📖 Styling Ideas

• Stitch and use as a functional bookmark (back with felt or fabric)
• You can also stitch on plastic canvas for a clean, sturdy finish with neat cut edges (using a smaller tapestry needle can make stitching smoother, as the material is slightly firmer to work through)
• Add a ribbon or tassel for extra charm
• Laminate for durability and long-term use
• Frame in a narrow vertical frame for a cozy reading nook
• Stitch multiples as small handmade gifts for fellow readers
• Pair with manga, novels, or planners for a cute stationery set
