This felt craft kit makes a romantasy-inspired bookmark featuring a brown owl framed by a golden halo of stitches, with a crescent moon, scattered stars and leafy branches on teal felt. It teaches a variety of felt-working and embroidery techniques, so it's a great beginner project and a lovely handmade gift for a book lover.
