to have a wing on each side of the handle.

I highly recommend you to watch the sewing section of the video tutorial for a better view and to see how it’s done.

When you’re done sewing every thing together, the only left thing to do is to embellish your sword with some ornaments of your choice. And voilà, you will have the most original and fantasy like bookmark ever!
