Sugar Skull Bookband

These little sugar skulls  are a gorgeous addition to your autumn reading material. The design itself measures 7 x 9cm, and is hand cut, and freemotion embroidered onto two layers of thick, interfaced wool felt, then finished with a a coordinating elastic and a tiny Fernery label.

 These bookbands were made out of necessity, as I am someone who regularly thinks I can manage a few pages of my book before I fall asleep, and this more often than not ends up with my husband peeling my book off my face an hour later... I got tired of losing my page, so something had to be done! The band stretches perfectly around most books, so even if you're reading a big fat hardback it will keep your place for you. These are also perfect if you use a paper diary or planner.
