Pastel Pen Pal Bookmark Pattern PDF – Kawaii Bear & Rainbow Pen

If cute stationery is your weakness, this little bear is probably about to become your next project. 🌈🐻

Pastel Pen Pal was made for the kind of stitcher who gets genuinely excited about a fresh notebook, a new set of colorful pens, and tiny handmade things that make everyday moments feel a little more special.

Perched on top of a rainbow pen, this sweet little bear becomes a bookmark you’ll actually want to keep tucked inside your favorite book, planner, or journal. The design is small enough to feel satisfying and manageable, but detailed enough to make the finished piece feel special — a quick dose of color, cuteness, and handmade charm.

And because it’s a practical little project, it’s just as easy to imagine stitching one for yourself as making a second as a thoughtful gift for another stationery lover 💖
