Construction:
Place the eyeballs inside the eyelids, and position on top of the head. I placed the eyes about three rows down from the top of the head. When sewing, hook some of the actual eyeball so that it doesn’t pop out later. We want whole, intact eyeballs. 😉
Using just a bit of black yarn, sew a little smile. Add the feet three stitches in from each side along the bottom. And you.are.done. Woot! Look at that adorable frog bookmark!! ♥
Keep on keeping on with these adorable bookmarks – the next one I publish will be the pig! An adorable little piggy! I am also planning to craete a monkey, a dragon, a cow, cat, dog and maybe a flamingo? The possibilities are endless!
