Don't you just love sending a special cross stitch gift to a friend? A card you've stitched is a great way to mark special occasions and holidays. Your friends are probably thrilled when they receive your cards and admire them for quite some time. Sadly, though, eventually the cards end up tucked away inside cabinets and drawers. Instead of a card, you may want to create a personalised bookmark the next time a special person in your life celebrates an occasion.

　　Bookmarks just make sense. Your friend will sit down to relax with a book, and your bookmark will help make that time even more enjoyable. Each time this person reads a book, he or she will once again get to admire the special gift you made. A cross stitch bookmark is a gift that's both practical and pretty.

　　Keep these hints and tips in mind before you start your bookmark project.

　　Start Nylon taffeta by thinking of a pattern that in some way reflects the personality of the recipient. For instance, does your friend like to garden or have a beloved flower? How about a craft or hobby he or she enjoys? Stitching a bookmark is easy and doesn't take long because the pattern is, by necessity, small and simple. So pick just one element that signifies what this person likes and use that for your cross stitch bookmark.

　　Children may be encouraged to read by being given their very own bookmark, with a favourite cute character stitched onto it to make it personal for them.
