If you want the bookmark to be stiffer, cut a piece of interfacing slightly smaller than your fabric piece and iron it onto the back of the fabric according to the interfacing instructions.
Pink the Edges:
Cut the fabric’s edges with pinking shears. This will result in a zigzag design that is both beautiful and helps stop ripping. To preserve the same layout, make sure you slowly trim along the edges.
