Love Bug Bookband

Your book will be unmistakably yours with a beautiful Love Bug bookband keeping it safe. Hand cut and pieced, freehand machine appliqued onto thick wool felt, and then attached to a length of wide, colour matched elastic - the perfect size for a regular novel or A5 diary. I have been stitching Beetles since 2011, and they are still one of my favourite things to make!

These bookbands were made out of necessity, as I am someone who regularly thinks I can manage a few pages of my book before I fall asleep, and this more often than not ends up with my husband peeling my book off my face an hour later... I got tired of losing my page, so something had to be done! The band stretches perfectly around most books, so even if you're reading a big fat hardback it will keep your place for you. These are also perfect if you use a paper diary or planner.
