Supplies for Easy Butterfly Bookmarks

Snip your linen fabric about 3 inches down from the corner on the selvage edge and begin to tear the fabric across.

[{"selector":"#anim-31333c18-85e5-424e-9bdf-fab94fa2ea63","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b812e4a7-f00d-41f5-827c-be516e2baf3d","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-114.9847%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more

Then do the same on the other side however long you want your bookmark to be and tear it into a square.

[{"selector":"#anim-8f5f0493-8d1a-4c02-ae61-644d55d9f31c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-34f5cedd-3d06-454e-abb6-5b3abea1e607","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.14196%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more

Now you will have an almost perfect square with frayed edges. I made different sizes for the different butterfly sizes I was choosing.

[{"selector":"#anim-dde7e9a4-c091-4527-8c9e-8f6d36922de7","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-278d4e2a-d857-4246-94da-58f48a6f6fd1","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.55555%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more
