There's something special about marking your page with a bookmark you stitched yourself. Cross stitch bookmarks are a beginner-friendly, endlessly portable project — and a heartfelt gift for any reader. Here's how they work, how to finish one, and which kits to start with.
What is a cross stitch bookmark?
A cross stitch bookmark is a long, narrow stitched design finished with a tassel, made to slip into a book. Our cross stitch bookmark kits feature travel landmark designs — Big Ben, the Eiffel Tower, the Empire State Building, the Golden Gate Bridge — so every book comes with a reminder of a favorite city.

- Portable: small and light enough to stitch on a flight or a quiet evening.
- Useful & giftable: a finished bookmark you'll use, or give to the readers and travelers in your life.
