| Materials:
- Heavy weight sew-in interfacing*
- Permanent black marker; fine or ultra
fine tip
- Crayons or colored pencils
- Scissors
*It is important that you use sew-in
interfacing as iron-on interfacing has a layer
of glue on one side.
1)
Print out our pattern and trace it onto a piece
of the interfacing with a permanent marker.
When tracing, it helps to tape the pattern to a
window and hold your interfacing over the
pattern. The light coming through the
window will make it much easier to trace.
2) Cut apart the pilgrims you have traced so
that you can distribute them to the children but
don't trim close to the pilgrim yet. It is
easier to color them this way.
3) Color the pilgrims with crayons or colored
pencils.
4) Cut out the pilgrims just outside the
outside lines. Very young children will
need help cutting out their bookmarks.
Some grade-schoolers may find it difficult to
cut close to the line. If that is the
case, I suggest instructing them to leave a
little bit of white around the border. The
important thing when crafting with children is
that they feel good about what they have
created.
Optional: Before cutting out, flip your
bookmark over and color the other side.
You should be able to easily see the lines from
the front side.
